So another of the Bulldog Bash, that Biker fest. hosted by The Big Red Machine, over, and it was a special once this year, the 20th aniversery, and Oh My Fuck was it goooood. Thursday - All packed and ready to go, driving down o pass the time we were thinking of the funniest famous voices that you should be able to download for Sat. Nav. I liked Joe Pasquale -"I know a RIGHT that will get on your nerves, get on your nerves..." - brilliant. We got there and set the tent up in recored time. We decided to go for a walk down the food ring, and on the way we saw that playing in like 10 mins was none other then CHAS AND DAVE =0 It was brilliant, any one who doesnt know them they are a cockney duo, Chas on keyboard and dave on Bass both doing vocals, then usually drums in the back. The were the ones that did the theme for 'Only Fools and Horses.' It was great. Then we went for the food, came back to wait fo a apparently brilliant AC/DC cover band, at this point there was thie really shit band just doing covers called Hellraiser. They sounded like iron maidens shit little brothers (and iron maiden are not exactly a good bad so thats saying something =P )they were terrible, they did VH's 'Jump' it was just wrong. Then they were ready to leave and said, "do we have time for one more" then this rip on "NOOOOO!!!!" came from the back it was so funny. But they did =( then they fucked off, finally. We were waiting for Hells Bells and we noticed that the instruments were not being moved around, which was wierd bu we thought, maybe Hell Raiser were just using the same amps etc, some bands do that, then the guitarist came out, and i was like, ooook...maybe the guitarist is helping out for one of the bands beause the other is ill or something...then it happened, the bass plauer came out, then the drummer, then the vocalist and lead came out dressed like Angus and Brian, i almost cried, we fled back to the tent and listened to some real AC/DC a bit of Jack Daniels and soem Jelly Bellys (Mandi had brought 3 kilos of Jelly Bellys and 8 bags of Cool Ranch Doritos =D )So we chilled after that. Fri We were just waiting to see Skindred that day, so woke up early because of some crazy Scot with the Blue Angles. We went round the stalls and didnt see much new or interesting. Went for food, then watched the Drag racers, and saw the Rocket car, amasing every time you see it, and because Skindred are playing another gig today they had an early start so they could leave early. They came out and from the get go they got the crowd pumped, and from that point the energy only went up, man the whole fuckign tent was rocking out you know, the barrior behind us was bouncing, it was crazy, Mandi said in the 19 out of 20 Bulldog Bash's she has been to they go the crowed psyched the most. Was amasing, the Bass was gnarly, it ripped through you, you could feel it in your stomach, in your bones, was brilliant. The lead was doing like elvis impressions, putting his dreads up nto a quiff, it was just fucking rockin' best live i have ever seen. Tried to get backstage to meet them but they were packing up to leave, so didnt. Went for food, came back watched a little of the next band but they were just nothing compared to Skindred so back to the tent for more Jack and coke =D Sat Same as usual, caught the 'Run what you Brung' for the public, was kool, this purple bike stalled it was brilliant because he went round for the 2nd time an did it again =P idiot. Went for music, first band was really kool, it was Breed 77, they ddnt get the crowed as psyched but they had mondo energy and were brilliant, also the did a marage proposal 1/2 way through their set which was sweet in a biker kind of way. Skipped the next band and caught Pitshifter, they were also brilliant, another crowed pleasing band, again nit as much as the 'Dred but still, started really well "Lets not fuck around" and right into the song, brilliant. We Then went to watch the fire works and we sat in a empty part, as the fire works were going off hot emberes were falling right onto us, fucking hurt like a bitch, it was like being in 'Nam =P so didnt see much, to busy cowering lol. But mandi got it on vid w/ all the back ground "ow" "fuck" "SHIT!!" "its in my eye!!" lolwas funny. All day we were trying to figue out who the special guest would be, but when we got there it said Dogs D'Amour so we thought it was a fake name, turns out it wasnt, the special guest couldnt make it because of the airplane bomb threats in the USA (so we kinda thought it might be Fun Loving Criminals) Dogs D'Amour sucked balls and i have never seen a tent empty as qucikly as w/ that pile of shit band lol, went back to the tent, had a lil grub and fell alseep Sun Woke u to find shit loads of ash in the rim of my hat lol. Packed up the tent in recored time and we were ready to go by 1:20, got to little chef for lunch by like 2:00 we were in there for 1 hour and 40 mins, moslt waiting, i finished my english breakfast in like under 2mins lol i was so hungry. Got home and went to bed to watcha movie. Brilliant Bulldog bash, thank you Hells Angles
