Deciding if I should go all punker than thou and wear my Against The Grain top I got in the early 90s and sneer at young fans like a few older āpunksā do.Ā can't imagine there'll being many younger fans at a 2022 Bad Religion show, I think you'll be ok.

Lockdown showed me life was far too short, so Iām making an effort to go to a couple of shows a month this year. Amen to that āš» I always try to have a few lined up, age is nothing but a number. I really wanna goto that Boysetsfire show too! Samiam and Be Well are playing too. Brilliant lineup. Samiam are one of the few bands left that I really want to see, and I haven't seen Boysetsfire since After the Eulogy came out. Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 One of the first bands I played in as a kid was named after a BSF song (Eviction Article) so will be a nice bit of nostalgia. Iāve never seen HWM or Samiam so that should be a great gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 2, 2022 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 2, 2022 I'm gutted its only the London show and there's not a show closer to me but I am gonna try and go. As for me, other than Bad Religion, i've Nine Inch Nails and Rammstein this month, couple of big ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-d-d-dAz Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Amon Amarth released a new single today (āGet In The Ringā). It sounds likeā¦ well it sounds like modern Amon Amarth. Youāre either going to love their schtick or youāre not. I do. Very much. And theyāre superb live; itās all dragons and beer and fellas in funny costumes.

d-d-d-dAz Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Iām not sure you should be seeing the best show of your life at 35, but Iām struggling to think of any gigs Iāve been to that were better than Bad Religion last night. Wall to wall anvils of songs, place going absolutely mad. And, thereās something so authentically āpunkā about Greg Graffin; dressed like the professor he is, dad-dancing his way through some of the biggest and best punk bangers of all time. Su-perb.

There was a lovely moment at the gig last night where a bloke and his son were getting their pic taken. They went to the merch stall and the dad had a UK Subs shirt and his son had a Bad Religion one. I thought it was really nice! Just going to echo what @d-d-d-dAz said above. I had an absolute blast! A really brilliant gig. Jay Bentley being a punk uncle, a punkle if you will, and hadnāt seen UK Subs in about 20 years so that was fun too!

Merzbow Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) Saw Mirna Ray last night in front of around 10 people, I think some all dayer was on elsewhere so they got most of the cool kids unfortunately. A great little gig tho, noisy, chaotic psychedelic post-punk and it was over by half 9 so an easy trek home. Oh and the venue put up blood soaked union jacks, nice.

Itās based on previous years as Download havenāt released the official times yet (should do over the next couple of days), but itās usually pretty accurate. 3 hours ago, Tommy! said: I'm there on my lonesome, first time I'm camping at a bigger festival.

Unless youāre one of those people who like to be pretend that Download is āhomeā or has to be there first, thereās no reason to be there on the Wednesday.Ā I understand why they open it up then, but thereās not enough there to warrant being there an extra dayĀ Edited June 6, 2022 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
