haha
probably not as bad as Linking Park (who are shit anyway) previewing the singer's side-project half way through the performance

that was fucking shocking
I'd had quite enough of Linkin Park after half an hour, but for him to kick the band off, and bring his other one on was outrageous. Particularly as they were headlining!

I think
a lot of people just wandered off. The side-project was terrible as well, just rehashed Linkin Park.
Which bands did you enjoy then?

Alice in Chains were the highlight
fucking awesome.

Metallica were obviously good, although not as good as when I saw them in March. It was almost like they were demanding more cheering and applause when it wasn't quite due. Still kicked ass.

Airbourne, Skindred both great.

Coheed and Cambria were great, mainly because they played a full version of Iron Maiden's The Trooper, and did it very well.

Lauren Harris was good. Sexy, and her band rocked as well. Plus she's the daughter of the bassist from Maiden.

how about you?

Metallica
really rocked I thought, got a few old favourites in, and a great atmosphere.

Skindred I thought were superb- kudos to anyone who can get a crowd moving that early in the day.

Heaven and Hell gave me a giggle, didn't see much on the smaller stages though, since I get fatigued very fast and thus prefer to conserve energy.

Our camp-space was awesome, we couldn't be bothered to walk up for Alien Ant Farm or for Airborne, but the wind direction was just right and we heard the whole thing.

Skindred are always good for that
Heaven and Hell were great, I listened to them from the camping space too. Wind was pretty good for where we were too.

I'd forgotten Alien Antfarm. they were worth watching for Smooth Criminal, and for the weird bass player alone.
