I actually got into Leeds Festival with a My Vitriol artists pass many years ago and had people asking for my autograph... which kind of made me smile as I am not sure any of the band look remotely like me!! are they still going? Remember they were touted as something special around the time Coldplay, Muse, JJ72 were doing the rounds.
There playing a gig in London in May(?) but they havent released any material since 2008 and the only have album they released came out in 2000 so they are a strange act!

Seen too many decent support acts to mention, but the worst must be those who backed Metallica a few years back at the MEN.
The Sword, stereotype heavy rock band. 2 verses, mind numbing 5 minute guitars followed by 3rd verse. Think Spinal Type with guitar stance. Next up, Machinehead, whose set consisted of song, yo Manchester, song, yo motherf$$$$$$s, yo ......ad nauseum. Thankfully, Metallica were a wonderful surprise.

Just remembered a great support act Bob Log III. Supported Franz Ferdinand in Bradford in around 2005. Also The Kills supported that night so overall a good night. Not sure how that slipped my mind
