So like i said after a nights work we returned to our tents for a couple of cans. While discussing life the universe and girls (Hi Kayleigh) we over heard a slight disagreement no more then 10 feet away from our tents. We listened in trying to figure out what the hell was going on between this guy and girl. After debating whether or not we should get involved we moved up to the gates with the security guards, in the hope of finding out what was going on. According to the two security guards this fight had been going on all night, they believe that on the walk back to their caravan the guy had lost a £20 note and was blaming the girl. Fine, we offered the guys at the gate some beer, sat back and watched.
The longer we sat and watched the more this didn’t make sense. We’ve all been pissed over stupid things while drunk but never has something lasted so long. As more security guards pulled up in their trucks to watch the early morning entertainment, we took it upon ourselves to stumble over a little closer to find out the true story. As we started to make our move into the car park the guy burst out of the caravan and proceeded to let the air out of the tyres of her car while shouting “You’re making me do this, why are you making me do this. You’re just embarrassing me”. He then locked the car and ran off into a tent…Be-fucking-zarre. The girl sat their for a second then disappear only to return with a crow bar, she then smashed every window of HER car and sat in the drivers seat. Seconds later the guy return unlocked the car and told her she could have just asked and he would have opened it. We were pretty drunk by now and it was about 5 in the morning so we were giggling like school children. We took note of who the girl gave the crow bar back to and walked over to ask her what was going on. It turns out that this girl was sucking off him off and pulled away half way through and refused to finish him. AWESOME.
The final day went pretty much like the rest, only this time i was closing Download. That’s right i was the last performance of the night, even after Iron Maiden (who were shit by the way). So…i technically had Iron Maiden open for me :). Me and Leo took to the stage with Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the name of. It went down well with the crowd, we only had about 3 cans thrown at us. I took one to the knee, not quiet as good as Byron’s can to the head or balls but still a story to tell the kids.
I have to admit when i first choose to do this i was dreading it…if you were to ask me now if i would do it again…i think i would say yes. See you at Download 2008 :).
