Yeah, yeah yeah, I know :D I wanted to see them, but never enough to buy a ticket. I enjoyed them. I wasn't fussed on the Cavalera stuff - I've seen Sepultura a couple of times recently and loved that, but Max and Iggor's one album with thin material didn't seem to be enough to get me to walk to that stage. Oh, and you couldn't drag me to see Jonathon Davies - not a Korn fan, and not fussed on his solo stuff at all either.

So I've heard, but he seemed nice enough. He knew a couple of the guys we were with and started chatting. Seemed very interested in what the Damnation Festival guys were doing this year (apparently they've got a killer headliner lined up by the way, and none of them would reveal who it was even when drunk - but they reckon they'll sell their tickets, and it's 3,500-4000 capacity this year)

Not much, really - usual festival kind of chat. He was vocally pi**ed off about being dropped from playing the boardie BBQ slot (ForeverNever played instead). And in fairness, there was a whole bunch of "politics" around it (guess why).
He's keeping Amenti going, which is good to hear - although he has no guitarists at the moment. Makes it a bit difficult, obviously, but as I understand it they can do one offs, but not think about writing/recording/touring.
He seemed to be having a good time. Well, he was smiling a lot. I don't think he took his hat off all weekend. That said, since he's taken the dreads off I bet his head gets colder.
I was reminded of when we bumped into him in the campsite last year with the best method of carrying his stuff to where he was camping. Basically he'd loaded it up into a big green wheelie bin - beer at the bottom, tent at the top - and we met him pushing that up the fields. Genius idea - can't understand why more people didn't think of that.
