Went up to Manchester for Hinder today. On the train ride up I was surrounded by 3 women who reminded me of Sex and the City. (all lawyers and yes one of them was exactly like the Kim Cattrall character.) Once two/thirds of the group left the train chatted to one remaining who told me how her and her husband were right into their music. She had even seen Pantera and Sepultura to my amazement!! It was very refreshing as most people don't even look at each other on a 2 hour train ride let alone have a conversation.

Got to the show and did the opening act Black Stone Cherry who were great. Maybe my patience level is low. But when you have done loads with a band and then someone tells you can't do something that is usually a given it makes you want to pack and go. Well, you really can't beat chilling in a nice hotel room watching the latest episode of 24!

Here's the "money" shot of Hinder that's in tomorrow's Kerrang!
