I've got myself in a kind of weird situation and I need you guys to dig me out.
Basically I'm writing a feature for Sputnik on the festival. The big selling points to the Sputnik readership, obviously, are Rage Against The Machine and Metallica. I saw Rage just fine, but sadly, some fairly major personal problems arose for the guy who drove me down there on Sunday night, so my choice was to either stay and see Metallica and get stranded miles away from home with no way of getting back, or going home and missing them. Obviously I went home.
So what I need from you guys is for you to tell me what YOU thought of Metallica's performance if you saw it, and if your opinion is well-written and well thought-out I'll include it in the article, and credit you.
If people care enough too, what I might do is include quote boxes throughout the article with your thoughts on some of the other bands I'm writing about. Those will just be one-sentence jobs, but it's still a way to get included if you want it. Here's the list -
Future of the Left
Blackhole
Jubilee
John Cooper Clarke
Phil Jupitus
Dizzee Rascal
Serj Tankian
Biffy Clyro
Ida Maria
Friendly Fires
MGMT
Vampire Weekend
Queens of the Stone Age
Rage Against The Machine
Kids in Glass Houses
The Gaslight Anthem
Santogold
The Last People on Earth
White Lies
Los Campesinos
Seasick Steve
Foals
Thrice
Bloc Party
Bullet For My Valentine
Manic Street Preachers
Yeasayer
Robots in Disguise
Cajun Dance Party
The Whip
Holy ****
Hadouken!
Mindless Self Indulgence
Feeder
Tenacious D
