Stone Sour, Brixton Academy, London

The Pretty Reckless were Pretty Shite. Stone Sour were decent enough.

Second show in a row where I’ve thought the sound at Brixton wasn’t as good as it should have been. Not sure if this is to do with our location or not in the venue. Personally I don’t think it is as we weren’t that far from where we stood for Papa Roach, although the pillars on the raised area to the side might have been the problem.

Nipped to the bar for a pint, some dude was there who was 50 pence short for his pints, you can’t leave a man dry at a gig so I funded his beers for the evening. He says “Thanks man, if you want any photos from the show then contact me”. I head back explain it to Kristina and show her the guys website.

To much amusement it turns out that I had just helped pay for the drinks of John McMurtrie, the official Iron Maiden photographer.
