About Me

I'm a whole mixture of things that don't go together, but I'm okay with it. I'm a metaller and a car nut and that's just who I am. I finished my degree ages ago but I'm still doing the same job I had before *sighs*, which is a source of constant frustration, but at weekends I'm often found in the moshpit making a drunken fool of myself, which sort of balances it out.
I like cars, music, metal, playing guitar, double kick drums, having long hair, wearing black, being mistaken for a goth by those that don't know any better, screaming my head off to music that says 'I hate you' and generally being what everyone thinks I'm not. I'm a mosher, a nutter, a psycho, but best of all I'm me!!
I love music, go to Festivals and gigs when I can, play guitar, bass & sing, have been in a few bands but not currently envolved with any projects. I love driving, cars, and nights in my local alternative pub. I'm also a mini enthusiast so I tend to try and squeeze a few mini shows into the year too, as well as getting my hands dirty under the bonnet.
I'm into a massive range of different types of music, everything from classic rock bands right up to metalcore and emo, I'm willing to give most things a go.
I've got a group of the most amazing friends, many of which are on my myspace friends list, super cool people who I wouldn't change for the world.
I try as much as possible to not have any boundaries, I am who I am, and that's the way I like it. They say you can't like old metal and emo, they say you can't be into cars without being a chav.... I don't particularly care what they say. It's more important to be happy within yourself.
Bands I have seen live (although many of which at festivals)......
Loads of locals bands, and AC/DC, Aiden, ANJ, Artic Monkeys, As I Lay Dying, Babyshambles, Battle, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Blood Brothers, Blood Simple, Bon Jovi, Bowling for Soup, Bullet for my Valentine (x2), Chimaira, Cradle of Filth, The Darkness, The Deftones, Dinosaur Jr, Dragon Force, Dropkick Murphys, Evanescence, Foo Fighters, From Autumn to Ashes (x2), Funeral for a friend (x3), Gratitude, Green Day, Guns n Roses, Happylife, Hell Yeah, Hinder, Glenn Hughes, Iggy and the Stooges, Ill Nino, Incubus, Iron Maiden (x2), It Dies Today, Juliette and the licks, Killswitch Engage, Kitty Hudson (x3), Korn (x2), Kula Shaker, Linkin Park, Lizzards, The Lost Prophets, Lunarmile, Machine Head, Marilyn Manson (x2), Mastodon, Megadeth, Metallica, My Chemical Romance, NOFX, The Offspring, Papa Roach, Pixies, Placebo, The Queens of the Stoneage, Reuben, The Rifles, Rocket from the Crypt, Shadows Fall, Slayer, Stone Sour (x2), Terrorvision, Thrice, Thursday, Tool, Trivium, Turbo Negro, Velvet Revolver, The Wildhearts, and probaly some others I have forgotten.... like the soundtrack of our lives who Id rather forget!!
