Muse: Smashing guitars

Not only is Matt Bellamy the frontman of one of the world's greatest rock bands, he's also a world record holder. Impressive, eh. What for? Smashing the most guitars on a tour - 140 in total - and it is also rumoured the band had to pay £150 per night to expense the inevitable climax. Oh and incidentally, Dom has allegedly been injured three times from having guitars thrown at him by Matt.

Robbie Williams: Feel

The video of the song «Feel» shoot took place in Calgary, Canada in September 2002, amongst the breath-taking scenery of the Rocky Mountains. Robbie had never ridden a horse before, but, as with many things, he proved to be a natural cowboy! This particular video shoot was one he enjoyed performing in most as he not only rode and bathed in the great outdoors, but he also got to play bingo with Daryl Hannah.

Sziget Festival

Following the end of the Communist era in 1989, the formerly lively summer festival scene in Budapest faced a crisis due to a sudden loss of governmental funding. A group of artists and rock enthusiasts proposed the Sziget event as a way to bridge this gap. The festival was started in 1993, originally called Diáksziget. This first event was organized by music fans in their spare time and ran well over budget, taking until 1997 to repay the losses. From 1996 to 2001 it was sponsored by Pepsi and renamed Pepsi Sziget. It has been called Sziget Fesztivál since 2002 and it is held every August in northern Budapest.

Led Zeppelin: The first album

Jimmy Page paid for the recording of their first album. He wanted artistic control “in a vise grip.” Recording and mixing lasted 30 hours and cost Page £1782 (or about $4300). The debut album ended up making over £3.5 million. While it only took 30 hours the first time, Led Zeppelin II was recorded over eight months, thanks to a lot of touring.

Holi

Holi is considered as one of the most revered and celebrated festivals of India and it is celebrated in almost every part of the country. It is also sometimes called as the “festival of love”, "festival of spring" and the "festival of colours" as on this day people get to unite together forgetting all resentments and all types of bad feeling towards each other.

On the Road to Woodstock (1969)

There was such a high volume of traffic that it took eight hours to drive the some 150 kilometers from New York City to Bethel. To reach the site, festival goers had to leave their cars behind and walk the last stretch — an average of 24 kilometers (15 miles) each on foot. Some of the performers had to be flown in by helicopter - as did over 500 kilos (1,100 pounds) of food.

On the band's first tour

Guns' Buick LeSabre broke down 105 miles outside Los Angeles. The band hitchhiked, riding much of the way with a semitrailer truck driver on speed. Starving and broke, the band members ate raw onions from a field, and played just one show in Seattle. The club owner refused to pay the band, coughing up $100 only after he was threatened.

Slane Festival

The 16th August 1981, the historical Slane Castle held its first ever open air rock concert. Slane Castle was quickly discovered as one of the best open air venues in the world. With the slopping grounds of Slane Castle its forms a natural amphitheatre which is ideal for concerts. The venue can hold as many as 80,000 to 110,000 and with the amazing backdrop of the river Boyne flowing alongside the castle, this is an impressive concert venue that promises not to disappoint.
