Your Perfect Festival

[The Subhuman]

So they fucked up

We don't have to

It's clearly a cover of Metallica's second worst song

Bailey did it better

Til it Sleeps

Don’t know about that......most of the tracks on St. Anger I’d consider worse.

Sound good to me young lady

Nothing wrong with Enter Sandman or Enter the Sandman for that matter.....

[The Subhuman]

Off Load which apart from that is close to the perfect metal album...St Anger's song writing is actually fine as is most of the playing...It's that snare drum that ruins it and that's down to production. When I first heard St Anger I thought it was excellent then I started to notice that drum more and more. Now that's all I can hear and it's unplayable

I doubt there's ever been an album that was ruined by a single instrument before or since...unless it's Morrisey's voice

[The Subhuman]

I have 3 of those on my list

Tried to mix one or two modern acts/soul artists with singer-songwriters on each of the three days.

Those highlighted are my headline acts

I saw Van the Man live in Manchester in the early 80's, he never moved off his stool all evening however what a wonderful concert it was, his band was as tight as a nuns .....

Robert Wyatt and Al Green good picks.
