Eric Martin of Mr. Big - still big after all these years!
“When you’re this big, they call you Mister” – one of my co-photographers at Sonisphere wore a shirt with that slogan, and I wasn’t sure if it would’ve been rude or a compliment to ask if he’d gotten it back when, well, maybe he wasn’t big enough to have been called “Mister”.
Paul Gilbert of Mr. Big as a good example for all of us: Protect your ears if you love music!
Mr. Big were unusually early on the bill and played in broad daylight, which posed its own challenges for us photographers: The main stage presented itself in said friendly hot sunlight – so much different from
last year, where
it rained so hard that people left a day early, missing the entire Big 4. From there, we’d run over to one of the other stages (inside), which probably, following the festival’s theme, shouldn’t have been named after space rockets but black holes. Trying not to forget to adjust any and all knobs you can find on your camera while on the way is a plus :)
