Lucky you, I was lucky enough to catch Audioslave at Brixton a few years back and Chris Cornell has a great voice. I would love to have seen Soundgarden, hopefully they will do a gig or two in the UK.

Wowser. That's a blast from the past.

No doubt be full of thirty something blokes who are too aged and weary to mosh.

And that's just on the stage... (badum tsh!)
 
My American friend wants me to go to this. How does it compare to English festivals?
