Posted on July 24, 2011 | No Comments
Closing out Sonisphere 2011 were the colossal Slipknot with what was a hugely emotional and powerful set. The untimely death of bass player Paul Gray last year set into focus how fragile life can be and the Slipknot Maggot Meet-Up held on Sunday morning was...

Posted on July 24, 2011 | No Comments
For one reason or another we have never actually seen Opeth live, a shocking revelation indeed!, but thankfully that ghost was well and truly laid to rest at Sonisphere as we bore witness to a short but brilliant set on the Saturn Stage from the...

Bill Bailey – Sonisphere 2011 Live Review
Posted on July 22, 2011 | 1 Comment
The inclusion of comedy has been one of the high points of Sonisphere for me over the last couple of years. This year was slightly different however as rather than just keeping the comedy to afternoons on the Bohemia Stage, they have gone for the...

Posted on July 21, 2011 | No Comments
Motörhead normally scream out of the blocks when they play live, but today at Sonisphere’s Apollo Stage, Lemmy opens with an announcement, an announcement that is like a bombshell across Sonisphere. Former guitarist Würzel had died of a heart attack the day before. Some were...

What, no dreadlocks!!! Anders Friden chopped off his trademark dreadlocks, yes, yes, we know he did it last year but this is the first time we’d seen it! Anyway enough about hair, what about the In Flames show? Well, we didn’t actually see the show...

Sunday saw an increase in “Lady Gaga Must Be Destroyed” t-shirts which can only mean one thing… Messrs Jericho, Ward, Grey, Delson and Fontsere were in town and it was Fozzy day on the Jägermeister Stage. Fozzy live is an experience, it’s full on high...
Airbourne – Sonisphere 2011 Live Review
Posted on July 20, 2011 | No Comments
Airbourne, the rough and ready Aussie rockers really take the biscuit for pure entertainment. Right from the opening “Terminator” intro music, through to set closer ‘Stand Up For Rock ‘n’ Roll’, Joel O’Keefe and his boys prove to be the perfect festival crowd fodder… and...
Volbeat – Sonisphere 2011 Live Review
Posted on July 20, 2011 | No Comments
Sonisphere Sunday arrived with a healthy hangover, it certainly wasn’t a bangover after the disappointingly damp squib that was The Sisters Of Mercy… Thankfully, there was a fine cure on offer first thing in the shape of Elvis Metallers Volbeat! We love this band here...

Posted on July 20, 2011 | 2 Comments
On a rather damp but quite warm Sunday morning, the final day of the ever-magnificent Sonisphere Festival has landed on us with full force. Smiles and groans met with very bouncing sound in the air. I, for one, was prepared for a mission to document...
The Sisters Of Mercy – Sonisphere 2011 Live Review
Posted on July 18, 2011 | No Comments
Saturday saw two heavyweights of gothic gloom going toe to toe. Follow the river of mascara, the Goths and closet Goths flocking to the Bohemia Stage, and you have Paradise Lost and The Sisters Of Mercy flooding Sonisphere with hypnotic darkness. Sonisphere marked The Sisters...
Paradise Lost – Sonisphere 2011 Live Review
Posted on July 18, 2011 | No Comments
Saturday night at the Bohemia Tent belonged to the dark side, weepers and gloom seekers, with both Paradise Lost and The Sisters Of Mercy adding a darkened alternative to Biffy Clyro. Judging by the impressive audience these two gothic heavyweights pulled, Bohemia was full of...

Posted on July 18, 2011 | No Comments
The powerhouse line-up on the Bohemia Stage continued with mighty French progressive metallers Gojira, yet another band that got us excited at TINAS Towers when they were announced for Sonisphere. Renowned for their powerful performances, this was one show that we were NOT going to...
Architects – Sonisphere 2011 Live Review
Posted on July 18, 2011 | No Comments
