Monsters of Rock 1992
My first ever festival was MOR 1992. Iron Maiden(Awesome), Skid Row (Also awesome. Seb Bach called me a mother fucker), Thunder (One of the best festival performances I've seen), Slayer (A noisy racket), WASP (Blatantly miming) and The Almighty (Were there too).
Some random moments.
The two blokes who'd drunk themselves unconscious before the first band came on. I wonder if they managed to see anybody and what colour they were when they woke up.
The two rock chicks, also pissed, trying to get to their feet. One would manage to get mostly vertical and the other would try clambering up her like a ladder, their soft lycra clad skin grinding against each other, before the pair inevitably collapsed into a giggling pile of thrashing legs and mighty hair. I watched them for about fifteen minutes then beat my stalk-on down with a rolled up program and went on my way.
The bloke shagging a blowup doll in the centre of an appalled - yet fascinated-circle.
The free singles that some clown had handed out and were now whistling through the air like black vinyl death stars.
The epic bottle fight. The bottles blotted out the sun and the slaughter was great. A two litre plastic bottle impacting the bonce bloody hurts too. (It could be worse. My brother swears blind he saw somebody take a direct hit from a clingfilmed turd.)
The equally epic queue to get back out of the carpark and as I drowsed in the passenger seat all I could hear was "Maiden! Maiden!" hissing through my ears.
We shall not see it's like again.

epic bottle fight., oh yes!
*decloakes* ... making sure nothing is too exposed!

That was my 2nd MOR... and the epic bottle fight and black vinyl death stars, yup I remember it once you mentioned it!

Tho talking of bottle fights, the Marquee on the day of the Poll Tax riots was I think the most fun I've ever had, and maybe regaled at some point!

*cloaks* as its getting a bit nippy
