What
Happened:Ìý Wind, wet and rain made the perfect conditions for Ayrshire rockers Biffy Clyro to storm onto the stage. Launching into 'Golden Rule' and taking no prisoners, lead singer Simon and bassist James threw themselves into being the true rock gods that they are. Playing 'Born On A Horse' from their latest 'Only Revolutions' album, the crowd joined in to clap, and with bikini / mud clad women on shoulders in the crowd, Simon remarked that they made the rain look sexy. 'God and Satan' followed, with the cameras simultaneously focusing in on the God tattoo verse on Simon's chest. After Simon did a solo acoustic performance on stage, the band went into the much anticipated rock anthem 'Mountains', and 'Many Of Horror' got the whole crowd singing along in unison with their arms up in the air. Simon gave kudos to the crowd for being hard by enduring the next to torrential conditions, and the trio hit their finale with 'The Captain' which got the revellers madly jumping, moshing and mud sliding.
Crazy in Love: When the crowd sang 'Many Of Horror' word for word alongside the band, it was a uniting experience for everyone involved, with front man Simon remarking that the singing was amazing.
99 Problems: Teenage girls at close proximity to my ears shouting at the top of their voices "We love you Simon!" may leave me with a hearing impairment, if the speakers don't get me first.
