Kerrang! Tour

Yesterday I went to see In Case of Fire, Blacktide, Dir En Grey, Bring Me The Horizon and Mindless Self Indulgence at Leeds Academy. Me, Lenne and Becky waited outside the venue for eight hours... thats about 10 till 6!! I was SOOOO fucking cold but we had to wait in order to be at the front cuz some people following the tour were camping out there. I would like to take this chance to apologise to Becky and Lenne for my persistent complaints of being cold and my continuous requests for the time. However, we had a laugh ("Trolley's housers"... "my cum is bold".... Alan, Helena etc lol) and as we made regular trips to Morrison's nearby, we concluded that noone in Leeds ever needs to piss. During the concert I decided that Ollie Sykes was way too fit to be allowed, and Mindless Self Indulgence is the best band ever. I got kicked in the head by crowd surfers and I have bruises on my knees from being pressed into the barrier. I now have a neck ache as well because I headbanged perhaps a little TOO vigourously. I got Jimmy's autograph and I got a picture with Steve and I cuddled him (you couldn't NOT cuddle Steve!) even though he was dripping with sweat and I concluded at the end of the night that I was soaked, not with MY sweat because I for one felt to be at a comfortable temperature all night, but with everyone elses. EWW! So yeahh.... Becky, Lenne and I stumbled out of the smelly venue and recieved free Dir En Grey CD's (whoopee-fucking-doo :P ) before hitching a lift with my dad and brother. Today I woke up disgruntled and in a lot of pain. Great. Worth it though!

  1. What were Black Tide like ? I loved their old school thrash debut album. I saw last year's Kerrang tour with Conheed & Cambria, Fightstar etc. I didn't go to this years as the line up didn't appeal so much.
