Any TC'ers going?

Driving up there at stupid a.m. tomorrow! Plenty of retro rock goodness in the line up with Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Faith No More and ZZ Top, so should be a good few days

Is that a replacement for the old Monsters of Rock?

I think half the bands playing were at MOR the last few times I went

Def Leppard, Thunder, Motley Crue, Whitesnake - can't remember ever seeing any of 'em there, but I did pay to

Still can't bring myself to drink Special Brew

Yeah, apparently the company that organised what was MOR handed the reigns over to someone else, and that someone else now calls it Download.

Was an absolutely superb weekend, with the older bands showing the likes of Korn and Bizkit how it's done. Biggest surprise of the weekend was ZZ Top! Have a whole new respect for those guys, they are absolutely superb live.
