O2 academy – Page 3 – Gig Addiction

Papa Roach , @ O2 Academy, Sheffield 2-12-13

Skunk Anansie , Beware Of Darkness, O2 Academy, Leeds, 20-3-13

Typically, i was the first person at the venue 😉 Had a chat with “Beastie” whilst waiting. For ages no one joined the queue, then, a right bundle of energy turned up : ” Is the gig still on? Where is everyone?” . I said ” i’d imagine most peeps are in the pub” lol. I told her i’d seen the tour already & we’re in for a good show. We had a good laugh whilst waiting for others to arrive. After i’d told her i’m staying in Leeds, she asked if i fancied going for a drink afterwards…of course ! 🙂 The gig was another good one. During the show, skin said something to me & Lorah seemed impressed 🙂 My stand out memories of AFTER the gig was the last bar we were in, pretty much at closing time, Lorah brought pints over…then went back to the bar & got a couple more! So we both had 2 pints on the go. Then, we couldn’t find my hotel….once there, we had a few more beers 😉 A bloody good day/night for sure !

Halestorm, In This Moment , Sacred Mother Tongue, @ O2 Academy, Oxford 7-3-13

Myself & Cat drove down to this one & we met Kristina in the city. Had food, checked into the hotel & back to the venue. We were all doing the VIP meet n greet tonight. Another great show from ITM & Halestorm.

As we had a hotel, we hung around outside to meet the bands. The girls managed to get a photo with Maria of ITM

Then we met all of Halestorm. Before this night we’d already worked out they are the most fan friendly down to earth bunch, but, tonight they just showed the extent of it. The weather ended up pissing it down, but it didn’t put a dampener on things. Josh was the absolute star…he just stayed out talking with us despite the weather. In the end, we had to say we were leaving as we were soaked & think Josh woulda stayed there much longer !
