I went to an Arctic Monkeys show there in 2007. When I told my polish housemate that I'd walked there from wood green she told me it was impossible. I think she was confusing it was wood lane.
I went to see Slayer play there a few years ago. Got coked up off my tits before they hit the stage and went fucking mental in the pit - it was bloody fantastic. I still remember the circle pit during Raining Blood: The crowd was crammed so tight my feet barely touched the ground for most of that song. Oh and the shirtless skinhead meathead wankers who thought they could go around punching people in the face and get away with it. They lasted about three songs before everyone clocked on to what cunts they were and just stopped bothering to pick them up and started kicking them when they were down instead. Saw 2 of em leaving with blood gushing out of various parts of their faces to chants of 'nazi scum' and 'wanker'. I'm not really sure what they were expecting taking on a crowd comprised mostly of burly angry drunkards and mouthy women with very large boyfriends.
