Hope it ain't like the late 80's with half-filled stadiums.

Not in Europe.

In the 80`s, the "Monsters of Rock" was THE rock event of the year, Donington particularly.

I remember the US tried it with...um..was it Van Halen, Metallica, Dokken etc. and it bombed?

This bill looks worthy of the "MOR" banner.

I went to see that show at the L.A. Coliseum.... I had a great time. The food fight before Van Hagar's set was a riot!

[Mr Grimsdale]

[Seshmeister]

he was in the kitchen doing something rude with a courgette

Now that is what you call a line up (and I remember this one). One day event with Maiden as the headline act. If I remember righly part of the stage collapsed that day as well.

I seem to remember one of the projection screens collapsed into the crowd.

It was the early kickass Appetite era GN'R too, They used a lot of footage from that show in the Paradise City Video.

That would have been a decent lineup.... in 1978.

Anyone from THIS century?

And why is Joe Thunder playing?

In 1986 the cunts who organised it decided in their wisdom to ban alcohol going in . So me and about seven of me mates decided that we weren't going to sacrifice a days booze and drunk fucking everything we had taken with us in an hour ( and what we didn't drink we threw over each other ) .

As we were still outside at that point , and being 17 and stupid , we didn't notice that everyone else was throwing their booze over the fence for their mates to pick up .

Pissed was an understatement .

[Mr Grimsdale]

you silly sausage

[Reverberator]

Oh wooden tit be larvelly .
