Dead Mike

They've did a successful arena tour this year. Download is now focused on middle aged punters, their pricing dictates that that's the demographic that can afford £9 pints & £18 burgers. A standard weekend ticket is now around £350 with parking etc on top. As the old guard of headliners like Aerosmith, Metallica, Maiden, Kiss et al all start bowing out they're replaced by the likes of Korn & Limp Bizkit. Nostalgia acts for 45yr olds. Evanescence ticks that box perfectly. We went to every Download from 2009 to 2019 & watching the change from a cool genre fest to a massive cash cow was tangible. Last time I went it felt like you were just getting rinsed at every opportunity. Fuck Live Nation! However, the 2000 Trees announcement yesterday has brightened up my week no end.....

Blink, BMTH & Evanescence?

At the airport heading out for my football weekend in Atlanta. Planning on linking up with a bunch of travelling 49ers fans from around the US for TNF tonight. Got Georgia Tech/Boston College on Saturday & visiting the College Football HoF on Monday. Planning on eating my body weight in fried chicken, collard greens, catfish & grits. Diet starts again next week!
