My Vitriol.. I had forgotten about them! I actually got into Leeds Festival with a My Vitriol artists pass many years ago and had people asking for my autograph... which kind of made me smile as I am not sure any of the band look remotely like me!! are they still going? Remember they were touted as something special around the time Coldplay, Muse, JJ72 were doing the rounds.

There playing a gig in London in May(?) but they havent released any material since 2008 and the only have album they released came out in 2000 so they are a strange act!

I use to love JJ72

Yeh, me 2, although in retrospect he was a little whiney

I was more of a fan of the bassist

Hillary

She was a stunner !!

Just done a bit of researching and she released an album last week under the name of 'The River Cry'

Very dark & morbid sounding songs

Really!! I thought she was a cardboard cutout eye candy to help sell the band rather than a musician.

Bit harsh

haha!

Yeh I guess, I remember reading something about her having only played bass for a couple of weeks when she joined the band tis all

Seen too many decent support acts to mention, but the worst must be those who backed Metallica a few years back at the MEN.

The Sword, stereotype heavy rock band. 2 verses, mind numbing 5 minute guitars followed by 3rd verse. Think Spinal Type with guitar stance. Next up, Machinehead, whose set consisted of song, yo Manchester, song, yo motherf$$$$$$s, yo ......ad nauseum. Thankfully, Metallica were a wonderful surprise.

Just remembered a great support act Bob Log III. Supported Franz Ferdinand in Bradford in around 2005. Also The Kills supported that night so overall a good night. Not sure how that slipped my mind
