Essentially a thrash virgin last night, Mr. Thrashduck and I had a jolly good time.

The hearing's just about coming back in my left ear now.


My hearing was barely affected, and I was in the pit most of the time as well, 'less you spent a lot of the time stood right next to one of the speakers, which defo does not good for your ears, I should know! :lol:
There were people stood closer to the speakers than me. They must've been deaf beforehand.

In other news, I was drinking Fosters all night and have no problems with any of my digestive parts. So if you had the shits, my guess is that you touched the naked guy and didn't wash your hands.


I wasn't in the room when naked guy was rolling around!

I still can't feel my little finger, crazy. Got 200 flyers I was gonna give out here too. :cry:


Hey never mind, I would have had to make the questions up on the spot anyway... :eyes:

Bloody mental it was though, not been back long, hurty neck, hurty face, winded, bloated and tired, but worth it. Nuff respect to the guy who managed to crowd surf naked, which saw Waste telling the crowd "don't touch his AIDS dick" and then giving him a free shirt to wear because the security guards chucked him out..

Nice to meet Dave and Luci finally too!!! :D


I think my mate nicked his shirt! :lol:

I missed that as well, chatting to Dave and Luci. I spotted you Paul chatting with your mates so I didn't want to interrupt, that was the only time I saw you! :doh:



Thrashduck and Steve - cool meeting you both!

Nah I saw that :lol: - happened just before I came out of the main room. Thought I'd get out a bit early and buy some merch before the mad rush.

Municipal Waste were awesome! The crowd was absolutely insane. I thought Toxic Holocaust were rather good too although first band did nothing for me.

Yeah Toxic Holocaust were good,frontman looked like a Motley Crue reject though!The 'Waste were awesome. but both bands sets seemed a bit short to me.I think next time MW tour it will be in much bigger venues.I think Josephs Well were happy to take a tenner off everyone and not bother if they could actually fit into the venue or not!!!Mind you £10 is not bad for 3 bands plus a free sauna included!!!

Firstly, Waste aren't exactly known for their long songs.. and it must be tough to keep up at that pace for a certain length of time. And secondly, would you really get the same atomosphere in a bigger venue? I think not captain and I hopes they keep playing smaller places, just get a ticket before it sells out you lazy slobs.

I went to the London show tonight - was great to see Mutant on a major stage, the crowd seemed to really love it and they sounded great! Toxic Holocaust were really raging too, non-stop blasphemous speed metal with no regard to stepping out of the box at all, haha!!

I'm not a huge Municipal Waste fan... watched about three of their tracks and didn't do much for me - found the guitar a bit quiet at first, but no doubt most of the scenester crowd loved them!

Worth the £12, shame the bar was so criminally expensive as usual.. pre-gig K cider all the way!

Now that was a fun night!

Mutant were absolutly brilliant, one of the best sets I've ever heard from them, Turbo Hyper Ultra Mega Power seems to get better everytime I hear it :D

Municipal Waste were crazy, spent most of the second half of there set in the pit and hurt my back so much I litterally had to hobble out of that place when it was all over.

Also James, it was a pleasure having a chat with you :wink:

Last night was incredible, the show had 700 paying and 100 guestlist and was just insane from start to end!

Mutant and MW were just immense and it was a raging beast to play on that stage!

Good times, bad times having 4 hours sleep and going to work in 15 minutes :(

Also a big thankyou to Jamie of RR for standing in on Merch duties for Mutant and us, J your a class act and it's always apprecaited what you do, the UKThrash scene need's more people like you, a cloning experiment perhaps.

Was a good gig, Mutant were great, I missed Seregon. Toxic Holocaust and MW were cool. But the crowd annoyed me, some prick "helped" me up after I fell over by pulling my fucking hair, with both hands, that pissed me off. Also what pissed me off was the fact that loads of dicks were shoving their elbows around, my ribs took such a beating and I was winded for a good portion of the show. I seem to like MW less everytime I see them.

Did anyone go to the "Beermageddon"?

I have a major throat infection now so I'm missing work.

Am I the only one that noticed the lead guitar was way too fucking loud during Mutant? It was practically all I could hear! Still, they were awesome as always.
It was weird seeing Municipal Waste and not having to dodge stage divers every 10 seconds.
