666 : Liberation Day, Be Free of Your Phone Shackles!

This coming Tuesday all eyes will be on Manchester. Now we Mancunians will argue that the glare of the world is always on us (we were created on the eighth day after all), but this is different. This Tuesday, Ghost, the first metal band to break into the mainstream lexicon since Linkin Park, if not the mighty Metallica, will begin their latest global tour in the smaller of our two twenty-two thousand capacity arenas (told you we do it differently in Manchester). But the reason there will be such a focus on the show isn’t because the contents of the spectacular is currently a well-hidden enigma, it isn’t because they seem to have opted not to have a support act (À la Metallica circa Black album) and isn’t because, aside from the brill ‘Satanized’, all their new stuff is tantalisingly under wraps.

666 : Power Trip

Aside from humanity finding new depths to its innate ability to be horrendous to each other, the other thing that captured our imagination last weekend was Power Trip. It may have happened thousands of miles away, but we still felt compelled to talk about Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Guns n’ Roses, Tool and Metallica sharing the same billing. However, the conversation wasn't about what they played, it was about how much it cost to witness the whole thing.
