Went to see System of a Down at Brixton Academy on Friday night and was totally blown away! The best gig i have been to for years.

Even though they were late getting on (1 hour after the support act) they still played a 1 3/4 hour set with a great mix of new and old songs.
Wish i could have gone to the Saturday and Sunday shows aswell.

Highly recommended!

Im generally into soul, id love to see Joss Stone in Birmingham this December but i doubt i have the money. Metal-wise, im into Otep in a bog way right now, Evanescence are ok and so are Nightwish, though i hear Tarja has been booted from the group now.

Havent had chance to post before now but have to tell you all about the Coldplayand Foo Fighters gigs b4 Christmas.

Took my Wife to Coldplay and got seat tickets as see is expecting and didnt fancy standing for 3 hours. As i got my tickets online 2 mins after they went on sale so we were looking right down on the stage.
Richard Ashcroft was supporting and was pretty good.
Coldplay were fantastic!!!
3 songs in they did Yellow and they released these huge yellow inflatable balls filled with glitter from the back of the arena. Was a real good effect. They finished with Fix You which was great. The stage and lighting was the best id seen. 8 1/2 /10

4 days later back to Earls Court for Foo Fighters.
I could not wait to see these cause they were the first proper band i went to see 11 years ago on their first tour.

This time i went with a mate and we had standing tickets. We got really close to the front and was pleasently surprised to see Super grass come on stage as the support act. The sound was good and the singing spot on.

Half hour later it was show time!!
They had brought down what i would describe as a light curtain around the stage. The lights dropped and from behind the curtain came guitar struming. The light curtain lit up with white lights and the curtain rose. Dave Grohl was silohetted by bright white back lighting and seeming to keep strumming from ages! What and opening. They went from hit to hit, old and new. Dave Grohl was the complete showman chatting and teasing the crowd, having guitar duels only for both guitarists to be outdone by Tyler the drummer! After turning away from the crowd to sing a love song to Tyler Dave went on the drums and Tyler sung a song. The place went wild.
10/10!!! Probably the best gig ever!

The only down side was that the music was so loud that my ears rung for 3 days.:sad: Think i probably did some damage.

Anyway im gonna shut now. I could keep on going but i cant be asked to keep typing.

You were lucky you got the full foo fighters show, because at cardiff we got a shorten 1 hour 20 minute show because they were supporting oasis. But they were the highlight of the day for me. Closly followed by Subways & Razorlight.

I am a big fan of Eels. Have been for years. Seen him last year in december for the very first time. I was truly impressed and amazed. Mr. E has a gift for finding the right musicians around him for his latest projects.
