Not doing Download (being an SMF in Spain instead) but that date in England might be ideal for me too!!! |

| Hi there fellow SMF's - I've been keeping a low profile - i'm waiting for a hospital operation (major one) on my back.
So with this in mind - I'm not sure if I can attend Donington / Download.
This hurts like hell - my first TS show was Monsters of Rock, Donington 1983 ...
So seeing the boys play this hallowed rock/metal turf should be a "no brainer".
If I get more news on the operation - the UK NHS could be anytime unlike our US of A SMF's health insurance, we have to "wait in line" for our turn.
How is everyone? Alive n' kickin' I hope.
Cheers for now

Donington is the place - Donington Park is the Race Track, Castle Donington is the nearby village.
Monsters of Rock is the festival 1980 - 1996 ish (one day, 36 hours of metal/rock heaven)
Download is the festival now occupying the site (for four days - metal, rock, emo, and all other sub genres)
Hope this helps :-) |

I'm glad to be around fellow SMFs!
Too true ... last year at Bloodstock festival - about 12 of us hardened UK SMF's met up and saw the band live - just search the "Roll call for Bloodstock" thread I started last year.
Awesome bunch of guys too - Funtazia, Richard (you've already met) and Marty Smf and others - whose names i have momentarily forgotten - crap ;-) |

Location: Worcester, England | Hey all you SMF's!
Sorry I haven't been on here forever! But was chatting to Dan Bach at a Mike Monroe gig the other day, and saying how lush it would be to meet up with all you guys again! I didn't make Bloodstock last year as TS played on my wedding day!
So I will beat Download all weekend if anyone is around, really looking forward to seeing the band, cause althought I've seen them I think 7 times, have never seen the guys outdoors! Woohoo, will be awesome!

The band completely rocked Download! Have a ton of pics to put on here if I can remember how! An Dan, Julz noticed you side stage and made sure he got a load of shots of you too. Was also pretty cool to see the guys from down and bowling for soup completely rocking out side stage too - in face the next day the bowling for soup guy dedicated a song to twisted sister because in his words they are the best band in the world!
What a weekend! |
