Sonisphere UK, 2010. #onthisday in 2010 Knebworth opened its gates to another weekend of metal. Rammstein. Iron Maiden. Skindred. Skunk Anansie. Earthtone9. Turbowolf. 65daysofstatic. Fear Factory. Black Spiders. This was the first time I saw Iron Maiden, and while I love them now, I wasn't into it then. For me, some bands strike at just the right moment - but July 2010 wasn't it for me. It was also my initiation into Rammstein's fire-some live show. Industrial sparks. Mechanical podiums. Keyboardist Christian Lorenz surfing the crowd in a dinghy. Skindred were as ever a highlight: just an incredible energy and absolute masters of putting on a performance. Looking back at the lineup there are other bands I would now kill to see but missed back then - Gallows, with Frank Carter at the head, is the one that stands out! WERE YOU THERE? Is that you in the blue morph suit?! #iwasthere #gigdiaries #sonisphere2010 (at Knebworth Events) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgonZonDGI5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
