I'm feeling more & more alone in thinking they were great. Seems a lot of people are slagging them. I haven't seen that vid but being there I thought the best part was the fact that it actually sounded a lot like the old recordings. Maybe I was just in the right mood...

No, I liked them a lot too...these videos fake a lot of the real impression..

I liked Angel Witch too, though I can't quite get around the fact I think it's kind of sad and ridiculous how it's all still built around one single album that is nearly 30 years old.

Angel Witch were brilliant at Headbangers- much better than in London recently- and they were great there.

First time I had been, but I was with friends who had been before, and even I could sense the vibe wasn't quite right.

Still: Razor, Manilla Road, Portrait, Enforcer, Angel Witch, Killers, Cloven Hoof, Tyson Dog, Piledriver made it all worthwhile.

The lack of lights/ swamp combination was not great!

Maybe they should organize an olde cult metal quiz where more correct answers = cheaper ticket price!

Angel Witch ruled! Not really sure if they (Kevin) were (was) old and tired as I am just that and was happy to being able to keep up with their (his) pace. It may be sad them only living off those nwobhm-era years of creativety - but you wouldn't want them to omit any of that stuff in order to include songs off "screaming assault" or that rather horrid nineties t(h)rash.

Other highlights for me: Exxplorer and Manilla Road.

Nightshade also was really cool. Rick Pierce played some cool stuff and his hair-do was, along with MR performing Cage of Mirrors, the proto-metal event of the event.

How were Razor? Anyone with a set list?

RAZOR were damn intense..played a mix of old shit and "shotgun" era stuff.... Reid sounded great again (like ibn Montreal a couple years ago) on the Sheepdog stuff.... now let's hope next time they will be in Europe it will be with Sheepdog...hehe....

I doubt it. Razor are still active and Bob Reid is thier vocalist.

I'm not familiar with the non-Sheepdog era but they plaied four songs or so.

Starting of with saying that the bands I saw absolutely rocked, great line-up this year. How great were Tyson Dog, The Rods, Tank and Razor.. amazing..
I was suprised by how big the whole thing got in a couple of years, we arrived in the early morning after the pre-party, and the (I thought only) camping was already full. WTF, but there was another camping luckily ;p . Still a lot of familiar faces and good fun. Nothing to complain at all for me. the music totally makes up for whatever is not all right there.

Few pics I have uploaded:

How can it be possible to start a set with a better song than 'Take This Torch'?!!! I guess I would have used up all my energy during that haha. Now I regret I wan't there.

1st picture is great. Then crop the 5th one and it would be really great too(leave out the light on the right)!
