Kerry King

[Bürggermeister]

We spent most of the day going to wherever a band had just finished. I still saw more of Ill Nino than is acceptable. Therapy? and Slayer were the only two decent bands all day and it fucken pissed it down during Slayer so we got the bus as soon as they finished. Shitfest. Amazingly bad day.

Just read an article there that listed those two, which I don't remember at all, along with Paul Weller, who was the one I couldn't remember.

[jpm4]

I remember Cyclefly finishing their set at Ozzfest just as I was heading in the gate - might have been their last gig? Fond memories of seeing them play in Cork.

[Kunt 4 Life]

Drowning Pool played didn't they? Think the singer died shortly afterwards.

[son of the Morrigan]

Yeah, System Of A down too.
I had a mighty time at that, was out of my little mind on a concoction of substances.
Got my eyebrow pierced in the back of a van for a bet, promptly got kicked in the piercing during Slayer. Was tippin a Spanish wan at the time who had wild curly hair which got caught in the piercing and near ripped it out later that night. Got TCP in my eye a few days later whet it inevitably got infected.
Good times.

That was a mouldy day for me too. Up drinking till the early hours the night before. Woke up still drunk on the couch in the morning and had to tell the oldies I got up early to wait for my lift to the gig. My mate collected me and he had a slab in the back of his van so straight back into it. I was in some state but it was a fun day.

22 years ago this may... Where did time go.
Never really been anything similar since, unless you count download Ireland a few years later

pity there hasn't really been anything like it since. Well Day Of Darkness was great, but not as mainstream if ya want to call it that

My housemate at the time got back from that Ozzfest gig in an awful way. Soaked, broke, bloodied and single.

There was a bus up from Cork for it and he took his girlfriend. The two of them got locked, had a row - not unusual for them. Went in opposite directions.

Got back on the bus to go home and your one was eating the face of some other lad... in the seat directly behind him. 

Started scrapping with this other lad when the bus stopped for a piss break.

Ended up getting a slap of a Miller Genuine Draft bottle off his ex.

This was her attempt to calm things down.

Almost had that sunstroke revival only for the oul bastard restrictions. Faith No More, Deftones and Killing Joke, couldn't go wrong except of course it did

[Carnage]

Is that the end of Killing Joke now do you think? I can't imagine them continuing without Walker.

It was a bus organised by regulars of the one metal pubs in town - either Fred Zep's, The Wolfhound or The Quad. More than likely the latter as it was our main hangout at the time.

I wasn't there myself - I was only witness to the aftermath when he got home.

"She was shiftin' that Pizzaface cunt on the mini-bus to fuckin' taunt me!"

"Manglehoop's buddy?"

(Manglehoop was a fella who forevermore walked with a bad limp after he had an industrial accident whilst working in Bourne's Electronics back in the 90s. Looked like he had permanent jockage.)

"Yeah - him!"

"Bad form. Do you want a toastie or something?"

[Carnage]

Manglehoop!
