About Me

Hmm... never know what to put in these things...
Guess the easiest way to describe myself is that I'm a sarcastic, hairy old git who's well into his music, mostly metal although I like some other stuff too and drinks too much. I go to as many gigs as I possibly can, write for Powerplay magazine and www.musicxtra.net . I also used to do the door for Liverpool's sadly now defunct Whiplash club night and I was privileged enough to do the merch for the mighty Atheist at Hellfest 2007.
If you're going to add me and we don't already know each other please send me a message even if just to say "hi" first otherwise I'll just ignore your request - and that goes for bands too.

My Interests

My biggest interest is music, I've been into metal and goth since 1988 when I got into Iron Maiden and the Sisters Of Mercy at the tender age of 9 years old and since then it's been pretty much a one-way trip to hell! haha
My tastes are pretty broad and run from the aforementioned bands to Death, Suffocation, Epica, Thin Lizzy, Terrorizer, Lacuna Coil, Kreator, Atheist, Visceral Bleeding, Testament, Rotten Sound, Emperor, Celtic Frost etc etc...
I also like a fair bit of classical music (though I'm not knowledgeable about it at all) as well as a lot of the cheesy 70s and 80s music I grew up with... and the odd bit of stuff like The Cure and Depeche Mode...
Aside from music I like TV, films, books as well as having interests in art, football (Liverpool), history (particularly military history) and drinking - real ale, Guinness/Hydes Black, scrumpy/cider, vodka or red wine are my usual beverages of choice.

I'd like to meet:

Angelina Jolie (before she lost all that weight), Emily Booth or Kari Byron but that seems kind of unlikely!Like minded people I can talk to and share a pint or 5 with I guess... oh, and Brian Blessed.

Leave me a comment here. Or don't. Your choice.

The worst album ever...?

Don't ask me why but for the first time in years I decided to listen to Celtic Frost's "Cold Lake" just for a bit of a laugh really. Now I remember it being terrible, after all "Cold Lake" is now pret...
