Didn't actually introduce myself despite all my posts.
My name is matt and I am from Colchester, south east UK. Evile fucking rock. Since I got the request from them on myspace I had been waiting a long, long time to be able to see them and due to unbelievable bad luck and stupid circumstances (the cause of which I have since sent on her merry little bitchy moaning way) I was not able to see them until a long time after hearing them.
Let my experience be a reminder to all of you to never let a fucking skirt come between you and THRASH FUCKING METAL. Especially when the group are as talented as these guys.
Finally managed to see them a couple of months back and as I said to Mike it was the most I have ever enjoyed any thrash gig. As was the time after that, and the time after that, and as I am sure will be again at Get In The Ring.
Unfortunately there is no way of knowing if I can yet make the 12th cos I am on placement in a hospital (I am a student psychiatric nurse) we'll have to see about that. But I am definately attending GITR
My biggest influences in thrash are Megadeth, Testament, and early metallica, but I like a lot of others.
I am (or claim to be) a thrash guitarist and my favourite shredders are -in no partciluar order- Paul Gilbert, Jeff Loomis, Marty Friedman, Adrian Smith -I know it isnt really shredding but i love this guys tone-, dave mustaine, alex skolnick, jeff waters (Knight Jumps Fucking Queen, baby!
), and so many others.
See you at GITR!!!!
