Ozzy bars are Evil

First, there was travel to Barnsley, followed by MUSIC! RAWK! Then i travelled down to london. to go to the BIG DAY OUT @ the walkabout in sheps bush.






It was a day of tribute acts, including my new friends Guns2Roses. Started off with some bad band covering greenday, but i never saw them. Then after a well long wait, The prodigy came out, and the sound was sound was pretty bad, but then! SHOCK they had a white guy as Maxim, and if that wasnt enough to get your head around, he was wearing a dress rather than a kilt! Below is the facial reaction of this from me and Tom.


As the night went on, and there was some pretty impressive dancing from me and tom at the front for G2R, after having to wait for 1 MILLION years for a burger! Anyway, once they;d finnished, there was Hells Bells and AC/DC band who were really fookin good, and then the four fighters, who were ok. Then it was time to leave, as i walked down the stairs, i got punched in the face by a dude. NOT FUN, then i had a drink thrown on me by that guys mate, then i got dragged out the club by a bouncer calling me a trouble maker! Anwaym what i wasnt aware of is that i was in the company of the LEGEND that is GARRRRRRRRY!!! who i'd heard lots about, from K@! That evening i think every person i was hanging out with was completely awesome, which is rare there's usually at least one asshole.



Londonshire

Travelled to london to hang out with my little friend Tatiana (www.myspace.com/tat) She can eat more meat than anyone i've ever seen! not one drop was left. She was awesome enough to let me have a sneeky listen to a few tracks from TAT's new album. I have to say i'm very excited! Theres some amazing riffage, and awesome vocal parts!





The Following day, i went down to Brixton to watch Avenged Sevenfold with Mr Crash. It was awesome, he managed to clear a whole circle and danced through the whole set. There was no anna dancing due to broken ribness.


M Club!

So, we finally got a chance to try out some of the new tracks, and they worked well! Since we've not done in show in almost 2 months, i didn't realise how psyically unfit i'd become. So when i started bouncing around the stage as normal, and also off the amp., .. when i came offstage, my chest was killing me. I could hardly breathe.






(Few days later went for an x-ray, and they told me i fractured my rib, OUCHO!)


After the show, we invited a few people back for drinks. Owen and his friend came which was well awesome! Lewis and scott, also came over ... and oh yeah .. as always ...


K@ was pissed!

I.S & G 2 R

We all went out together, to see our friends band Idle Silver, who were supporting Guns2Roses. We were all broke, so there was very little drinking to be done! After months and months of saying i'd go see Idle, i finally made it, and i have to say.. i was VERY impressed, they're really good! Energetic, charismatic, and fuckin rawkin. I was especially a fan of the double kick. YAR! It was so good infact that me and the keyboard player from G2R took over the dancefloor and it turned out, he's as mental at dancing as me, maybe more. So im gonna have to work on that!




After Idle, Guns2Roses played, and they were well impressive, playing some tunes i havnt heard in sooo long, maybe since i was a kid. i definately forgot how good a song civil war is.


After the show was over, we invted everyone back to ours, since it wasnt too far, where there was much crazynes and drunkness to be had by nearly all.


Here Davey Crash points out that not only does Geos have "Lady period" on his face, he also looks remarkably like the singer from Coheed. All in all random, and awesome Evening!

All quiet on the west-midland front

Over the last month or so, we've all been having much fun, and also, we've been working our asses off recording, and writing songs. New year was pretty disapointing, so we had New years II Which was much more fun ... Beka, K@ & Scott came over.. K@ ended up the same as usual!





When we'd finnished mixing, we met up with K@ in Luton, and went out to this club, i think luton may be the home to the ugliest selection of humans in the country (until i went to barnsley) There was much fun, and of cause more drinking.



I also got a new tattoo while i was in london, its from Fifth Element! I've wanted it for ages.



Here's me in the studio, oh yeah! i can change my own strings i'll have you know!
