Metal Up Your Ass and all that Jazz Room V2

So, Carcass last night...
Was going to go with my step-son, but he couldn't make it. I took my apprentice metalhead from work instead. He'd never even been to a proper live show before!

First band was a local band called Pieces of Molly. Would be one of the worst bands I've seen in a long time. Had a great guitarist who had a good singing voice, but the frontman was a complete egomaniac fuckwit.

The Black Dahlia Murder went down a storm. I didn't like them. Got fucking bored. Got in the pit for a while, but it was just meh. All the technical skill in the world, but no feel or atmosphere.

While Carcass were setting up, the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate the building. It was because some fuckwit had been vaping and set off the alarm. Entitled cunt. Had to stand outside in the pissing rain. The look on the firemen's faces was priceless - obviously never seen a metal crowd before!

Carcass were just fucking brilliant. Jeff Walker is fucking tiny, and his bass is nearly as big as he is! Loved his sarcastic banter. "This place stinks. It stinks of semen." The venue is the former Maritime  Union building. Got front and centre again, and sang "Keep On Rotting In The Free World" eye to eye with him. Bill Steer seems like a trippy old death metal hippie. Nippy Blackford fell off the stage at one point, and carried on playing sitting on the floor.

Anyway, I scored two guitar picks - one each from Carcass and TBDM. My young apprentice enjoyed himself. One of the managers from work was in the pit behind me, and he had a great time too.
