Xann Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I want to see the benchmark heavy Part Chimp in April, but my mate that can be relied on not to cry or spontaneously combust is out the country then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Band were awesome! Tony and Geezer on form as ever. Ozzy sounded good too! Set list was the same as the rest of the tour though, so have to wait until Saturday to see if there are any "surprises". Queues though everywhere! Parking was a nightmare - ended up having to drive out of 1 to park in another, queue to pay for parking, queue to get in, massive queues at some bars (though found a much quieter one), queue for merch (where they have sold out of the £25 standard version of the "EP" they were selling, can only get the signed version for a "reasonable" £75.....). I hate arenas.... Ah well, back again on Saturday and going to go much earlier to avoid queues and try and get as close to the front as possible! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Don't get much down in Devon so tempted to see Royal Blood at the Eden Project in June. (Anyone seen them live?) Nice place for a gig, saw The Flaming Lips there a few years ago and it was awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, same set list as Leeds, but I didn't mind too much. I was also buzzing off my mate's Dad, who was going mental! He must have told everyone he met, how he saw them at Yarm Country Club, back in the day, and they'd lost all their kit, so they borrowed his band's PA! I'm not a huge lover of arena gigs either, but I thought it was actually OK. We skipped the support act, so went for a couple of beers in the sports bar, in the casino at Resort World. When we got in the arena, the queue for the bar wasn't too bad, and we got to our seats just before Sabbath came on. Only issues I had was the bars shut just before half 10, and the queue for the bogs. As we got a taxi in and out, parking wasn't too much of an issue, and getting in, our taxi driver played a blinder, and just went straight to the head of the queue in, and pulled in, so all good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that impressed with them, came across as a couple of idiots with their egos massively inflated. However, festivals aren't always the best to judge live. I would probably say the flaming lips would be better (though I've not seen them live!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You definitely didn't miss much with Rival Sons - average rock band at best. You were better off going to the other bar! Sounds like your taxi driver was ace to be fair though with the parking, didn't end up paying as I wanted to pay by card at the end and the security couldn't be arsed to deal with it so just left me through! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
