Went to see KoRn and Slipknot last night with my brother Nick at the Sheffield Motorpoint Arena. Not seen either of these bands for quite a few years, I think the last time was at Download Festival and I believe Jon Davis didn’t actually end up being there for KoRn as he had his vocal chords?

Anyways the gig was really great, KoRn played quite a lot of their older material which put me on a bit of a trip back to my teens and gothing it up. Slipknot were as heavy and brutal as every time I have seen them, definitely got my heart going and screaming along with the songs, fists pumping in the air.

Bit deaf today and with a sore throat, but totally worth it! Nothing quite like a night of chest thudding metal to get you going in the new year!

Sound City

Posted on March 11, 2013 by Kris Wragg

I recently watched the documentary Sound City by Dave Grohl, it was definitely the best music documentary I have seen so far and a great insight in to a place where most of my favourite albums / artists were produced.

I also purchased the soundtrack which has songs by a lot of fantastic artists including Paul McCartney, Trent Reznor, Stevie Nicks and obviously Dave Grohl. I think my favourite track at the moment is “You Can’t Fix This” with Stevie Nicks because it really gets stuck in your head.

Fear Factory

On Tuesday I saw Fear Factory live at Manchester Academy 2. They were fantastic, playing a good blend of their new album, Mechanize, and older tracks from digimortal, demanufacture etc.

All in all the gig was everything I had hoped for, a lot of my favourite tracks, heavy as hell, and left me wanting to punch through a wall and bench press a truck!

U2 Concert

Saw U2 yesterday at Don Valley Stadium, Sheffield.
The gig was really good, and the stage was absolutely amazing, must have took a LOT of time to design it!
Only bad thing was there were really bad sound dead-spots, had to move to a more central area to get a decent sound.

Indestructible

Posted on August 23, 2008 by Kris Wragg

Recently bought myself a set of tickets to see Disturbed at Nottingham Rock City, so decided to buy myself a copy of their latest album, Indestructible, which I hadn’t got around to buying yet.

It’s not a bad album at all, it has several good songs on it, notably “Inside the Fire”, “The Night”, “Criminal” and “Divide”. But personally I wouldn’t say it was their best album so far, I’m still a big fan of The Sickness which has a lot of classic tunes on it, and whilst this new album is not a bad album, I don’t think any of the songs on it will stand the test of time and get regular play in rock clubs like their earlier stuff.

Anyway, I will be looking forward to moshing like a mofo when I see them live in October!

Saturday Night and Sunday Morning

Posted on August 18, 2008 by Kris Wragg

Well, I’ve been listening to Counting Crows latest album “Saturday Night and Sunday Morning” and I must admit I’m very impressed with it, it has several really good songs on it! Certainly not bad after 6 years since they released their last album, looking forward to seeing them at the Sheffield Arena in December!
