yeah lmao the circle's nearly full! and i'm from Brighton, but i live in the county. and that's the internet for ya hahah - i've only been on here for like, just under 2 years? so i'm pretty new to the social stuff on last.fm, so i haven't seen much here yet

If it helps and if you're on facebook I have a group I made and run with friends called Brighton Metal People, it's for local promoters, bands and anyone interested in the Brighton metal and hardcore scene! More or less every gig going on gets posted in there, even I probably wouldn't keep up with half of it without checking the page, feel free to join us :-)

Oh yeah bet, thanks! I'll check it out PS made a spelling mistake, meant to say "I'm not from brighton" i suck at phone typing lmaoo but i've been to a couple brighton concerts and hoping to go to more

Brighton, England, how about yourself?

Awesome dude! Is that Marty Friedman in your pic?

Oh and last night I saw Anvil in one of my town's smallest venues, I was right at the front and literally inches away from Lips, man they were on fuckin' fire, the new stuff is great too and I've been listening to it pretty much all day. Robb Reiner's drum solo was unreal as well, that dude is easily one of the best drummers in Metal period, I haven't seen a solo like that since I saw Vinnie Appice with Heaven & Hell in 2007. Check out "Anvil Robb Reiner Swing Thing" on youtube there's a few clips, dude's drumming sounds like a stampede, unreal stuff.

Dude, that's how I feel when I meet my favorite musicians at shows sometimes.. I just have some questions for them and then all of a sudden, they escape my mind and I'm speechless and shy lol. I would've felt the same way if I met Kerry King XD. Yeah, Cronos is fucking childish while his ex-bandmates are in a better version of Venom doing their own thing but still having evil lyrics and sick riffs like old Venom and have new ideas and it's fucking great. Okay, I'll check out those Onslaught releases then, thanks, mate!! I agree, fuck the 1k shit lmao. Bro, I'm so jealous that you got to see Anvil a couple nights ago and stand in the front inches away from Lips, that's awesome! I bet they were on fuckin' fire! To be honest, I haven't checked out their new stuff yet but heard great things about it. Yeah, Robb Reiner is an insane drummer and probably one of my favorite ones in Metal! I've always wanted to see Heaven & Hell, that's another thing I'm jealous of lol. Okay, I'll see that vid!

btw what do you think of Glenn Tipton being unable to tour with Judas Priest because of him being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease? I was going to go see them but I might not now because I love Glenn Tipton and I won't be able to see him because of his Parkinson's :(

I agree with you, mate, Onslaught's shit is fucking awesome! I also agree that they're the best British Thrash Metal band and Sy Keeler's vocals are great and keep improving on every record. Yeah, dude, I'm still pretty gutted over the fact that Parkinson's took Glenn's passion and livelihood away and he's one of the greatest Heavy Metal guitarists and subgenre pioneers ever! Indeed, it's fucking depressing! I don't think I can see Priest because of my fucking job but I really want to see them and so does my father who loves them to death! It also breaks my heart that tragic things happen to musical legends like Tipton and Malcolm Young's remaining years, it's so fucking sad, man! That's great, man, what kind of patches are you searching for and thinking of putting on your new jacket? :D. I actually want a denim jacket but I don't know how to sew lol :P

I've got quite a lot already but I'm currently trying to make a decision between a fuckin' awesome Candlemass patch and an equally fuckin' awesome Venom patch for a certain spot at the back. I can't fuckin sew for shit XD but my mum can so she gets to work on it like a boss :D I was hoping to get a few decent patches from Hardcore bands I like but they're fuckin' hard to come across! Trying to find a good Biohazard patch for example is a pain in the dick XD

That's awesome, bro, what patches have you gotten so far? :D. Maybe, you could get the Candlemass patch and the Venom patch lol :P. Perhaps, your mum could teach you how to sew if you think you're shit at it XD. I'm glad to hear that she knows how to do it like a fucking boss though :D. How is it hard to look for Hardcore patches? Why is it so hard to find a good Biohazard patch? XD Have you thought about getting some Black Metal patches? Sorry for asking so many questions, mate XD

Haha D666 are ten times the band Watain are, my brother loves Watain and if they did play here I'd get us tickets and I would go see them. I've seen the UK tour dates and sadly I can't make any :( good news though, Ingested have been announced for Mammothfest here so I'm stoked as hell. Sucks that a part of their show was ruined by whiney cunts! Lmao they must have been so confused when you said Maroon 5 were playing while everyone was probably there in teh queue with their long hair, Black Metal t-shirts, studded leather and patch jackets. Awh man you lucky soul, I've always wanted to go to the new Endland Metal & Hardcore fests! I've grown up seeing their line ups over the years and it always looks sick! I've never properly checked out Infant Annihilator, I've seen their name everywhere so I'm clearly missing out on some good shit! & lmao wear your most offensive one

Oh yeah I forgot to mention I saw Cancer Bats in a fuckin' pub the other week and got right at the front for the entire duration and pretty much shared the mic with the singer for pretty much every song haha and now I have tickets for Doyle in a shitty basement venue!

Yeah, D666 is so much better than Watain by a fucking lot! Watain was great live even though, I'm not crazy by their newer shit. You should definitely try to see them next time they're in the UK. How was Ingested's set at Mammothfest? Everyone was so confused when we said Maroon 5 was playing while everyone around the venue was clearly Black Metal fans lol. Someday, you and I are going to New England Metal & Hardcore fest just so you can experience it and it's going to be worth it even though the lineups nowadays kinda suck because there are more core bands than real Metal bands. Have you checked out Infant Annihilator yet? I'm so jealous that you got to see Cancer Bats and sing almost every song with the singer hahaha. How was the Doyle show? I'm not a big fan of his stuff or Misfits unfortunately :(
