They weren’t? I do recall there being a Jagermeister tent last year where they were dishing out shots in *glass* test tubes which was ludicrous. However, I was happily walking around drinking Jager & Red Bull and apple sours & lemonade. Of course, they weren’t in spirits bottles… Nice to have no issues with people taking in plastic bottles this year. Ideal for filling with water for between bands.

That is one of the things I like about Graspop, apart from Heaven and Hell (and that could have been to do with how far back I was), every band has great sound, as they way they organise it means each stage has a nice gap between each band so the next one can set up properly. Do you know why spirits were not allowed in or being sold over the weekend?

I missed Mastadon, though I was tempted to see them. I caught them supporting Slayer in Australia a year or so ago and they sounded OK – but the venue sucked so the audio was rubbish. Would have been nice to give them another shot.

I was there too dude. I have to agree about Crue and Manson. I only made it through Crue by being staggeringly drunk. We only saw a couple of Manson tunes as he was truly awful. Mastodon were band of the weekend for me. Mesmerising.
