🤘🏻Bloodstock 2022🤘🏻
By far my favourite Festival!!! Definitely one of the best weekends of my life! Now I'm almost recovered and coherent...ISH I'll attempt a "quick" summary.
☺️
EVERYTHING was perfect! Not a fucking hitch!!
Managed to meet nearly everyone that we'd mentioned and it was all smiles and laughter the entire way through.
I saw every band I tried to see, made it to the front if I wanted and all my friends from different circles got on 🖤
The emotional turnaround over the last few months is impossible to explain in words! But I'm so grateful to of met up with so many of you guys at this festival and share these moments.
🥰
So Band wise...
The "Secret Band" - Machine Head (As a 3 piece) I have seen them nearly 60 time's all over Europe and this was like watching a band practice/sound check! I Loved it!! It looked like they were having a blast and it was absolutely packed! Me and Ruby had took the Chance and got to the front. - After this we both cried as being so overwhelmed with it all it was an amazing feeling!
.
Behemoth again right at the front and it was great to see them headline!
Lamb of God! - last band we saw at the festival, I love Phil Demmel and watching him play that Poka dot guitar right in front of me, always takes me back to the Machine Head tours where again I had some of the happiest times.
Red Method - in terms of a main stage opening for a festival you will never find a better set than that! The energy & crowd control is next level! It's weird the amount of people who told me they discovered them through my dumb RUclips videos! - (I got 36 on camera to be exact!).
Avatar - Discovering them initially through a Defiled tour they are perfect Live and I haven't missed a tour since.
Bloodywood - what a surprise that was! I'll definitely check more of them out.
Collapse the Sky! - My friend Lee s band, I'd never heard him sing live and that shook me! I choked up as it was such an awesome moment! (And having just done a load of party stuff before meeting his mum then trying to act sober 😂🖤)
Detoxen - What an emotional moment that was! Could feel the love in that tent! The Matt chants were awesome and again the boys deserved it! What energy!🤘🏻
.
BUT... Yeah Actually there is 1 Negative!
I broke my camera!!! I was Vlogging the weekend, and yeah DEAD 👎🏻 it's had a hard life been through 4 festivals! Suffering A Broken lense at Download and screen at Bloodstock in the process...that said it's earned it's money back. Just massively irritating...and only my fault I guess. - To add to this, it obviously affected the Vlog! But thinking positively this was Sunday morning and why I missed a band. - I finished the footage on 2 camera phones lol.
.
The Vlog!! Billy Mayhem
I have tons of footage!! Chances are you saw me talking shit to the camera or were possisibly a part of one of the wild times. 😂🤘🏻 Nothing incriminating will be used but I will keep it as close to the mark as possible 🖤 Thanks for putting up with it, I know it's not for everyone, (and can be irritating) but it was amazing meeting people who genuinely came to Bloodstock because of my previous Vlog! I had no idea the reach or affect it had when I started all of that RUclips stuff. - and I'm working on it as we speak.
🤘🏻 & Almost didn't happen as the memory card was corrupted and I had to download a program to fix it! - it took 6 hours to do but recovered the files!
😬
And yeah again without getting all deep I'm absolutely blown away by the reactions and positivity of this festival! Meeting all the people who were there through all of the bad shit a few months back meant the world and I was so humbled. It meant the world to me!
❤️
- So yeah despite all of the weekend craziness...
I'm now typing this on route to Combichrist with Bartek

[@PeteDevlinootnaboot]

Managed to miss you again. Did see Bartek in the Serpent's Lair one night. He was "busy" 😂. Mine is processing. Out soon hopefully.

[@billymayhem]

Ahhhh bro!!!
We are crap at this meeting stuff!! Haha
I loved your Download stuff as it had what I missed when I was sorting people out. 🙄
I dread to think what Bartek was up too at that point!! Probably not RUclips friendly!
