I recognised that song within the first 8 bars :P

I used to love The Cult
but I saw them last year, and they pretty much sucked.

damn - don't you hate it when that happens?

yeah, I was really disappointed
I'm sure they were good back when they released the above, but the singer was a tosser and could barely get enough breath to sing an entire line. They have a shitty sound now and their newer songs are fucking crap.

In contrast, Europe (who did the Final Countdown) were ace.

They were surprisingly good at Sonisphere
and were pretty good sports about the fact that the massive crowd in front of them were only waiting for the obvious song. That crazy dutch marching band wandering round doing covers was still the best thing about that festival though.

I thought you were talking about The Cult then for a moment
yeah, I enjoyed it. My mrs had got their latest album though so I knew a few more songs.

The singer has since got himself a show on Planet Rock and he is quite funny and plays good stuff, so they have my approval. At the moment.
