Was playing at Knebworth a special moment?
“There’s a bit of prestige with Knebworth, isn’t there? It felt like we were at one of these great, prestigious events and gatecrashing the party! We couldn’t believe they’d actually had the balls to ask us to play. To be honest, we don’t get a lot of these offers, especially metal festivals, so we thought, ‘Right, we’d better not fuck this up’. I had a great time the next day, watching Nine Inch Nails… they absolutely Etch-A-Sketched my brain, it just erased everything. I’ve never seen anything so amazing. Alice In Chains took me by surprise completely. I was quietly cynical but they absolutely bent my head, they were just incredible. I watched Mastodon too, but I think that was it. I tried to watch Rolo Tomassi but I’d just finished the gig and I was absolutely brain dead. The last thing I wanted to watch was Rolo Tomassi, even though I totally, utterly love them. I couldn’t handle it!
