Some people feel content pouring syrup on shit and calling it pancakes their whole lives.

Sonisphere festival has been cancelled this year, sounds like there was some drama at the top level with the organisers. It looks like the company behind it, Kili Live - who book quite a lot of UK tours for bands, might be a bit fucked.
Shame really, the Sunday looked ace.

Been offered a ticket to see Shearwater last week. I quite like their latest album. Anyone know if they're any cop live?
How did we get from the Blue Lamp Disco to cracking up in San Francisco?

Kill Live?
Don't you mean Kilimanjaro?
Not sure about drama - think it was just a money problem. They couldn't sell enough tickets to put on an event of the quality they felt they had to give. Shame, I think there's room in this country for two major rock festivals (Reading/Leeds and Glastonbury are too eclectic to be called rock festivals iyam). I'm not aware of the European Sonispheres being canceled actually, and they're big festivals themselves.
The Soni line-up wasn't that bad, albeit one that didn't personally do enough for me (Refused and one or two others aside). They made announcements far too late - Download had already announced most of their big names by the time Soni had started promoting its wares. And with a line-up as impressive as Download's, Soni was always going to struggle. The cynic in me thought it looked a bit desperate that they were booking artists to exclusivity deals and/or full album sets (Mastodon, Glassjaw, Hundred Reasons).
Not to mention a lot of people aren't enthused by 'Queen' being fronted by someone who isn't Freddie Mercury and is an American Idol singer.
