www.seansrecordings.blogspot.com currently uploaded 4 out of the 16 bands I recorded. So far uploaded Bloodshot Dawn, The Haunted, The Rotted and Equilibrium. Not great quality recordings due to having to use a low bitrate setting to record but good enough for jogging the memories of everyone who was too drunk to remember the bands sets!

You aren't Ataroth, I agree. I liked the line up anyway. I think it had the right amount of everything. CARCASS, Amon Amarth and Satyricon were fucking awesome :D

Needs more thrash bands next year as they get the crowd going the most by far.

That was an awesome weekend... Kreator was freaking amazing! In general "Metalheads" are open minded people, i mean Bloodstock promotes all types of metal/rock genres... and there was some people who had a chav attitude, why chuck stuff at performers or anyone for that matter, how doe's that make the rest of us look... i'll be surprised if bands will want to play bloodstock in the future after, some mindless idiots destroy the whole atmosphere and camaraderie. I don't understand why watch something you don't like? I don't like Blind Guardian so i didn't watch them... simple anyway all in all apart from some goons! It was an awesome weekend met some really cool open minded people and thrashed out like a mother-f*cker!!

I mean I painted my face and it's nice when everyone gets into it but when someone in full body paint falls on you and it goes all over your clothes it is a bit crap.

My mate told a guy where to go when he got his red paint near him - it wasn't even during Turisas. He said "this jacket cost forty fucking quid, don't go anywhere near it." The guy's face dropped in an instant. I felt kinda bad for him but I couldn't help but laugh.

I enjoyed Blind Guardian immensely, then when Cradle came on I went and got pissed and danced in the Sophie Lancaster tent and carried on enjoying the night. Sorted. Everyone I met was pretty friendly but statistically, in 10,000 people, there's gonna be a bunch of nobs. The only bad thing I had was a guy getting red paint all over my jumper during Turisas because he was really drunk and all over the place then promptly vomited right behind me. Niiiiiiice.

Slit_your_guts all I was trying to say is that metal is in a much fitter state than it was in 2004. And I don't know why you feel the need to relate with someone any more than "wearing the same t shirt as the next guy and buying them a drink." You sound like you had a bad experience with meeting people there, which is weird as everyone I met was nice.

I've been to festival's in a load of different country's, Germany especially, and I have to say there are more morons in the UK than anywhere else. I had at least 3-4 groups of random twats with costumes (meant to be funny I presume?) coming up to me "lol r u gunnA botl cradl ov filf lol", just ignored them each time. I'd actually put money on half the people bottling Cof liked them no more than a year ago, but found out it was cool to dislike them.
