   • Always a tricky one this, here's a small list from me
     
     Rammstein LG Arena - probably the best arena show I've ever witnessed.

     Yob, Sleep & Slayer - Ally Pally
     Saint Vitus - Academy 3
     Amenra - Damnation
     Testament - HMV Ritz
     Neds Atomic Dustbin - Wolves Civic

   • Meant to go to far more gigs this year than I did, laziness and being preoccupied with stuff mainly.
     
     Best ones though:
     
     Electric Wizard at the Forum in March - great to re-acquaint myself with them again and the projections were awesome
     
     Primordial at the Islington Academy - one of the most intense live bands around, just totally amazing
     
     Black Sabbath [well 3/4 of them], Soundgarden and Megadeth at Download on the Sunday. Sabbath were great, best time I've seen them with Ozzy. Soundgarden I was just amazed to witness as I didn't think they'd reform, and Megadeth are always good live even though I'm only a minor fan.

   • Sleep is my gig of the year i think, just so heavy
     
     Karma to burn at desert fest, awesome atmosphere and some boobs on stage!
     
     And as said above Primordial never even heard of them before the gig but they where brill at damnation
     
     Howard marks in Doncaster was interesting, probably the most low bro Q&A after his show ever.
     
     Spotted a few of you guys on my travels to which is always nice :-)

    • Roxette - Wembley Arena

    • Sleep - Leeds Stylus.
      This edged it over the Ally Pally for me due to the projections they had, even though Cisneros marched off stage in a tantrum over sound issues.
      
      Acid King/Saint Vitus - Manchester Academy.
      Pentagram - Manchester Academy.
      
      Hank Williams III - Manchester Academy.
      Played an hour of country and hellbilly, then 45 minutes of doom, then 45 minutes of his cattle callin' project, which is basically crazy thrash metal with random samples from cattle auctioneers looped over it. Definitely the hardest working musician I've seen in a long time. The evening was exhausting, but really fulfilling and it was great to see how many punk fans left during the doom set.

    • Seeing Black Magician at The Star & Garter in Manchester was also quite memorable. They supported Ides of Gemini, who were also very good.

    • Is it wrong that I think of literally a kids' conjurer when I read that band name?

      Someone definitely needs to form a band with a magician in it.

    • I saw The Avett Brothers last night. It was amazing.
      
      I didn't think they'd be able to play their music in an arena but they were unbelievably good.
