What's strange about it? WT first headlined Bloodstock back in 2005. Mind you, they were still a Metal band back then.
You could just get a day ticket for the Saturday, as I did last year ![]() |

Exactly, they were still a Metal band back then, they are a long way from that now.
![]() Or are you suggesting that a Metal festival might be bit too much for the average WT fan? |

I'm a bit of a music buff but have never really been into heavy metal / heavy rock and have generally steered away from it in the past. However, since I'm off work with a broken leg at the moment I've decided to give myself a "history of metal" education.
So far I've listened to the obvious trio of metal pioneers (early albums by Led Zep, Sabbath, Deep Purple) and then backtracked to pre-metal heavy blues - Mayall, Clapton, Beck etc. but has anyone got more suggestions for early pioneering hard rock / metal albums? And here is a list of albums to get you started http://rateyourmusic.com/list/RENZO4...st_70s_albums/ |

I've managed to avoid everything to do with the tour so far, all I have seen is one photo and read her voice is superb. I'm not going to respond to any of the threads on here until after the shows have finished because I don't want to spoil it for anyone else going after me.

It is the same down here. Bristol is the 7th largest city in the country and yet we are finding more and more we need to go to Cardiff or Birmingham to see bands, even the smaller bands.
![]() Micheal Schenker also plays Norwich,as do Black Star Riders,and UFO next year. Either that or its London or Cambridge, Hawkwind are funny about their venues they never seem to play any anywhere near me going to Bedford to see them.

I tend to travel to Norwich if bands are playing at the UEA (from Essex} as its a small venue 1500,which makes it more intimate last year Phil Campbells All Star Band rocked it to bits and he met us after even though it was not a meet and greet lovely bloke..

But as soon as they become a little bit better known those same fans, the ones who put them in the bigger venues in the first place, are then expected to pay for the "privilege" of meeting them. I don't think so. |

I don't think so. It's only a recent thing usually i would not do it but to meet some is a joy be it Phil Campbell (free) or Black star riders the meet and greet for them was quite reasonable as it included concert tickets,a 30 min acoustic performance for us only ,and a big goodie bag including a t shirt for less then £100. Micheal Schenker his sheer talent makes me want to meet him,and believe me he is back to his absolute best,but you also get to meet the rest of the band. Some are better then others but if i did not think it was worth it to me personally i would not pay. |

I don't think so. It seems to be an American thing that's become more popular over here now. I don't agree with it either. |

Yes i agree but here is the "but" traditional rockers did not do meet and greets.

It's not the bands, it's the promoters who are demanding it more & more, as it makes more money.

I've met the guys in Black Stone Cherry a few times as they always used to do a signing after their shows, as most bands used to. Now they are doing an Arena tour next month the inevitable "Meet & Greet" package is available.... |

Finally got around to ordering tickets to see Diamond Head in Swansea on 21st Nov.
Was a big fan of theirs back in the days of 'Borrowed Time', but never got around to seeing them. I know it's only Brian Tatler left from back then, but still looking forward to it. ![]() Also got tickets for the mighty Saxon in Shepherds Bush in Dec, about the 20th time I've seen them and they seem to get even better with age. |
