Dragonforce @ Cliffs Pavilion

Gig time again as we headed off to sent and windy Southend to see Dragonforce at the Cliffs Pavilion.

GLAMOUR OF THE KILL
These up and coming stars put on a really good set. The were a bit emo/screamo but I have to admit that I did enjoy them. I fully expect them to be huge over the next year.

SYLOSIS
These guys were a little noisy for Toni but I really liked them. Bit of old skool thrash/metalcore.

SABATON
These guys were totally amazing. They totally enjoyed being onstage and performing and were so appreciative of the cheers they were getting. We will definitely be going to see them again!

DRAGONFORCE
Another great performance from these speed power metallers. Thankfully the audience weren't quite as frenzied as they were last time I saw them in London so I was able to stand near the front. As usual everything was perfect and how they manage to keep those blistering solos going all night whilst running around like maniacs I will never know. This was Aaron's first proper gig (and one of his fave bands too) and he loved it. Seasoned giggers Sam and Connor lapped it up too. It was a mad night with us getting soaked with water, beer, and Toni being accosted by a drunken Polish dude.

The only downside of the night was getting back to the car and finding we had been issued a parking fine even though we were displaying a valid ticket. Needless to say a strongly worded letter (to the Telegraph LMFAO) will be in it's way!
