Hi guys… reporting back with a lame arm and no voice and with feet that feel like a truck ran over them.. but otherwise pretty healthy. XD

So for those of you not in the know; I went to Sonisphere in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, yesterday June 20th, 2009.

Expected were
The Sword (Cancelled due to extreme fatigue from their tour)
Mastodon (Cancelled last-minute due to logistical reasons. I.e. wouldn’t arrive in time.)
Pendulum (12:20 – 13:00)
Kamelot (13:25 – 14:15)
Lamb of God (14:45 – 15:35)
Down (16:00 – 17:00)
KoRn (17:30 – 18:30)
Slipknot (19:00 – 20:15)
MetallicA (20:45 – 22:45)

Pendulum surprised me as I had never heard of them before. Their mix of Electronic and Metal reminded me a bit of Linkin Park but without the Emo and with more “oomph” behind it. I’m going to see about getting one of their albums once I figure out which has the songs I like best. (Downloading is justified when using it to scout for music you might want to buy. Not when doing it just to get free music from artists who haven’t given their music away for free. I will hold this up in court if necessary.)

I’m not much of a fan of Kamelot, Lamb of God and Down, and mostly walked around wearing my cameo-style full-body zentai suit underneath my MetallicA shirt and black jeans.I’m hoping to attend Sonisphere again next year. ^-^

Oh, P.S. If anyone who made a picture of someone wearing a full-body covering suit at this event is reading this.. could you contact me please? I’d love a copy… ^-^; Forgot to make a photograph of myself…
