Bonnaroo Destroyed by the Sword
So I'm back from Bonnaroo, and it was magnificent the entire time.
I fully expected to have a huge write-up covering the entire festival, or better, from when I left my house to when I got back, since I was gone for eight days total. But I really don't feel like it, so I won't.
But I will say that the Sword was far and away the best show there. They played on the first night (Thursday) and everything was kind of downhill from there. Which is not to say that there weren't great shows, because there were, but nothing could touch the energy of the Sword. When the last note from Freya (the Sword's closing song) faded out and I turned around, I fully expected Bonnaroo to be gone. I braced myself and expected to see nothing but flame and rubble for a mile in all directions.
Metallica sucked it and I left their set four songs in. They completely phoned it in and couldn't care less that they were at Bonnaroo. Plus I'm surprised that they fit their egos through the front gate. Same goes for Kanye West, who started an hour and a half late (4:15am) so I missed him and went to bed.
