Yeah I've seen them three times - Ozzfest 2001, Manchester Apollo 2001 and Brixton 2002 (the second night). The London gig was pretty good, but nowhere near as great as the one at the Apollo - that blew my mind totally. I was at the front, the setlist was amazing and there was a minimum of assholes. The London gig was a bit marred for me by the huge amount of crowdsurfers and idiots banging into me all the time - it didn't help that a girlfriend I'd broken up with 3 days earlier was there with me and I was attempting to shield her from the worst of it while not getting TOO close. Tricky situation.

Oh undoubtedly it isn't just a London thing, we get crowd wankers up here as well. To be honest I'm incredibly fussy about my gig-going, tending to get irritated by the slightest things. I'm turning into a boring old git who stands in a good viewing position or gets a seated ticket. Damn. Having said that, I was at the front for Therapy? the other week and that was class. I think I'll always prefer smaller gigs to be honest, some of the best I've been to have been local ones watching my friends' bands from the crowd barrier with a few other mates.
