head banging bastards

Is it me or is the Matt Smith look coming in? That's the second bow tie and jacket ensamble on a skinny bloke I've spotted this month. Ok I'm only jealous cause I can't pull off a bow tie myself. Anyhoo, today has been quite a foggy day, which is rather uninteresting save for the fact that I haven't seen such thick fog in years and it was quite eerie to walk out in to. There was certainly fog on the Tyne this morning alright!

Well there was a big OMG today as I stubbled upon a new Blaze Bayley video! I had no idea they had released material on vid from the new album, and it's great to see Blaze not giving up on the British Heavy Metal thing. My first ever rock concert was at the Corp in Sheffield to see Blaze, just after he broke with Maiden. While not the most crazy concert I'd been to (that award goes to Megadeth - biggest circle mosh I'd seen, ever!), being my first I was completely buzzing, and moshed so hard I couldn't hold my neck up the next day!



I got to say thanks to Blaze for the concert when I met him a few years ago, he politely nodded and I don't think he heard what I said, but it was nice to give thanks for such an awesome time. I personally don't think Blaze has topped his first album, Silicon Messiah (God I wonder if my old Silicon Messiah fansite is still knocking about in cyberspace?) but he's still flying the flag for British Heavy Metal when most bands are either moving on or doing it retro styleee, so that holds much awesomeness. Listening to that takes me back to my old bedroom, first moving out of home, doing my early comics, watching WhirlGirl, and of course, Brucey came back to Iron Maiden, which is no bad thing.

I also started on my Deviantart again this week, although it only has one picture up (the Sixth Doctor one) but it's a start. Hopefully I'll get round to lots more soon and may even try Entervoid if I can think up of a decent enough character.
