Kerrang! Tour - Bristol

Part 2 of 5/6

Highlights:

- Leaving Wonderland
- Stopping at the first services we saw for breakfast and seeing My Passion. We spent the whole time trying to avoid them.
- Getting lost driving around Bristol
- Finally finding the Travelodge and finding the Relentless van parked outside O_O
- Getting to the room and celebrating the fact that the bathroom was in a seperate room!
- Heading to the venue where we saw Thomas, Kelly and Andy
- Going into town for some moneys
- Going back and heading to the front of the queue to get our passes
- Security once again telling us to wait outside, as they knew nothing about it
- Standing at the front of the queue.
- THE FARMER!!!
- Watching All Time Low literally get chased down the street
- Going off to get food, being careful about not running into ATL
- Tweeting Flyzik to get back sooner, as we were cold and he was with the band.
- Watching them walk back and being happy because it meant we were going in soon.
- Seeing Matt looking really lost in the Box Office area, then finally spotting us
- Getting our tickets scanned then being led into the main room by Flyzik, where we stood watching My Passion soundcheck as Jack was still on the bus.
- Giving Matt his first Mickey of tour. Apparently it's going to live in his bunk, but wants another for the sound stage and dressing room
- Watching Vinny walk around,
- "They look like Aiden, but not as good" - Vinny Vegas
- Matt talking over the radio then being led backstage again. Security looked confused as hell.
- Following Matt through a maze of corridors (And discussing how it smelled like a public toilet) and up a flight of spiral stairs to ATL's dressing room, where Zack, Rian and Greico were.
- Greico looking quite confused by me and Bee
- Jack turning up a few minutes later, followed by Colussy
- Being told Alex had died
- "Yeah, you're not here to meet the band, you're here to audition as the new singer of the band." - Jack Barakat
- Alex walking up the stairs, awkwardly waving when he saw us.
- Jack standing next to us and giving us water and some dodgy granola bar
- The first proper thing Rian said to us literally being "So what do you guys wanna do today?"
- Talking about being given free water at venues, which then turned into a conversation about alcohol
- Rian then sitting on Greico's lap due to lack of room
- Saying how we needed the knife Rian offered us in Southampton because of the Blackout fans AKA the Dickhead
- Zack offering us brass knuckles, then going off into his own little conversation about how effective they are.
- Getting ATL to sign the Brosaurus, which they all loved and laughed about. Rian was a fan of 'El Rawr'
- Explaining to them how to say Noriwch ("No-Rich?")
- Vinny coming up the stairs and admitting he thought me and Bee were crew.
- Him having to stand on the stairs because there was no room
- Bee telling them how they saved her life because of Norwich, and Jack telling us he was psychic and knew it was going to happen, which is why they played there on that date.
- More photos
- Discussing that the dressing room would blow up (I was stood in a puddle of water that had a small heater in the middle of it)
- Asking us if we were going to another date, and i mentioned that i couldn't cause of work and i was heading to Florida on the 8th
- Matt sticking his head out of the corner when Disneyland was mentioned
- "France?" "No, Florida"
- "This has turned into the Matt Flyzik meet & greet" - Alex Gaskarth
- Getting high fives off of Alex
- Rian high fiving me, then smacking Jack
- Being led back out by Flyzik
- Joining the barrier on the side because doors had already opened and barrier was almost full
- Realising we didn't care because we had just been with ATL in their dressing room
- Decent security who let us put our bags behind the barrier
- Thinking i'd lost my phone...It was in my pocket
- My Passion being first on, not many people knowing the words.
- Young Guns playing their set backwards, and Fraser's guitar breaking.
- The Blackout coming on stage
- Bob actually being kinda happy
- TBO playing Fashion Concious Suicide
- Sean looking at me and Bee way too many times. Like Cardiff all over again.
- Spazzing as we saw ATL set up (We seriously love their crew more than them)
- Trying (and failing) to get more water off Matt as they set up as the bottles Jack gave us were almost empty
- Watching Rian lurking behind the drum kit with Greico
- Jeff looking gay...It's the gloves
- Optimus Prime!
- Screaming Fuck You Jeff! Which cause many people to back away
- Being pissed off that we weren't on Matt's side, but then realising we could see Danny, so we were happy
- Having screaming fangirls next to/behind us ¬_¬
- Being given Jacks picks
- Bee getting hit in the face with one
- :O
- Cucumber story
- Stealing water off Andy when the bar wouldn't give us any and Andy was there
- Deciding we didn't want to buy merch because Vinny wasn't there
- Going outside and giving Si from Young Guns £5 for the free EP that YG accidently sent me. He wouldn't believe me and looked really happy that i gave them £5 for nothing.
- "There's crumbs in my bed!"
- Sitting in the windowsill of our Travelodge and watching a white van parking, trying to figure out if it belonged to one of the bands
- "I'm gonna make it more piggy...Shit! It looks like a horse!"
- "He looks like a cross between Rian and Stape" "Rape?"
- Finally going to sleep
- Leaving Bristol
- Buying water at the service station and just laughing
- Gandalf!



So that's it.

What i could only describe as the best nights of my life so far.
