About Me

It's all about the music, I'm in the best band in the world (only the worst at it), the band, the myth, the Leg-End X! You can here one of our oldest and dearests songs on my page. We do Weird Al style parodies too, our most recent one was I'm Not Emo (I Promise) to the tune of I'm Not Okay (I Promise)...well DUH!
I love going to festivals, mainly Truck Fest and Reading (not Leeds you nothern monkies!). I hate seeing bands being bottled off although the scale of the bottling at 50 Cent a couple of years ago was so funny I thought I would post this clip below, also note 50 Cent was throwing full bottles back at the crowd......G G G G G GUNIT!.. width="425" height="350" ..
I've just finished work at Aston Uni as the Vice President of Education and Welfare. Also last year I was on the National Postgraduate Committee, in charge of organising their annual conference. I now work for a company called Mott MacDonald in the field of geographical information systems, I'm a professional geek!
If this career doesn't work out I may go for the reachable dream of a roadie.
I'm the ring announcer for the wrestling federation AWW and will be moving into a mangers role hopefully soon.
I have a cool beard and long but that's all going soon as I have a job interview coming up.
I have a girlfriend called Keren who I love very much. This year is a bit sucky though as I'm not seeing her as much because she's doing a placement year in Slough.
God bless you all, he has helped me out loads!
P.S. Oh and just becasue I'm really sad and it makes a great intro to a set I can do the whole of the Napoleon Dynamite dance

My Interests

My band, check us out at http://members.lycos.co.uk/bestbandever or on My Space at www.myspace.com/legendx .I also enjoy writing for my student news paper as it gets me free CDs and into most gigs at the Academy in Brum.

I'd like to meet:

Open minded, chilled out, fun loving and Dave Grohl. I would also like to meet the Kersal Massive below.

Music:

I did have a long ass list but it did my head in. I have over 800 CDs (no copies, support the industry) so listing all of it would be stupid. I mainly like metal and punk taking in a lot of sub-genres with that. Dillinger Escape Plan are my current favourite band and my heroes in music are Dave Grohl, Pat Smear and Mike Patton.
Here's my top 10 bands I'm listening to at the mo
1.The Automatic
2.Comeback Kid
3.Leng T'Che
4.Folly
5.MC Lars
6.Mr Bungle
7.Farse
8.Lightyear
9.Tool
10.Brand New

Movies:

Goonies, Craddle to the Grave or anything with Adam Sandler. The golden era of film was the 80s back when Eddie Murphy was still funny and all good movies came in threes: Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, Karate Kid (the forth one with the girl doesn't count, she's hasn't got shit on Daniel Son!), Crodile Dundee (although I'm well aware it wasn't the 80s when the third one came out) etc.

Television:

I didn't really like TV much but then I got a TV Licence so thought I would make the most of it. I like stuff like The Simpsons, Family Guy, Big Brother Viva La Bam etc...how sterotypical a twenty something am I?

Books:

I'm mainly into Autobiographies or other non-fiction. The last book I read was about the history of Two Tone. It turns out my band has played at a venue where the Beat have played, which is pretty cool. I've just started a book about David Lee Roath although he's writing skills are leaving little to be desired at the mo. May go onto a book I bought about the Clash instead. (*) update I did infact move onto the Clash. David Lee Roth may be hero of mine but he can't write for shit! Mind you I guess if I lived his lifestyle I wouldn't be able too either. His cat suits more than make up for his poor book. David all is forgiven.
Currently reading about wrestling legend Mick Foley after reading about Ric Flair

Heroes:

Jesus, Dave Grohl and Mike Patton.

Everyone's an individual these days. I'm getting fed up of people saying they're an individual when they're not. Most people that say they're individuals are normally just conforming to a none main...
