I love Rock music and I go to gigs as much as I can, and then a bit more...usually see a couple of gigs a week on average! I love to travel & see new places, although I have fallen in love with Canada, & will deffo be going back in the future. I love design, I couldn't picture myself doing any other job, although if I could combine design and music, I would be in heaven! I'm also a bit of a film lover, I may as well have my very own lending library here, my dvd's seem to get everywhere! Especially my 24 box sets!
I'd like to meet:
Nikki Sixx...in fact, all of the Crue...
James Dean (might be tough)
Andy Kauffman (depends if he really is dead or not)
Johnny Depp (who wouldnt!)
Jerry Cantrell and James Hetfield, but I wouldn't know what to say even if I did!
Keifer Sutherland, Keifer Sutherland Keifer Sutherland!
People who love music as much as I do, people with a passion for life, people who want to meet new people!

Breed77 are one of my fave bands... so far I have seen them 31 times, I know it's a lot, but if you like them...then why not! It's nowhere near enough! Fantastic band, especially live (duh).
I'm loving ProtoAngel... www.protoangel.com, check out their stuff... fantastic live, fantastic recorded, stunning voice and stunning tunes... the e.p is out now!! Love you guys too! :D
I will also admit I have recently regressed to being a teenager after going to see Take That last summer!! Twice!!!
I also spent 2 1/2 hours before managing to get hold of tickets for their tour this december... am still in love with Mark Owen after all these years!!!
Rocco Deluca and the Burden are also constantly on my stereo at the moment, I am in awe of that band, they give me goose bumps, and they are the lovliest, most humble band I have met in a long time! I'm lucky to have seen them 4 times already, but come back here again please!
Aerosmith at Hyde Park this summer was amazing... (especially as they were supported by the lovely Mr Chris Cornell...I manage to see him 5 times this year! It's never enough... ) I knew that after spending $700 on planes, trains and automobiles to see Aerosmith and Motley Crue in Chicago last year, they would come back to the UK! Am not complaining though...one of the best gigs I have EVER been to!
Juliette and the Licks; great band, great sound. She is beautiful & mesmerizing, amazing albums, go see her live! (Took this picture at ULU in 2006.)
Am loving this pic of Jonny Rocker. I took this at the Sugarmill in Stoke. These guys are so good live, Check out Heaven's Basement... my tip for 2008!
I go to more gigs than I can afford, so far this year I have seen I have seen Breed 77, Marner Brown, Zen Motel (and again), NIN (oh my word!– intense), ProtoAngel (times a few...), Towers of London, Aerosmith, Velvet Revolver, Motley Crue, Download Festival, The Mexicolas, Hinder, Rod Stewart, Marner Brown, Hinder, Black Stone Cherry, Proud Mary (Greg, you rock, love you honey), Incubus, 30 Seconds To Mars, Proud Mary, CJ & The Satellites, Breed 77, Chris Cornell was absolutely amazing... what a cracking gig... fantastic set, he looked stunning...! And I must thank the boys I was with for actually letting me say that numerous times without yelling at me... I thought I would have to keep the drooling under control being the only girl!
Coming up though, I am seeing Breed 77, The Eagles, Velvet Revolver, Nick Cave, Vast, Greg Griffin, Russell Brand, Heaven's Basement... although I am sure many more will be added to that!Managed to see Lenny Kravitz at the Koko and the Mexicolas last week... Ace, absolutely brilliant...
Said beautifully by Edward Monkton:
Movies:
I love films, all sorts, no one style. Amongst (many!) others; Napoleon Dynamite, Garden State, Finding Neverland, Labryinth, Die Hard, Monty Python (all of, but fave is Holy Grail!), Harry Potter, LOTR, Lost Boys, Dirty Dancing, Muppet Christmas Carol, Rear Window, Bridget Jones, Love Actually, Under the Tuscan Sun, The Pianist, Mystic River, All (3) of James Dean's films and pretty much anything with Johnny Depp!
And about a million more ....
Television:
The Mighty Boosh... I'm addicted... Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, The IT Crowd, 24... I like watching things on DVD, ass and when I want to, rather than sitting in front of the tv watching crap!
Books:
I like my rock biographies, The Dirt - amazing, however much of it is true! Can't wait for the film! Tommyland, Marilyn Manson, Anthony Keidis among others. I love Paulo Coehlo, his books deffo make you reflect on things a lot. I'm into my classics as well, books I think I should read and then am pleasantly surprised about! On the road by Jack Keroac. Anything by Hunter S Thompson but especially Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Hells Angels. George Orwell, Animal Farm, Down and Out in Paris and London, 1984. I am trying to read a lot of books about Che Guevara, just to see if I really do agree with the fact his image seems to be on everything & if you are interested, am not sure I do agree with it, but I won't start debating it here! If I'm looking for light reading, I love Jane Green books, Jemima J is fantastic. Also love Harlan Coben. I love my books, I get through so many. I could go on and on! Any recommendations, I would love to hear them! Especially if they are currently on offer anywhere ...AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR HARRY POTTER!!!!
Heroes:
Anyone who is happy with who they are, loves what they do and isn't scared to try their damndest to fulfill their dreams. Basically people who are everything I want to be!
