So I’d be lying if I didnt say my main focus before shooting Lacuna Coil was to be the very beautiful Cristina Scabbia (no H), but that all changed when the Rawk poses were broken out by every member of the band *huge grin*
Danko Jones is a ladies man and doesnt he like to let you know it! With songs loaded with sexual innuendo and a swagger in his stride, its quite difficult to take the hard rock trios approach seriously. But then, thats half the fun isnt it?
For anybody whos read my About Page, you will know that Alter Bridge were the catalyst in my concert photography adventure. Stood in the photo pit when the band start ripping through ‘Find the real’, things have come full circle!
Great little set from Wishbone Ash tonight. Apart from the fact that they played in near enough pitch black, the punters went home happy bunnies.
The Hamsters are in town tonight, which means its time for obnoxiously coloured shirts, bright shoes and animal from the muppets(?!)
Feeder = good times and happy days. Memories of summer, memories of college. Memories. And bloody great sing along songs! Woop Woop!
Leaving the Busted tags well and truly behind, Charlie Simpson brought his new band of bruisers to the Academy tonight. Melodic in a Deftones sort of way, heavy in a metal version of Muse sort of way, Fightstar are as tight as a gnatts chuff.
I like rock. I like metal. I pretty much like everything. But although The Scorpions are a world renowed name - apart from ‘that’ song, bizzarely I hadnt heard them before this evening.
It might have been the 8 page spread in Classic Rock last month that prickled up my curiousity, or it may have been the fact that they have such an intensely dedicated fan base, but something made me want to go and shoot this one and I’m glad I did!
Dragonforce was one of those big gigs that you stick in your diary, and yet your so busy it just sort of creeps up on you without a chance to get excited. Walking into the venue, I didnt really know what to expect, and the lack of any lighting for the support bands was not adding to my feeling of edginess.
Regardless, into the photo pit I went, and catching a glimpse of what was behind the curtain blocking off the stage, I couldnt quite believe what I saw. Oh my days!
Oh the Trout! I’ve been quite literally GAGGING to shoot Walter since the first time I saw him play many many years ago. If you like ripping solos and gurning faces, Walter is the man for you.
