“I’d sprayed a graffito onto one of their hoardings; it was for Monsters of Rock, and I’d sprayed ‘In Church Hall if wet’”
So… what do we know about Monsters of Rock?

Castle Donington. Frequently wet. No church-hall-related details on posters. Not many dead.
In 2008, the second day of the Monsters of Rock festival at Zaragoza, Spain, was cancelled due to rain.

I met a chap once at the Derby Royal Infirmary, who got struck by lightning at Monsters of Rock whilst holding a long metal flagpole with a Maiden flag on it.
Well, he reckoned he did anyway.
It’s Download now of course.

Did the first three, First one was very good, Saxon, Scorps and Priest were excellent, Rainbow were all right, but not my cup of tea. Next year was very wet, AC/DC topped the bill, with Whitesnake and the appallingly bad Blue Oyster Cult whose drummer was arrested pre-gig and the drum roadie played the gig…..play one the drummer knows, Slade were good though, 1982 was absolute shite.

@G100 and I’m going, and I’ll be the only one there wearing a 90 Bisodol shirt.

@SCHOON, you may well be. Although I wore my Achtung Bono T-shirt to Sonisphere in 2014, so you are not alone in your efforts.

More like the hobbits of rock, but I always wear a DPAK to at least one session of the Cambridge Folk Festival, just because the number of acknowledgements I get never ceases to amaze me.

Was there in ’87 and ’88, both years were rather like a re-enactment of the battle of Passchendaele – “Singing Sealed Knot society, let’s see you do this one…”. Bon Jovi (’87 headliners) were outdone by their own firework display!

@CTSO, I got an ‘are they still going?’ whilst wearing the Achtung Bono shirt at Disneyland Paris once.
