can't believe i forgot about fred, i had a pint with him at elvaston castle steam rally

 

[windsurfer]

Jeez Ez :lol: ,
You've met some of my favourite bands. I love my punk rock and am well into NOFX and Offspring, saw NOFX in Brum earlier this year (april I think). Kat Von D's pretty hot too.
If you'd met Blink 182 I'd have been super jealous, they're my favourite band :mrgreen: just stoked that they got back together, maybe I can get to see them again.
Sounds like Rage are going to tour the UK too :mrgreen:

Now if we did a list of bands seen live, I'd be fine

:lol: He looks more like Iggy Pop though! :mrgreen:


Ive met/seen quite a few. The biggest 'haul' was when I moonlighted at the Cheltenham Gold Cup Festival and 'waited' in a private box for Gary Newboum(?). He had Ron Atkinson, Frank Warren and Andy Gray in there as guests and I was their food and drink bitch for the day.

'Big Ron' was a generous nice guy - this was before he was outed as a racist twunt. Frank Warren was polite and charming - but pretty scarey. Andy Gray had been a schoolboy hero of mine during his time at Wolves (1980 League Cup Final goal scorer) and crushed my opinion of him as he was a greedy, rude, big headed prick. All in my personal opinion, of course. :mrgreen:
