but they were better than the other bands and should of won if it was based on technical ability. john was alright at talking between songs and that and he had his mates from his street in the front. i think some people were a bit gutted that it wasn't metal though ermm.and then the next band had a pretty good singer but they only played power chords but were okay. they played about 5 songs and the the headline band were awesome. they were metal but it was like folk/comedy metal, ****ing wicked. i was scared of losing my phone, wallet or dying in the mosh pit though. and then me and the band and the girls were upstairs and were just chilling and it was like wicked after they did their set and we were just relaxing. and then we stayed for the headline band and for the results and then i asked ben where y guitar was and he said it was already in the car. so we are bout to leave and then we find out that theres not going to be room for one person...that person being me awehuhs. so john asked some random guy if him and his gf and me can have a lift to the pines but eventually we arrange for his mate to take us to the pines where i would then get picked by petes gf. and ****ing hell johns two mates were either on drugs or really drunk or insane. serious, we almost fell down a hill cause he had us in reverse and this guy kept shouting CHAVS outside the window and john is saying like "DON'T STALL! DON'T STALL" and we were listening to music and he was dancing and we kept almost crashing and he kept moving the wheel side to side fast to wobble the car and he could hardly see out the windscreen cause it was misty and he kept saying things like "oh i cant wait till i pass my driving test on friday" and we hardly had a clue where we were going and so i finally get dropped off at the pines with johns mate, the one who kept shouting CHAVS and he was sound, cant believe we were both the same age though cause he was huge and he thought i was 15 and he said he didnt get served any drink at the gig but he usually doesnt get ID'd and i said "...yeah...me neither" and he looked a me with a funny face and said "heh you sure about that". then he gets a lift off his dad and im still waiting for like 10 minutes and then i have a walk around to the sainsburys and then thats where i see petes gf and she beeped the horn and i finally get a lift at like half past 11 in the freezing cold and its packed in the back with me and ben and bens gf and petes bass and i have to go back to bens house to pick up my stuff and when im there we're al having a laugh and im getting my things ready and then i get a lift off my dad back home and im home for about midnight. wicked. then today i woke up and my parents were gone and im like lol wtf and then i remembered that they went to this caravan place for a day/night and iv just been in my pajama bottoms watching the rugby and cheaper by the dozen. good times!

ill tell you now, yesterday, good day. i got into work and cause its friday and its pay day, we always go in the attic and i was first up there again, went on facebook, heroes and that, nice and quiet again too. jonny came up around 10ish and we were just talking about heroes and how hes 18 now and i dunno if hes lying or not, maybe not, but im like "did you have a good 18 birthday? what you do? stay home and play your xbox? nice life you got there". but he said that he got dragged to a sixth form party and got pissed. and then at break he said that because we got docked last week that he will go over to the annex instead of the attic and im like "what!?" i mean how can he do this? its like tradition, we always talk about heroes, go to Ferraris and got our break! but that was closed!? and sweetmans was closed and cant go to greggs because greggs is the enemy of both?! so its like our whole tradition is broken and we're in shock like. so gay, but we got our cheques early and somehow i had £35 😐 i should of had less than that, and then jonny started shouting about how i skipped a few days of work, i didnt spend one full day in work except monday i think. then after we cashed our cheques, i went to WHSmiths with jonny and we looked at a few of the mags and dvds, cds, and then i got my sister a rubix cube and we went home. and i was home at about 12 and so i had plenty of time and then ben called me around 1 and he said he had a free lesson thing and so i went around his with my guitar and we just talked about the gig tonight and he said he was nervous and that he was never nerous before gigs and he put on the new guitar string and had to keep tuning it because new strings go out of tune easily and you're supposed to put on new strings a few days before a gig and he said he was a bit worried about that and then i played on his fender musicmaster from like the 70s he got in a second hand shop in england and i practised some songs in my guitar grade book thing but the new strings on the guitar were like ****ed up near the bridge and it sounded tinny and ben had to go back to school so i was just hanging out in his house which was weird practising this song, then he came back and he seen how i was getting on and then 10 minutes later we got ready and went over to petes house with his gf who was coming over just as we were leaving. and pete let us in and then on the radiator were Offset t-shirts and they were personalised for the band and the girls. on pete it said "BASS IS BEST" and on johns gfs one it said "im sleeping with the lead singer" and johns said something like "am i in the band? im the lead signer you ****". then pete was looking around and he said he cant find the keys to his garage where stuff they need for the gig is, and he thinks he left it in school and then he goes into the church which is just outside his house, you have to go through the graveyard to get to his house and his dad has a meeting in there, and he must have interrupted them or something and he went back in his house and he said that he left them upstairs on his desk 😐. then we get in the garage and try out the effects pedal and theres something wrong with it and im always warning ben that if does anything wrong with the guitar that i will kill him and im like "theres nothing wrong with the guitar is there? sly". luckily all it was was the compression button or something and it was turned down so that everything was muted. we had to be at the place at 5 and we spent 15 mins in the cold trying to work out what was wrong with the effects. and we arranged so that i was going in the car with john and bens gfs and that was just pretty funny cause ben was like aw i dont want anyone hitting on you at the gig and im like can i hit on her and hes like **** off uhuhbut we end up with me and john and pete and his mum driving in one car, ben and the girls in the other car and we had petes bass lying across mine and petes laps in the back and then petes gf was going to be there at 7.30 which was when the gig was starting but bands are meant to be there at 5 and its like half hour or more drive to blaengarw and i said "iv been to blaengarw before, played football there a few years ago....but i cant remember much of it" and john said "ha, doesnt sound like it was a very good game then". and we finally get to the place, and its in the valleys and john is having a go at the people and stuff and how they're all weird. and john didnt think it was open at first but theres a band there already and they had built beds into the back of this van and it was actually open so we took some stuff in there and talk to the guy who i think was running it said yeah we're offset, waitingfor the rest of the band, and he said that when you have a full band that you can do the soundcheck. 10 minutes later, everyone else his here except steff (the drummer) and petes gf who wasnt coming till later, steff is here 5 mins after ben and the girls get here and the band get ready plug stuff in, check things work and all this takes 20 minutes and steff still doesnt have a snare! so he asked one of the bands (who i found out later were the headline band) but they didnt let him have their snare, and so he asked another band who came in later and they said he could (this band were like last minute cause another band pulled out and they knew the guy running it and so thats how they got in so late) use their snare. but then the skin on the bass drum broke! so it took another 15 mins to find one and me and the girls were just sitting there having food talking about the t shirts and that and ben and john would come over and ben was like "if i find out that theres been any business between you and my gf... uhuh" and im like "oh i wouldnt do that im a good guy 😱". then they finally get everything workign and start playing one of their songs to practise and just make sure everything works. it was really cool to watch cause the guy running it had some sort of control pad and could like make amps louder or put more gain on or something somehow. was well cool. it was really loud though. and after about an hour or maybe not an hour but it felt like that, the next band did their soundcheck and it was this scremo metal band. haha it was so bad though. it was this old fat guy and he was screaming and at first it was like woah mate calm down and i was just laughing cause i thought it was just funny seeing this fat guy screaming, cant hear a word hes saying. and then we're all just talking and the band are putting things in this backstage bit thing and im telling ben to make sure he looks after my guitar! and then the other bands are finally here and they're all like heavy metal/scremo bands. and this one band who actually won (it was a battle of the bands, but the band weren't really bothered about winning), this band were terrible, two singers, two guitarists and a drummer and bassist, but they really sucked so bad. and then steff went upstairs and then later people started coming in cause the gig was about to start and i saw some people i knew but i couldnt be bothered like and some of the girls, they were stunning but they were proper slutty scene girls and ben kept saying that i should go on the pull and say im in a band so that girls will kept off with me but i just went upstairs after and it was wicked cause it was only steff and two people there and there was seats and it was just good cause i wasnt in the ****ing ruckus of people coming in and being around people, cause people suck really. and steff is REALLY relaxed, hes awesome though but hes just too relaxed, when i was downstairs i could look up and see steffs shoes hanging over the like wall thing and i went up and he was just lying back with his foot over the edge, and then we were ujst chilling waiting for the music to start and then i looked down and it was packed, then the first band came on and petes gf came up after and we watched the first band upstairs and they were really bad but they were the most jump and insane which in these contests is the only thing that really matters 😬. and the singers were like jumping around and jumping on the floor and jumping into the crowd and into the mosh pits and it was funny cause between of the songs the singer was about to scream something but he went "AAAA-woah woah woah what the **** are you doing? you are way too (something something)" i think he said toougly to do something i dunno 😂. and this one guy kept doing backflips off the stage! insane! and they plaed about 5 songs and the next band to come one were the fat olf guy and his band but they didnt have a bassist and i thought they were kinda crap but better than the other band, still a generic emo band though. they weren't as crazy as the first band but the fat singer kept jumping in the mosh pits and he was saying how the girls were better than the boys in the mosh pitswhich was funny. and then on their last song they said for everyone to come up on the stage and it was mad cause there was a huge mosh pit on the stage and people were almost falling off the stage, people falling over, crazy. then offset came on! i was just hoping nothing happened to my guitar, and it was weird though cause the first two bands were metal/screamo and then offset came on and they play like experimental rock/funk and i dunno but im pretty sure i could hear someone shoutin "METAALLL"
