Wed 13 Jun – Megadeth, Priestess

Forgive me if through this I compare it to the last time I saw Megadeth live in February 2005. It's the only thing I have to compare it to. =]

I almost completely forgot about this gig until I was reminded that I had one extra ticket, but no-one to go with. With seemingly everyone not coming due to exams and all this jazz, then the person who seemed like they were gonna join me telling me 24 hours before that they wouldn't make it because they were ill, I thought I was gonna…

Sat 31 Mar – ProgPower UK

Amazingly, ProgPower would be the first gig I've attended in 3 months. With the great news of Megadeth in June, and Heaven and Hell with Iced Earth in November, I was on a high then I remembered…ProgPower tomorrow!

After a late night being a taxi service the night before, I was half asleep before we got in the car and made our way to the venue. The Centaur looked impressive, and inside, it was even more so. The staff were warm and friendly, it was clean and even the security staff were smiling. Where…

Mon 11 Dec – Iron Maiden, Trivium, Lauren Harris
Having ordered my tickets whay back in March, this was going to be a gig which I thought would be an anti-climax. I'd hyped it up so much that I thought it couldn't reach my high expectations. This Iron F'N Maiden for God's sake, only like, one of the founding fathers of heavy metal and still one of the greatest bands ever.
I was wrong. Holy crap. Having got outside the CIA by 5:45, the queue was still pretty long. Entertainment was provided by James annoying the touts. Tout goes "Spare…

Christ, time flies. Last time I went to a gig like this was Trivium in March, and I'll soon be seeing them again (Roll on Iron Maiden next week baby!), but last night I saw DragonForce for the second time. I saw them the first time they played the Uni, in the much smaller Solus inside the Student Union, but much better ticket demand saw the gig moved from the Coal Exchange to the Great Hall @ the Uni.

Having queued for about 45 minutes and seeing all the metalcore and emo kids there, we finally got in. The merch…

Seems like a while since I last did one of these kiddos. Well, a lot has happened in my life lately, I really don't know where to begin!
Let's start with the two gatherings I held at my house, both pre and post-Results Night. Both of which were a huge success and finally showed that if my parents were OK with it, we could have a great night in my awesome house. Having lived in what could best be described as a shed in Brackla, I'm so proud of my house and my parents and I love to have people…

I understand everyone hates these on this site, but I'm going to do one so I can get my thoughts down…

I haven't posted blog entries on successive days in a long while humanoids, so you are blessed. *WARNING*, the main body of this blog entry will be a rant against something I read today. I'll get to that later on.
The customary, "how was your day" bit will begin and end here: same old stuff in school, lots of good revision done in German and Computing, renewing my belief I can prove a few teachers wrong with my exam results (eg. Slimey Steve). Lunch time was a good laugh, although having to be the father of everyone when the thunder…

This is gonna be a shorter than usual entry humanoids because I just have a few things on my mind I wanna get off my chest and into your waiting hands to discuss and comment upon. I also have to say Jeffers's accusations of my blogs taking three coffee breaks to read through. You love them really. It gives you something to do when you're as bored as I am writing them.

Today, school once again proved that there is one set of rules for Jocks and a set of rules for everybody else. I'm fucking sick of it. No…
