Check out this lineup!

Forget Download, Reading, Glastonbury and even Sweden Rock

This is the stuff we need!

Yeeeeessss, there are some of my favourite bands on there! :D

But....

.... about half of the lineup (naming no names) would make me vomit and/or cringe with embarrassment. :oops:

And there are quite a few I'd love to have seen 15-20 years ago but I suspect would fall into the latter category now. :(

oh man... excellent! :twisted:

I wouldn't be so fussed about Monday's lineup, but Friday and Saturday are pretty damn good.

Philly Q · « **Reply #4 on:** July 05, 2008, 09:50:44 PM »

Yeah, I could live without the Monday. And the Sunday, apart from Black 'N Blue and maybe Yngwie.

It's all a bit incestuous, with Jaime St James having been in Black 'N Blue and Warrant, George Lynch in Dokken and Lynch Mob, Barry Sparks in Dokken and Yngwie's band, Keri Kelli in... half the bands on the bill!

YES! Cheers, I'm definitely going the Liverpool one, even if the venue is awful.

I just left Dave Meni' a comment on his youtube, might recommend him some BKP's :P

Yeah - Riff Raffs may be the closest to what he had on his old 70s LP.
I would suggest a mule in the bridge and a riff raff in the neck.
Tried an LP recently with a pair of Riff raffs and it sounded perfect for stuff like "forever" or "from the moon"

That's interesting - I've only had the Riff Raff bridge in an SG, never tried the neck model or heard them in an LP. I thought they might be too bright.

Meniketti's solos on the Black Tiger and Mean Streak albums have some of my favourite guitar tones ever.

Mehffles...'tis in Texas. I ain't gettin' on no plane, foo'.

Ah well, one day England will get a good line-up somewhere....hopefully.

The last festival I even bothered with was Ozzfest '98 in Milton Keynes. Now THAT was a line-up, heh. :D

What was the MK line up then?
Are you near there yourself?

Meneketti plays a LOT with both pickups on
With the Riff Raffs you can do that and sound really good
I found that I did want a bit more midrange personally on the bridge pickup alone

With the Riff Raff in the neck you do lose just a bit of that Gary Moore fullness but you can play chords on the neck without it sounding too wooly with distortion on

ah, come on, warrant are great! :lol:

the biggest problem is, if i were in the area of course, that there's a couple of excellent bands on each day, coupled with some others that you wouldn't mind seeing if you were there. I guess that's the plan though, to make you pay for every day...
