...hmm...i wonder why...right off to argos to buy some weights!!!

I wasn't as blown away as I was hoping, and they did the best they could on rock cities piddly little stage, i think a band that extravagant and axe widdly should be put on a bigger stage, and given some Iron Maiden style showmanship....but for a paired down, big amps and some shitty old lights type of affair they were fucking awesome!!

Bloodsimple....
A good support band, after the shoddy debacle odf whoever were suypporting first, they seemed to ashamed to give out their name.... anyway...bloodsimple, New York style hardcore/metalcore/grindcore/applecore.... anyway...here is their Myspace Blood Simple, i personally like blood in blood out...

More good....don't worry the funny bad stuff isn't far away....
Carolines septum is looking hotter and hotter the more I get used to it, and last night she was showing it off with her new underwear that looked very lovely!!!

and finally for the good....

I cleared the fucking Ironing Pile!!!! (if you have ever been to our flat, you know just how bad it was, seriously, it was taller than caroline, i know she is a short arse, but thats still a fuck load or ironing!!!)


The Bad

The first support group at gigs....whenever a biggish band has more than one carefully selected support band, there is always the one at the start no ones heard of....and there is normally a good reason why...they are always Shit!!!! is this some weird karma/rule of the universe type thing?...i dunno....but you know who you are....I am all for supporting local bands and stuff, but you know, not when your rubbish...lol

still a major gripe 14+ gigs.....when did they start letting kidfs in...why oh why....when I was 14 I had to make myself look older, and go through the fear of whether I had wasted my money on a ticket....damn them!!! but nowadays your allowed in....there was even a room down stairs open just for parents to sit and have a drink in!!!! FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!!!! one of them had a copy of the daily mail doing the bloody crossword!!!! ITS NOT A FUCKING TAKE THAT CONCERT!!!!! grr!!!
the other downsie....I can no longer look at girls at gigs without a pang of guilt and fear of prison/hell!!! its so hard to tell anymore!!! however....

THe UGLY!!!

god the crowd was weird, bar from caroline, a few other girls and a couple of barmaids, it was a very weird and ugly looking crowd...lol....it was however fun playing thwe Boy or Girl game.....as in, is that 16yr Old emo boy, or a 50yr old mum on jeremy kyle...they have the same hair!!!! like this guy...


see he has the hair of either a young emo boy, or a trashy mum on Jeremy Kyle (like jerry spinger, but more objectionable)....anyway...wjhy I am on the subject, his drumming is ugly...technically sound, but soulless and dead inside...take the headphones off, and play to the music/band not a fucking metronome, and you can move your arms when you drum, you can get a little loose and do some serious rocking, rather, than some weird restrained beatles style drumming, rather than getting all keith moon over your kit!!!

la....sorry, I am panging to get back on my drum kit....lol.....but you should drum like this....


damn him, I just realised he is wearing headphones, but least you can see him moving...

anyway!!!

A great night, and if your off to see them, you will love it!!! (buit you can afford to miss the first band, and look at the guitarist andd singers...lol) and I am sure you will get a better looking crowd....cos nottingham is pretty ugly on the whole...lol

anyway, off to do some more ironing, post some shit, and buy some weights!!!

Hope you all have a good weekend!!
