Firstly in Malay Language
Secondly all the videos, before youtube brings them down again
Thirdly a round up in English Language.
Untuk sapa tak tahu, "PRO-SHOT" pertama untuk Tour Book Of Soul 2016 dah ditayangkan kat salah satu cenel di England, aku tak tahu BBC ke hapa ntah.
Empat lagu dari persembahan Iron Maiden di Donington Park sebagai headliners hari Ahad 12/06/2016 dan jugak band penutup bagi Festival Download 2016.
Lagu2 tersebut ialah Speed Of Light, Children Of The Damned, Blood Brothers dan Book Of Soul.
YOUTUBE nampaknya sentiasa menurunkan apa yang diupload pemnat jadi video2 ni mungkin tak lama jugak.
Walaupun Bruce umum 85,000 peminat sewaktu Maiden main, tapi aku rasa konfem beribu2 peminat yang punya tiket tak dapat tengok Maiden pasal jam teruk kat jalan2 menuju Donington, dan jugak pasal hujan tak berhenti, lumpur sangat teruk, dah banjir lumpur, banjir tanah liat,
maka ramai jugak terpaksa balik kerana tempat perkhemahan mereka semua runtuh... Memang dahsyat.
Aku sendiri terpaksa buang boot Caterpillar aku, seluar aku semua lepas je hari terakhir Donington tahun ini. Pergi Primarks dan beli kasut kembes murah untuk teruskan backpacking ke Jerman untuk tengok Rainbow main pulak.
Walaupun Iron Maiden kena lahar teruk2 pasal arahan mereka, bila Iron Maiden main, semua pentas lain kena shutdown. Takde band lain boleh beraksi. Jadi ni dah kira tak adil kepada mereka yang ada tiket festival tapi tak mau tengok Iron Maiden beraksi dan oleh kerana Iron Maiden beraksi malam terakhir jadi maknanya kalau sapa tak mau tengok Iron Maiden maknanya festival muzik ini bagi mereka tamat pukul 8malam. Pasal kul 8.30PM gitu Iron Maiden mula beraksi dan waktu tu semua pentas lain dah kena tutup, semua band dah kena berhenti main.
SANGAT TAK ADIL KAN APA ARAHAN IRON MAIDEN KEPADA PENGANJUR?? Untuk aku ni sangat tak adil kepada peminat2 muzik yang ada tiket festival dan berhak untuk enjoy band2 lain, tapi tu la keras kepala dan degil dan suka tok nenek Iron Maiden buat arahan begini.
Tapi ada baik nya, kerana hari Sabtu Black Sabbath beraksi pentas pertama, mungkin ada 70,000 menonton dan mereka yang kat belakang sekali melaporkan sound bunyi bocor boleh dengar dari pentas kedua walaupun jarah jauh.
Aku pernah alami sound bocor dari pentas ke pentas kat Hellfest, dan tu memang sangat rasa PUAKA bila ni terjadi, tapi berbanding HELLFEST, Donington Park lagi besar giler la kan size dia pada aku.
Dan Hellfest pentas pertama dan pentas kedua ialah sebelah2, sedang Donington Pentas pertama pergi pentas kedua jauh giler lagi keadaan berlumpur dan berbukit berlereng gitu.
Aku speku, kalau Iron M aiden akan keluarkan dvd/blueray/live album rasmi untuk tour 2016 ni,
aku speku dorang mungkin akan pakai rakaman kamera2 Donington ni, atau Wacken nanti malam terakhir tour 2016 mereka, pasal aku tak rasa ada mana2 show Iron Maiden lain yang dorang bawak berbelas2 kamera, jadi mungkin mereka akan gunakan kamera2 festival2 muzik besar yang sedia ada.
Dan jugak Download Festival persembahan dorang memang dahsyat, sila tengok Book Of Soul nye persembahan kat bawah.. sangat terbaik dari Bruce dan semua anggota band kat lagu ni.
Children Of The Damned - Beautiful video isnt it? Makes all the seriously flooding muddy fields and non stop rain and horrible disaster conditions worth it for me for my Donington 2016 backpacking trip.
Speed Of Light -
Book Of Soul
(Eddie Appeared starting 06:40minutes,
scratching his ass/backside.
scratching his private parts in public.
giving the middle finger to the audience
HOW RUDE!!! LOL!!)
So could footage from Donington Download Festival 2016 be the official live DVD/BlueRay/Live Album?
Maiden played a blinder that night, an example as can be seen during the song Book Of Soul above,
When I view these videos a few times, I realised how brilliant they were that night, so I vote this performance as to be an official release. LOL!!
So it could probably be, with Youtube keep removing all the uploads of the FOUR SONGS available since the British TV Channel broadcast of footages from Download Festival 2016.
Now in Youtube there is only 3, fortunately good quality uploads, but I cannot find the Pro-Shot of Blood Brothers.
So enjoy, a horrible horrible weekend, the trouble begins from Friday about 3pm till all the way to Sunday night with non stop rains, and muddy disaster zone environment.
And Sunday with lots of great bands, and Maiden headlining, I think there are over demands of Day-Tickets for Sunday which cause so much chaos in traffic and human flow to Donington.
Bruce says 85,000 but surely thousands cannot make it due to traffic jams, and floodings of mud waters which destroys some camping setups of fans.
I myself threw away my boots and pants after Sunday night. LOL!!!
So enjoy these videos if you have not seen them. I AM THERE SOMEWHERE IN THE CROWD!!! LOL!!!
Donington is a special place , a dream for me since I hear/read/listen to tapes of great bands playing there of it as a little boy till now I can backpack to this special place.
I thought, I will be going to Donington only once, due to the horrible conditions of English Weather in the open environment for the weekend
but here I am returning again,
so I am not surprised few years down the road, when Iron Maiden plays their final Donington ever, I will be there again.
no one can live life in loneliness, only stars in the sky far away... [WELCOME everyone from everywhere, with intention or by accident - THIS BLOG IS BEST VIEWED IN WEB VERSION FORMAT as its how I envision it to be with the text and photos but still any layout format will work just fine.]

Iron Maiden closes Download Festival 2016 Donington Park 12th June 2016. Photos & Review & all the mud and everything else. (my 11 days backpacking alone Rocking Europe 2016 reports continues on and on). - SAMBUNGAN CERITA2 PENGEMBARAAN 11 HARI AKU KE EROPAH JUNE 2016
(First two photos Especially for Tuan Tanah blog Apa Ada Dengan Ijau?,)
Adrian Smith with his San Dimas Lime / Green colour.
(I just take a few photos as I got a bit mental for this show.
i had took over 60 pretty photos of Maiden for 2016 shows in Perth Australia. Over-indulgence, I know LOL. The link is on the right of this blog. Click Steve Harris 2016, you will find it.)
more dramatic photos below... lol
As usual in market bazaar Malay language first and then in Broken English.
Penulisan yang baru lepas, tentang suasana Ramadhan aku waktu backpacking Europe untuk tengok band2 rock kegemaran aku, tentang pasal kejutan kata2 mutiara tentang Agama Islam sewaktu Iron Maiden tengah beraksi oleh orang sebelah aku masa kita tengah berhurray-hurray....
Post kali ni aku cerita pasal
-kapalterbang Ed Force One Iron Maiden betul2 mendarat di lapangan terbang betul2 sebelah kawasan Donington Park yang memang luas giler, seluas-luas mata memandang semuanya ialah kawasan Donington Park.
********
- Ratu Elizabeth II untuk Great Britain sambut hari lahir ke 90 jadi memang rakyat Britain pun tentu suasana seronok raikan bersama,
Bruce Dickinson penyanyi Iron Maiden turut sama, waktu permulaan lagu The Trooper dia pekik ###"Happy Birthday Your Majesty!!!!".###
iron Maiden ialah band British, Steve Harris pernah cakap nak jadi ahli Iron Maiden mesti orang British.
tu pasal Michael Kiske dan Andre Matos takkan jadi penganti Bruce Dickinson suatu masa dahulu walau ceritanya Andre Matos (Angra) nye tape yang dia hantar untuk apply kerja dengan Iron Maiden ialah top 3.
Seperti apa umum tahu, Steve Harris punya top 2 ialah Blaze Bailey dan Doogie White, dan Steve nsk lari dari suara Bruce sebab tu Blaze dapat kerja jadi penyanyi Iron maiden,
dan Dougie White kemudian nyanyi untuk Rainbow Ritchie Blackmore dan sekarang Michael Schenker nye band antaranya.
dan Andre Matos dia keluar Angra (band yang Megadeth gitaris Kiko sebelum ni jugak) dan buat band Shaman yang terbit lagu Fairytale yang popular satu dunia sampai jadi tema cerita drama Korea kalau tak silap aku.
dorang memqng bangga sebagai kumpulan British , jadi sesuai sesuai sangat, kumpulan British, di tempat keramat heavy metal dan hard rock iaitu Donington Park, dengan depan 85000 majoriti British, lagu Trooper cerita kegemilangan sejarah tentera berkuda British, dengan kibaran Union Jack, dan Hari Jadi Ratu Permaisuri Elizabeth II mereka.
Ini antara sebab aku suka tengok Iron Maiden di Donington, seperti kalau ak tengok Kumpulan Search, sila tengok dorang main di JB.
lain dia semacam... thrill dia lain, suasana band dan sekitaran lain, cara peminat sambut pun lain, macam sambut home heroes gitu, macam ada sense of urgency, macam Ribut gitu persembahan.
dan sangat istimewa persembahan. Boleh rasa band atas stage main untuk sesuatu sangat isitimewa..
- Aku tunjuk sikit demi sedikit keadaan lumpur, hujan, dan memang seluruh tempat festival ni dah jadi BANJIR AIR LUMPUR yang membantut pergerakkan. Aku paling nervous ialah jatuh sakit dengan segala macam kuman dan bakteria dan segala NAJIS dan kotoran Manusia dan segala jenis makanan yang dibuang seberangan kat merata tempat di kaki masing2 pasal ni memang tempat DAHSYAT suasana nya dan hujan non stop memang tahap tempat ni bukan untuk semua orang.
Paling kasihan, bebrapa kawasan perkhemahan 5 hari hancur ranap oleh hujan dan air lumpur naik melimpah, dan mereka yang datang untuk Hari Ahad beribu2 orang untuk saksikan band2 hari Ahad dan Iron Maiden tak dapat teruskan perjalanan dengan kenderaan masing2 dan terpaksa pulang dengan hampa kerana jam teruk dari jalanraya menuju ke Donington.
Aku naik bas awam khas jadi memang ada jalanraya semua ditutup kecuali untuk bas awam yang bawa beribu2 peminat sahaja,
Memang banyak komplen dalam internet, TAPI KORANG BUKAN NAK GI TENGOK KONSERT RAIHAN ATAU JAMAL ABDILLAH OK.
- 85000 orang, Bruce atas pentas umumkan ada 85 Ribu orang yang hadir dan tentunya, antara hari Jumaat, hari Sabtu dan hari Ahad, tentunya hari yang Iron Maiden menjadi headliner tentunya adalah hari yang paling ramai orang yang hadir dengan tiket Sehari.
Macam aku, aku ada tiket untuk masuk ketiga2 hari.
Festival kali ini memang sangat dikutuk oleh ramai, kerana untuk ramai, festival Download kali ni seperti condong kepada "METAL ELITIST".
- Tidak seperti Black Sabbath, persembahan Maiden tak ditutup dengan pertunjukkan bunga-api. Cuma dendangan lagu "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" yang berkumandang di speakers.
- Iron Maiden, seperti aku cakap tu hari, Iron Maiden kali ini sound memang lagi baik dari tahun 2013 yang aku jugak hadir di Donington, tapi 2013 bukan salah sound-man tapi kerana angin kencang dan hujan turun waktu Maiden beraksi.
Kali ini sound memang ok, tapi takde PUNCH sebagaimana sound Black Sabbath pada hari Sabtu. Black Sabbath punya sound hari Sabtu... AKU KAGUM!!!!. Mungkin di posisi aku berdiri memang aku dapat sound terbaik, pasal ni semua nasib.. 70 ribu, 80 ribu orang kat padang terbuka dengan angin kencang, hujan lebat, dan Black Sabbath dari lagu keempat Into The Void memang hujan turun sampai abis... tapi aku boleh rasa sangat ketara perbezaan sound Black Sabbath dengan Iron Maiden untuk tahun 2016 di Donington. Walau satu band headline hari Sabtu dan satu band headline hari Ahad.
*******
MEMANG PERTEMBUNGAN GERGASI antara headliner hari Sabtu dan Ahad..
Sebab tu, bila mula2 festival 2016 nye senarai band diumumkan, ada tiga gergasi - Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath dan Motorhead (sebelum kematian Lemmy),
terus Judas Priest punya penyanyi terus cakap dia nak Judas Priest pun ambil bahagian pasal semua GERGASI ROCK Inggeris beraksi untuk Donington 2016 dan dia nak Judas Priest ambil bahagian jugak.
Semestinya, dari tahun 1980, sejak Monsters Of Rock pertama beraksi...
dan sememangnye, segala band rock dan heavy metal beraksi di Donington, dan seperti Metallica, cita2 mereka ialah untuk beraksi di Donington, dan pertama kali berjaya dapat tempat ialah tahun 1985, dan segala rakaman2 video yang mengujakan, dan aku paling tak boleh lupa video2 Sepultura beraksi di Donington tahun 1994 yang sangat mengujakan...
Maka tu pasal, walaupun tak ramai orang suka Donington, dengan keadaan boleh sampai 90,000-100,000 orang, yang camping lain, yang datang harian lain, tapi tempat ni sangat positif vibe dia, pasal aku rasa semua orang satu kepala, baik yang muda, atau yang tua.
Dan nanti aku akan kongsi pelan2... aku suka kemudahan untuk orang2 OKU , orang cacat berkerusi roda, orang buta, orang tua perlukan pertolongan, dan sebagainya cuma kalau hujan lebat, hujan ribut, lumpur teruk, banjir air lumpur terus melumpuhkan segala fasiliti yang disiapkan.
Dan sini makanan macam2, nanti aku tunjuk kedai2 makan jugak lain kali. HAHA.
Ok, design event tshirt untuk Iron Maiden Download Festival Donington Park dan Paris kedua2 nye kongsi satu tshirt,
penuh bermakna TAHUN 1815 DAHULU , PERANCHIS DAN INGGERIS BERPERANG DI WATERLOO, DENGAN GENERAL MASING2 IALAH NAPOLEON DAN WELLINGTON, DAN SEKARANG IRON MAIDEN DAN DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL SATUKAN MEREKA KEMBALI DUA DUA GENERAL DAN NEGARA DAH DAMAI KERANA IRON MAIDEN HEADLINE FESTIVAL INI UNTUK KEDUA2 NEGARA.
dan ACDC nye event tshirt untuk Manchester 2016 yang juga sangat detailed design dia. ok dah tu je cakap Melayu.. sambung gambar... untuk Iron Maiden dulu la, lain lain kali.
Apa pun, persembahan Iron Maiden memang dahsyat. Tv di England dah tunjuk proshot 2 lagu iaitu Book of Souls dan Blood Brothers,
dan dari segi persembahan dari suara dan permainan dan on stage punye pergerakkan semua terbaik.
ada satu HD quality video dah masuk kat youtube, lepas beberapa jam, terus kena katup. Haha.
mungkin rakaman2 dari kamera2 Donington akan digunakan untuk live dvd rasmi.
About 30 mins before Maiden plays..
85,000 fans..
as announced by Bruce on stage.
This is the front direction view, back direction view, and in unholy mudwater flood of Donington which sinks your shoes buried deep.
But.., the downside.. or as Bruce says on stage, Downpour Festival..
By SUNDAY EVENING, CONTINUOUS RAIN AND SERIOUSLY HORRIBLE HORRIBLE CONDITIONS HAD TRANSFORMED DONINGTON'S DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL ENVIRONMENT INTO THIS TYPE OF SITUATION.
ITS NOT really ROCK N ROLL if everyone cannot enjoy it fully isnt it? AS I LOVE DONINGTON download AND HELLFEST festivals due to I ENJOY SEEiNG EVERYONE,
THOSE WITH WHEELCHAIRS
AND SUPPORTS FOR ALL KINDS OF DISABILITIES,
the Blind,
the old, the young kids,
the less mobile needed to be assisted by love ones,
HAVING A GREAT TIME AS MUCH AS EVERYONE ELSE AND THEY GOT THE BEST VIEWS ALWAYS. BUT THIS YEAR WAS NOT WHAT I HAD ENCOUNTERED BEFORE. The weather was horrible and I think the organisers are overwhelmed.
But they make their money for sure. LoL.
first a view of the 2016 version of the Ed Force One used by Iron Maiden for their travels.
If you take the special buses that leads to Donington Park, the area for alighting and boarding of buses is at a huge carpark besides the Midland Airport.
And there was Ed Force One.
I took this photo on Saturday when they arrived at about noon as Maiden headline and closes the festival on Sunday.
Ok, just took some pics for Remembrance sake..
Two photos summarise Bruce, Dave, Adrian, Janick , Steve and lastly Nicko I think buried somewhere under that drumkit.
BRUCE WAS EXCELLENT.
******
anyone seen the BBC or whatever British TV channel footage that shows the PRO-SHOT of Book Of Souls and Blood Brothers in Download Donington 2016?
Book of Soul was amazing, especially after it kicks in to the fast section of the song. The solos, and This is wwhen the Walk On Eddie will appear on stage,
and lots of nice Nicko drumming footage from at least two different close up cameras.
I WOULD VOTE THIS FOR A LIVE DVD FROM 2016 TOUR. LOL.******
Bruce greets "HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOUR MAJESTY!! " at the start of The Troooper.
Bruce talks a lot, love his "if the world is run, the way Iron Maiden is run, the world would be a better place" speech before Blood Brothers and he talked about La Bataclan attack and the recent Florida attack.
He got a new costume accessrories.
A monkey doll with long arms wrapped around his neck for Death Or Glory. Seems a fan throw it on stage.
The Iron Maiden event tshirt, and since now Download Festival has a new franchise in Paris, so its a shared tshirt for both dates.
both dates and locations are on the back, and do take note the one with dates are the event tshirts that are only available on the event itself.
Buying this tshirt on the official website do not have the dates, locations printed.
Napoleon and Wellington since the Waterloo battle between the French and British Armies are now friends, thats to Iron Maiden, Eddie, and the Download Festivsl Mascot.
very nice pretty beautiful colourful tshirt.
The tshirt design front and back, with a close up details of French famous General Bonaparte Napoleon and General Wellington I believe.
With famous landmarks. Very complicated and fanciful.
eiffel tower,
and is that the R101 from Empire of the Clouds.
This is something I had forgotten,
this is for ACDC Manchester 2016 event tshirt as I had forgotten to show earlier
and again a close up showing the detailed Eithad Stadium and the ACDC cannon.
with a tiny print We Salute You.
Next when I got time, I will blog about more of Download Festival, also the 11 days Rocking Euope Alone Backpacking trip is not only for some heavy metal and hard rock happiness, but include some bequtiful moments like the amazing small towns and villages along the Rhine River.
And also more bands.., and all the muddy fields..
Nightwish...
Sharon Osbourne's Black Sabbath
But I must say I like her drummer. LOL.
but it would be nice the final time get Bill Wards just for one song one more time.
it would make the world very happy.
To be continued and continued...
LONG LIVE BELINDA CARLISLE!!!

Black Sabbath Donington Final Ever Show.. in brief.. DALAM HUJAN LEBAT DAN BERLUMPUR!!!!!
30 minutes before BLACK SABBATH FINAL DONINGTON SHOW EVER.
The crowd is like this.
30 minutes before Black Sabbath play on the main stage.
I have only one dream.
To see them play in Birmingham.
But I know I cannot make it, SO whats the next best thing?
See them in DONINGTON of course - 37 miles, 60KM from Birmingham.
See them in DONINGTON of course - 37 miles, 60KM from Birmingham.
Donington - the midlands of England - traditionally the heart beat of Heavy Fuckin Metal and Hard Rock.
The blue-collar industrial lands of midlands of England - Derbyshire, Leicester, Nottingham and of course Birmingham - where it all begins and spread across the world.
(I have travel backpacking to see a show in Birmingham before, and its Bon Jovi, and the Aston Villa Football Club stadium was full and its simply crazy!!)
And that is why I braved the muds and floods to be in Donington just because its DONINGTON. (I have thrown away my boots and my pants after Iron Maiden complete their headlining closing act for the Download Festival 2016 last night).
( I am already saving up for the next 3 or 4 years, when we all know, Iron Maiden will again headline Download Festival in Donington and a lot of people will say "OHH NO!!! NOT AGAIN!! SIGH!!) hahahahaha.)
( I am already saving up for the next 3 or 4 years, when we all know, Iron Maiden will again headline Download Festival in Donington and a lot of people will say "OHH NO!!! NOT AGAIN!! SIGH!!) hahahahaha.)
I make my way in front for a better view.
and it starts to rain heavily when Toni Iommi solos on the song INTO THE VOID.
Horrible HORRIBLE HORRIBLE CONDITIONS.
But the show must go on,
its Black Sabbath playing all the classics (and the newest song is from 1978 LOL!!! and no song from the 13 album, which is weird).
and its Ozzy Osbourne being the singer, so it means only one thing...
""LETS GO FUCKIN CRAZY!!!!!!!!!""
The sound for Black Sabbath was AMAZING, simply jaw-dropping awesomeness where I was standing.
Damn FUCK!!! Nightwish has also a superior sound on Sunday.
DAMN IT IRON MAIDEN!!! Maiden has a superior sound compared to 2013 horrible winds blowing but still I have to say it compared to Sabbath and Nightwish, Maiden's sound in Donington for this year is a bit let-down. - Anyway more of Maiden next time when I do the full report.
I think Black Sabbath played a blinder in my opinion.
Their last time in Donington.
Ozzy was giving his all.
Toni Iommi has simply an amazing sound and of course he is so consistent.
Geezer Butler was there.
Geezer Butler was there.
The drummer, how the fuck does he beats his drums like that for 100 minutes???
So thats it..
NO MORE. THE END. Nice fireworks though. LOL!!!
- No more unison audience participation of "COCAINE"!!!" during snowblind.
And its just a song. No need to panic. LOL!!
- No more singing about LUCIFER who have his seal on the sun and the moon. And I still dont know what NIB stands for. I dont think they admit it stands for Nativity In Black.
- No more singalong to War Pigs and that wooo-wooo-woo at the end.
- No more Children Of The Grave. (When I was younger I saw Sabbath (Forbidden era) plays in Singapore and I will never forget Toni Iommi plays this song right in front of me LOL!!!
- No more Paranoid.
Unless Toni Iommi get back Tony Martin for the Headless Cross reunion and we can get back all the Ronnie James Dio Black Sabbath era songs again too.
Before that MEGADETH.
What a show.
On stage Dave Mustaine informed ANDY COPPING (Download Festival Promoter) allows Megadeth to play an extra song.
And what did Megadeth did? They got Nikki Sixx to join in for ANARCHY IN THE UK!!
Introducing the song about two great bands covering the same song. LOL!!
I think Dave Mustaine himself admit after the show it was a great Megadeth performance.
I personally think Megadeth should use the Donington broadcast as a live DVD. 5 new songs played?
And KIKO!! He does amazing backing vocals..
Most photos are in my digital camera, so next time for full report.
Anyway WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED WHEN NIGHTWISH PLAYED??
I was making my way in front to see Nightwish after I was at 3rd stage for ELECTRIC WIZARD and GOJIRA.

GHOST CANCELLED!!! the band falls sick or something.
I was just getting ready to deliver my best crowd participation sing-along of
" HAIL SATAN!!!!!!!!!! WELCOME YEAR ZERO!!!!!!!!!"
" HAIL SATAN!!!!!!!!!! WELCOME YEAR ZERO!!!!!!!!!"
oh well, maybe next time. Since I saw Ghost opens for Maiden in Serbia, I am so liking this GHOST band. LOL!! Very fun!!!
So on my way to squeeze myself nearer to see Nightwish (and to take some nice pretty photos)..
What the hell happened? Was it fun, WHY DID IT SUDDENLY TURN TO A REAL VIOLENT FIGHT??
I hope nobody gets hurt seriously.
Full report next time.
And oh yes- At the start of THE TROOPER..
Bruce says " HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOUR MAJESTY!!!!"
Maiden was on fire, but Nicko plays too fast? LOL!!!!
Crazy Donington!! LOL!!!
Aku rasa sebak tengok Black Sabbath hari Sabtu..
Walaupun aku menyampah dengan line up ni, aku langsung tak berkenan Sharon Osbourne dan apa dia dah buat selama ini...
tapi aku rasa sebak. Macam orang sebelah aku cakap lepas abis je Paranoid.
Dia cakap "NO MORE".
Dia cakap "NO MORE".
ringkas tapi tu la ayat paling sesuai.
Black Sabbath..
Bila hari ini, peminat muzik Metal, bersaing nak tunjuk sapa lagi true, sapa lagi hitam, sapa lagi garang, lagi dahsyat, lagi setan, lagi evil dan apa je la...
BLACK SABBATH relak je ngan lagu2 dorang...
Walaupun untuk aku Depeche Mode ialah kumpulan muzik yang aku paling rasa dorang ialah paling Iblis pasal untuk aku Depeche Mode begitu cucuk jarum pelan2 HAHAHAHAHA...
tapi Black Sabbath, relak je... dorang tak yah terover.
Tapi dorang memang paling dahsyat dan memang betul segalanya bermula dari mereka.
(TONG!!! bunyi loceng gereja..)
(iiissshhhhh... bunyi hujan turun)
K Full report lain kali.
Gambar kat kamera lain. BYE.

donington heavy rain first day , buka puasa masa ACDC main, and black sabbath final donington tshirt for tonite.
Donington and rain comes together.
but yesterday was a crazy heavy rain.
i read some gossip in the internet that some camp sites are completely flooded.
fortunately not my first Donington, i was a bit prepared from experience, and although i am sleeping in Derby and not camping, i got my rain jacket, and avoiding jeans and bring along a dozen socks. Lol.
Just want say Babymetal was simply awesome live, i mean especially their ghostly band. Like their intro tape goes, babymetal..metal... metal..... metal...
And simply dissapointed with Download organisers regarding the Motorhead tribute. I was thinking with their reputation, Motorhead slot which is supposed to be friday so they are surely setting up for a surprise tribute band, i was dreaming of a surprised Metallica performance but then it was setting up for Korn later in the evening. LOL.
THE TRIBUTE WAS INTERVIEWS WITH FAMOUS ROCK PERSONALITIES AND DOWNLOAD 2013 Motorhead performance which i attended.
I didnt wait too long though, again I skipped Ramnstein and back to Derby for a bath from the soaking wet of rain and mud, then and some proper breaking of fast for Ramadhan Muslim month with french fries. LOL.
Anyway, tonite... Black Sabbath is headlining.
Megadeth is playing too.
i guess i will come late.
sunday will have so many great bands I want to see. So no point I tire myself today.
Sahur is buka, buka is sahur. 2 pagi gitu sampai 9 setengah malam lak tu puasa.
Dahsyat. Haha.
Memang kecoh.. korang jangan lahar aku tapi hari Khamis aku buka masa ACDC tengah main lagui High Voltage.
hahahaha. Kalau tak silap aku la,
Orang keliling tengah huru hara, keadaan langsung dah tak terkawal, aku makan kurma,
and minum air mineral aku dah stanby siang2 letak dalam beg aku aku bawak beg pasal nak simpan beli tshirt acdc, haha
Aku nak cakap sama macam Man City yang shitty, security nak masuk Eltihad pun memang macam Shitty.
Buah kana cina dan jeruk cina yang cam taik hidung tu memang asa dalam beg aku takut mabuk pening2 kan aku travel tak tidur mata dah stone, dorang sudah tuduh macam2..
bila dorang downgrade tuduhan jadi tobacco supplemennt pun aku cakap no.
Buah kurma tak buat kecoh lak, siot la ada mat salleh ni very the bukit.
Aku cakap please please Dont give me any trouble, i come a long way to see ACDC.
Just allow me to move on to enter the stadium,
you dont like anything i bring i will throw all away,
then chief dia siap kena panggil,
Aku rasa sangat babi time tu, ye la, jangan memain,
then kan original packaging ada muka apek cina semua kan,
So chief tu kasi aku balik semua jeruk2 ubat cina tu Sila jangan tuduh sebarang kalau tak tahu apa tu kita bawak.
Anyway masa time buka tu, aku stop kejap dari hurray2, abis lagu banyak gerek2 walau aku tahu liriks bahagian korus je hahahaa, keliling semua mestilah dorang minum beer dah start mabuk abis kena dengan ACDC tengah main punye kuat sound ACDC, dah memang huru hara ACDC kecoh abis dengan penyanyi dibayar gaji oleh Angus iaitu penyanyi jemputan Axl rose. Disiplin giler, orang bakar flare pun Axl diam je... hahaha. Acdc ON TIme naik stage hahaha..
Selalu Axl macam kucing, ni serius dia macam tikus.
Terbaik Axl Rose. AXL ROSE ! I SALUTE YOU behaving like a small kid in front of school teachers which in this case is Angus Young and the name ACDC.

and the singalong to WAR PIGS.
Dan ok, pasal ni kali terakhir aku akan tengok apa apa line up Black Sabbath, kecuali Toni Iommi reform line up Forbidden atau Headless Cross selepas ni, jangan si Sharon osbourne tu buat kacau dah, tapi tak kesah sama macam Heaven and Hell, reform Toni Iommi dengan Tony Martin boleh panggil naam band Headless Cross, dan Toni Iommi boleh main semua lagu Black Sabbath dan bukan lagu ozzy je, maka ni malam buat pertama kalinye, aku akan tepok tangan untuk Sharon Osbourne's Black Sabbath drummer masa dia punye drum solo nanti. Hahaha.
Get back Bill Wards at least for a few songs and pay him the money damnit.
Acdc nanti aku cerita panjang dengan pengalaman aku berback packing ni kali.
Berat nak mampos backpack aku kat belakang yang besar giler, dengan back kecik sikit untuk depan. Hahaah
