Sherwood Pines Forest Park, Edwinstowe, Notts, UK - Sunday 6th July, 2003

There were rumours that Hawkwind were gonna be the support but it turned out to be Todd Campbell's band 'Psycho Squad' - yes that is Phil Campbell's son if you happen to be wondering out there in surf-land. The last time I saw these guys was at Nottingham Rock City in 2001 and by jesus - they've improved ten-fold. Campbell Junior holds the dry sense of humour of his dad and they even play a song of theirs which they say is about one of their hero's 'Harold Bishop' (they can only mean that fa,t old, glasses wearing dude on 'Neighbours'). Todd got us to boo at Nu-metal because as he said himself - 'it's sh*t' and they all wear clothes like what he's got on this afternoon!!; ask us who prefers food to sex or vice-versa - which appeared to be a tie!! Musically they are kind of like modern stoner turned kinda metally punk band with highlights in the set being 'Dressed like you'; 'Stop messing with me' and a cover of The Sex Pistols ' Pretty Vacant' which saw Lemmy take to the back of the stage behind the Marshall speaker stack for a quick glance. Great set lads - pity it was only about 45 mins but you can't take the limelight from Lemmy can you?
