so yeah, as i'm lame and have fuck all better to do... assorted thoughts about the gig on Monday (last night)...
good to finally see (technically 2/3rds of ;)) Gorgasm live after the fucking debacle the last time i had the opportunity, pretty much all my own mentally degenerated self's fault...
Tom/Grindblaster is fucking HUGE!, seriously, i bet that guy could be in UFC or something... Mr Leski reminds me a bit of a pitbull in the sense of being small and compact but with plenty of bite (although i think he only seemed smaller cause he was stood next to the monolith that is Grindblaster)
I hope i don't develop a complex out of practically every single musician i meet off the internet all telling me how much bigger i am than they thought... (maybe i type too small?)
wanted to stay later and get absolutely fucking slaughtered to make the total utmost of the situation, but had to get home to be in work for 10am this morning (resorted to paying about £100 for a taxi home rather than waiting till 5:40am for the first train).
the sound in Satan's Hollow is never particularly accentuating for 99% of the bands i've seen in there, so IMO the guys could have done with somewhere with a better sound - so you can hear the pumping riffs.
opening with Fucking The Viscera (i think) was excellent, even if i did realise i didn't know the lyrics half as well as i thought
i felt an idiot midway through for not realising that the fill-in for Mr Bassgasm for this tour was actually Murray from Severed Savior and not just someone who looked quite like him...
was good to get to talk to Tom and Leski in the flesh to talk about stuff (read: my fucking inherent stupidity/ability to fuck up)...
wouldn't have minded going to the London show tomorrow but for the fact i've got to work again
probably more thoughts, just thought i'd write a list rather than try and glue 'em all together in some semi-sentient set of paragraphs.
hopefully the first time witnessing the 'gasm won't be the last time ;)
