Naaaah, you guys are mint. And this is coming from a full on dnb/house music festival raver. You’ve now fully sold me on this festival, bonus points for limp bizkit and pendulum footage. My GF is metal at heart and allowed me to corrupt her enough to do a few creamfields with me (this year will be year number 15 at creamfields for me - I live just down the road, rude not to n all that) - she’s gonna adore this festival! Looks like you guys had an amazing time and I’m not clued into avenged at all but it sounds like their set at download was awful too Me and my GF are skipping on all festivals next year for vegas 2026 for my 40th but 2027 we need to do a full on dnb festival (hospitality on the beach) and this in the same year Wholesome content. Your crew are amazing. What a really good watch 👏👏👏
New subscriber here and subscribed by the time you got in the non existent queue!! You guys are a wholesome group. Avid TPD TV fan and you guys got a totally different but equally awesome vibe and I love it! Can’t wait to rinse the rest of the channel. Hope you had a great time, time for me to watch and find out!!
I totally agree with you guys! This year was my first time at Graspop and even my first dedicated Metal festival ever. I am looking forward to next year so hard! Everything was organized perfectly, staff was so nice and friendly, I loved it so much!
@Guitarbroski13 We're all just kindred spirits navigating the world of vlogging within the metal niche 😁 Luckily we were camped by the path so could just yell "Biiiilllyyyyyy!!" 😆 - Claire
We did Wacken last year. Drove all the way from Hinckley. Got 20 mins away and heard they weren't allowing anyone else on site due to the weather... Fackin well turned up anyway and they let us in😁. Thirty thousand others were not as fortunate. The whole weekend was hard work, but it was worth it.
@rogerhutchins9883 Damn, you guys got lucky! I guess the staff were probably overwhelmed too so they just thought, fuck it. Wacken looked insane last year. Wasn't the capacity reduced by a huuuugge amount in the end? - Claire
@@MeadandMetal think they were 30/35 K down on the expected attendance. Mind you, I was stood watching Maiden and looked around me wondering how they would've managed to squeeze them in if they'd been allowed on site, coz the place was heaving.
I have been waiting so patiently for this vlog! You guys always look like you're having so much fun and I wished I was there with you! Can't wait to party with you at bloodstock! Btw I'm pretty sure you can get a 2L carton of cider/beer at Bloodstock at the Sophie Lancaster bar
Thanks so much for watching!! Yeeee come say henlo at BOA! And come to think of it, you're right about the 2 L cartons 😮 Gotta remember that 😄 - Claire
Guys this video is epic! It's a perfect light hearted honest festival review, with the perfect mix of humour, mates, facts, opinions and drinking shizz! It was a pleasure misbehaving with you all! 🤘🏻😎🖤
@billymayhem Thanks so much dude! It was an absolute pleasure hanging with you guys! Looking forward to Bloodstock for some more Mead and Mayhem 🖤✊️ - Claire
I love watching your vlogs. I watch tpd, Billy ect but yours actually makes me smile. Honestly, such a wholesome channel, I love it. Much love and respect 🤘
Great video guys and much respect for hanging in there for the duration. I never realised Ben was such a Rain God. Please ask him not to invoke the same incantation at Bloodstock. Two thoughts: (1) Tommy joining Tobi for "Dying for an Angel" is almost as cool as Klaus joining Tobi for "Dying for an Angel". I like Eric, of course but...damn...Not jealous at all. Much... (2) Did Claire really walk past an DT Empath t-shirt and not purchase it for me...? (For the record, I have two DT t-shirts. I have enough DT t-shirts...said nobody ever... Love this and congratulations on surpassing your 2k subscription target. See you guys at Bloodstock...
It was nice meeting you guys, a few more recommendations of Belgian bands that played GMM in the past... In-quest, Bliksem, Leave Scars. Hope to see you next year.
Thanks mate! Same here...the post fest blues are REAL. Was great to meet you guys! Counting down the days until BOA. There'll be a soggy dorito with your name on it 😆 - Claire
So glad you all had a great time. Me and my partner Ben have been thinking about doing a European fest for a while and this just makes me think it's a good idea.
@@jenniferfair280 Honestly, we couldn't recommend it more! You don't realise how screwed over we get (assuming you're UK based) until you go to a European fest 😆🙈 - Claire
@MeadandMetal yeah UK based. Download Vet and have done Bloodstock a fair few time. We plan to switch to Bloodstock properly as this is defo our last full Download for a while at least. But defo looking at the European fests. 🙂 Thank you.
Epic vlog I'm in the north west UK Graspop was my first festival when I was 17 in 2009 and went 2010 and 2011 afterwards. I met some amazing people and had a great time every year glad you both loved it great vlog 🤘
Whoooo new video Lets goooo!!! Glad you had such a great time at Graspop! You've inspired me to sign up as volunteer at Bloodstock as the moment I got back from Download!! Going to try and get the gift I'm making for you ready by then :P
New Subscriber here -- from Oz land!!! I'm looking at going to Europe for some Metal festivals. These vids are killer! Why the rain tho??? I thought it was summer!
I saw you on the campsite on thursday, but it was in early morning near the toilets and I thought: nah this is not the time to go say hi 😂 but I didn't see you again afterwards
Thank you for this funny vid. Its a pitty that I do not meat you on Saturday when I was there (i ve been at GMM only for one day) But your vid shows a lot what I ve not seen - especially RAIN 😂 Stay hard
You can get 4 pinters (milk bottles) at cropedy festival been going there for 30 years it’s great (not black metal etc, but rock n folk type shit) only 20,000 peeps but in one field with the bar running half of one side of field. greta video! ;)
We've done Wacken and Hellfest in recent years (Hellfest is another level of awesome) and Grasspop will hopefully be next. I'm sure you'll agree that none of our UK festivals,even our beloved Bloodstock, can hold a candle to European gatherings. I stopped doing Crapload after 2012 as I'd had enough of being treated like a c**t...which is sad as i had some mega times there. Done the odd day there since and it never improves. Anyway, soon be Bloodstock 🤘🤘
