Reading 2006 Highlights

“Pin”/”Gold Lion”/”Maps” by Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Friday)



“Nancy Boy” by Placebo (Sunday)

Last time I saw this band, I guess it was Leeds Festival 2000 and it fucking poured down for their set and they didn’t play this song so I feel a bit better. Their set included a 10minute break where they had a technical problem and they turned the camera on the girls in the crowd who felt it nescessary to lift their shirts. A bit boring and gratuitous but nobody was complaining, I guess. The band didn’t look too impressed though.



My Chemical Romance being bottled at the beginning of their set. I don’t care much for the band and neither did the Slayer fans who hung around and felt as if they should make their feelings clear about this rookie band being above them in the bill. Fair play to them for actually winning the crowd over but their music was a bit whiny for me. (Sunday)



“All My Best Friends are Metalheads” by Less Than Jake (Sunday)



“Baba O’Riley” by Pearl Jam (Sunday)
