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
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
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!
Alestorm
About a month ago I went to see I band I liked called Turisas, and supporting them was Scottish band called Alestorm.
I decided to buy myself a copy of their album, and I must say, I keep putting it on quite frequently as its rather good.
There’s something about Scottish Pirate Metal thats just AWESOME!
