About Me


Get this video and more at MySpace.com
I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
Aston University Metal Society was formed in 2005 by three students in the students union bar Einsteins (as all good stories start) by Michelle Emery, Craig Billyard and Matt Kimberley when Matt and Shell spotted the metaller at the bar, clearly feeling uncomfortable with the lack of metal in Aston and we chatted and from there the society grew as us three hunted down the long-haired types within the university and got down to the serious business of head banging and drinking.
It all started for those at Aston who weren’t really into their Green Day and who had nobody to find to go to Bloodstock, Download, Wacken and basically places were they play nice n heavy music n none of that punk, dance, indie, r'n'b or shit like that. From there the society set outs its mission, to bring real metal to Birmingham’s central University, right where it should be. Aston’s Metal Society missions are basically to get like minded people into similar bands to gigs, underground clubs, pubs and festivals. We are also aiming to form strong ties between Birmingham’s (And further afield) bands and Aston’s students.
!!!!WORD OF WARNING!!!!
If you are an emo, indie, hip pop, R&B or pop punk band or you have a crappy taste in music (stuff we dont like), dont add us!!!CRAIG HATES EMOS!!!!!

My Interests

Metal, Beer, Moshing, Gigs, Metallers, Vodka, Sambuca, Wreckedness and guitars (with the odd drum beat mind you)
