After making our first ever splash page at Download Festival 2009, we thought we’d do another with the inaugural Sonisphere Festival 2009. We’re here at Knebworth for two days and we’re going to be interviewing, photographing and generally just looking at bands all weekend. We’ll make stuff too. Come and look at it all.

Sonisphere Festival 2009 Press Conference part 1
—–
- Pink Eye from Fucked Up has revealed that he once wiped his arse on holy parchment. BLASPHEMER!
- Alien Ant Farm touched our cock and balls. For a few minutes. Sexytime.
- We saw Sonisphere Festival organiser, Stuart Galbraith dressed up as Ming The Merciless.
- John Bush was great on his return as frontman for Anthrax.
- We’ve been fed and watered this weekend by the most heavy metal sandwich stall in the world. Ever. Some old dears from the church are selling ham sandwiches and cake from a graveyard. Hell yes.
- Coheed & Cambria are stuck on a ferry two hours before they’re due onstage.
- Tony Iommi waved at us and asked how we were doing. We grinned and walked into a fence.
- We saw Taking Back Sunday’s Adam Lazarra being ‘helped’ back to his bus by some friends. His toes were dragging on the floor.
- We accidently stole Damian from Fucked Up’s Sharpie. We dished out some awesome knuckle tats with it, but we still feel bad.
- Phil Demmel (and the rest of Machine Head) spotted backstage. He hadn’t blacked out again or anything.
