It came out in a few different ways/versions. One was even officially licensed (this British one is not).

It's all about stuff like Puck Monster.

Really wanna make time to play this... maybe a Jan/Feb thing, when it's a bit quieter(?)

Nah Limp Bizkit played - Reading, at least. Sun was shining and they had confetti cannons.

My wife's cousin came out of RATM with half a tooth, when he'd gone into the mosh with a whole one.

It was a packed bill for sure. I remember RATM directly followed by Slipknot as there was a noticeable change in the crowd at the front, as the older folks made way for the kids.

A fine choice (tho in this exact situation right now, I've gone Slowdive).

Tbf that was starting to happen when I was still at it in 2013. Assume it's always the norm. Was always nice to get sent the Proper Record. (I seem to still be on some music mailing lists, so I get the occasional interesting advance stream... not that I can do owt with it.)
