I miss the old Monsters of Rock festivals at Castle Donington.

It was one day with one stage (ok they did add a second smaller one later on) and they always held it in August so it was usually warmer and, more crucially, it went dark earlier so the headline band could use the full light show for the whole of their set. It just made the headliner that bit more special.

Don't get me wrong, had some great Downloads but I'd still prefer racking up Friday afternoon , pub crawl round the village in the evening, one full day of serious rocking and then home on Sunday. Job done.

I was torn between seeing Those damn crows and Cassyette so went with the crows, who were brilliant.

Shinedown were amazing obviously, but really enjoyed Skillet (I think I love Jen, their drummer), Frank Carter impressed me too.

Think some of the acts on the second stage were let down by the sound though. Could barely hear Tremonti’s guitar

Those Damn Crows! They were an amazing discovery.

In contrast to almost everyone else I hated Shinedown. They were boring as hell. Why did every song have a worthy message and why did we need a passionate explanation about that message between each one?

Those Damn Crows though!

Was that the female only pit for Frank Carter? I thought that was a brilliant idea"

The female only pit is a great idea I think he got it from Fugazi?? It makes me chuckle that two of the best live acts around in Britain, Frank Carter and Frank Turner are probably the least frontman/showman names you can get. I glad you all had a good time.

"I miss the old Monsters of Rock festivals at Castle Donington.

That would be great actually. It's a ball ache getting the time to go to a festival these days. "

Stonedead in Newark. One day, one stage, 9 bands, only 180 tickets left.

Personally, I love Steelhouse, 3 days up a mountain in Wales with (this year) Saxon, Europe, Michael Schenker, Inglorious, Graham Bonnet, These Wicked Rivers...
