Hahahahahaha!
Well it was like damn awesome! You were right Lazy, I have a lil buzz on my ears to make me company when I'm alone. Thankfully this kind of stuff is only once a year.
And yeah, tons of headbanging! My back hurts a bit, my feet hurts a bit, my leg hurts a bit and my voice is a little damaged.
Wow! I absolutely recommend this kind of stuff to everyone!
When I got tired of getting smashed in my place due to having tons of people (I was rather close to the stage) I thought well, If I'll have to keep pushing people for the rest of the night at least let's do so in proper conditions! So since I wasn't even able to jump on my old place I just went closer to the stage where everyone has a lot more space cause it is where everyone is moshing! Circle pit + Metallica = win! I was like ROFLCOPTER when at some point I noticed I was one of the rare guys wearing a white shirt in the circle pit! The circle pit is a lot of fun, for those who don't know, people form a circle, that can be bigger or smaller depending on the number of people participating, and then people just push each other in a not bad intentioned way (i.e., if someone falls to the floor he's quickly got up so that he doesn't get injured). The only smaller injury I got was a hit on my leg from a flying knee! Bastord! I think I made up for that with my shoulder charges and stuff. It's great fun to pass through the whole circle pit without getting a single touch.
Yeah, I know I'm a crazy bastord too

'' I'm on the age for that shiz tho haha
Regarding the bands acts, only Mastodon was a pure disgrace, they can hardly communicate with the people. Everything else was great fun. Even Slipknot was fun, their musics are crap but they manage to pull off a decent show. In the end of their show I was getting a bit bored cause I was getting tired of pushing people out of my way (my first place before going into the jungle was next to those bars that make a path of exit for those that wanna leave the show, so to avoid either having a small space to stand or to avoid getting crushed against the bars I had to send back people away more or less in the way Soccerman expels mexicans from his fence) and Slipknot's music is rather boring after a while.
Lamb of god was their first time in Portugal, and the wacko vocalist did a great job at stimulating the people, pretty good (you're never alone, WALK WITH ME IN HELL!). Machine Head was great as well (LET FREEDOM RING WITH THE SHOTGUN BLAST!). Metallica is hard to describe but with stuff like HOLY SHIZ. Just way too good, James is an awesome singer, dunno how he keeps it up with the age, and there are no words to describe the guitar players.
out!
