🤘🏻Bloodstock 2023🤘🏻
Well...What a tale of 2 totally different Festival experiences...
Firstly - All of The Good 😁
It started absolutely seamlessly! Everything went off without any issues at all! No traffic, no queues, we meet everyone super quick and all got camped in Midgard togetherish. And It's an absolutely perfect festival! Make no mistake, it's spot on for the Community vibe we all have & Love. Bloodstock is definitely a meeting point for a few hundred of my closest mates that don't live close and we spend hours catching up & sharing stories.
☺️
RUclips:
I'm amazed at how many people quote certain things back to me that I've said in old videos & repeat flippant comments! I absolutely loved catching up with you all 🖤 and really did my best to at least get a quick "Hi & Bye" on camera! Especially in the first 2 days! All such positive stuff! & It's great to see we're making an impact on your lives by just screwing around & being ourselves. + The videos are now sponsored by The London Metal Coalition.🤘🏻
The highlights band wise:
🤘🏻HATE!!🤘🏻 They were exactly what I needed! But so early! & We hadn't slept!!! 😂
Killswitch Engage (I was always a Howard guy) but they absolutely smashed it! & Took me by surprise.
Abbath I have never seen them be that good!!! 😂 I have seen him many times be sloppy as fuck but this was a good show!
Decapitated - My neck still hurts from headbanging that fast!!! 🤘🏻😎🍻 Exactly what we needed!
Lokust what a turn out! It was cool to meet so many people who went to the show, on my RUclips recommendation! I tried to get this on camera as much as possible, I was shocked that it had that kind of influence!!
& Kinda the same thing with Sanguinem!!! It was so cool to follow their story from winning London Metal 2 the Masses to playing Bloodstock. That Live performance was so much better than the recordings!
The Bad
Unfortunately one of the worst things I've ever witnessed happened at this festival...
After Abbath we had gone back to Camp for more drinks. Whilst walking up to the toilet, I walked into the scene, slowly figuring out it's where my friends were camped & That Vyte had passed away in his tent.
Going from such a fucking high to watching that, was the biggest emotional drop I've personally ever had. Total silence...The Bloodstock staff & security were respectful & handled it as best as they could. Watching Debs give that speech to us lot after waiting for what felt like hours was too much for me...I couldn't cope & was a crying mess. So if any of us seemed off on the following day thats why. So many of us are still in shock & it really hasn't sunk in at all...
But we all stayed, we finished the festival, it's definitely what he would have done/wanted & my hope is that our little group of mates really pull's together & support/ check in on eachother through the following few weeks/months & most importantly the now empty feeling Gigs. Because he was at absolutely everything with us! A gentle giant & Absolute Fucking Legend.
🖤

On the way home
4 miles from Oxford services our car had ESP failure & suddenly went into Limp mode on the motorway & so we had to crawl down the hard shoulder 😂 I managed to reset the ECU at the services and got the thing 9.5 hours home, but it was a tough one! We passed out nearly straight away and my Mac completely broke whilst uploading the footage so hopefully thats not corrupted & I'll be working on the next series of Bloodstock Vlogs throughout this week. As usual 7PM & I will do the LiveChats🤘🏻and will be spending a few hours catching up on all of the messages I've (Not) ignored!
Thanks for making this Festival Special and getting me through it guys! Mad Love as always!

🤘🏻😎🍻
So sorry to hear about your friend. 😢💕
Thank you 🖤
He was such a Gentle Giant
Met him at 5AM on my second ever Bloodstock and he was truly awesome to hang around with! And just up for a laugh all the time. It absolutely sucks...
@@billymayhem can’t imagine how you’re all feeling, be kind to yourselves 💕
‘The Barteks’ had me pissing btw, sounds like a reality show
It wasn't far off!!!!
They had me in bits the whole weekend!!!
😂
Bartek 2 is fucking awesome & always up for a laugh!
Thanks for the video Billy, sorry to hear about your friend 🖤🤘
Cheers Matthew 🖤🤘🏻
Nice one mate. Been looking forward to this! Pleasure to bump into you a few times this weekend. Really sorry to hear about your mate though. RIP Vyte x
Thank you mate! Only Just responded to your message 🤘🏻 it's been tough since we got back.
I am afraid it will defiantly hit the others very hard. I am very worried about them as we lost another not long ago too.
The vibe was very different after that & I havent been able to look at the footage from that day yet, so editing it will be a tearful time I am sure.
But yeah, great to catch up and thanks so much for saying Hi!!
Finally.
Was waiting for this one 🙈
Hopefully they keep you entertained for a little while
:)
It was great to meet you at Bloodstock, Billy. I was the slightly inebriated Irish man who bumped into you early Saturday evening in the main stage area, rambling some nonsense but what I was trying to say was that watching your videos prior to my first Bloodstock trip was fantastic and gave me a real insight before coming to the festival. Keep up the awesome blogging. \m/
Mate had an absolute blast!!! I think I used some of that footage for the video so be prepared to laugh in the later ones!
🤘🏻😎🍻
Thanks so much for the feedback I really appreciated it!
Great vid Billy. For the record that beer is pronounced ‘Ching Dao’ It’s cracking stuff. 🤘
I will definitely be checking out more of it & continuing the mis pronouncing hahah
😂🤘🏻
Right on good vlog me and my daughter came all the way from Pueblo Colorado our first time we had a great time we will be back
Brilliant!!!
I hope you had a blast with the extended Bloodstock family!!
🤘🏻😎🖤
Barteks girl is like a female version of himself, so funny😂😂😂 I can here wedding bells, ruby will have to get a hat
Can you imagine that Stag do?!?
🤘🏻😂🍻
I’m not even half way through the video and Barteks Missus(?) is uncannily like him 😂
I know right!!!
I absolutely love those two together!!!
They have no idea how hilarious they are
🤘🏻
I walked past you couple times there, I would say hi but I don't like to bother people but as usual great to see your vlogs. Also I'm so sorry to hear about your friend, that must of been difficult for all of you. I'm wishing you all the best and may your friend Vyte rest in power. 🤘❤
Thank you mate!
If you ever do wanna pop up & say hi please don't think you are bothering us! We are all social people and love the family vibe Bloodstock brings!
🤘🏻😎🖤
The set up videos are great as u look normal. Bartek is the same hahahahahaha
There's another tonight
1 per day at 6PM
If I'm upto a live chat I will 🤘🏻
Thank you for your support Mate
Might go to the New Cross inn on the Saturday, can’t complain for £20
The Saturday will be absolutely insane mate!!! It's so cheap for what it is!
- first 25 people in get a free beer too!!!
🍻😎🍻
Ardmore is a nice dram. Good choice. It was silly cheap for a while so I stashed a few bottles. Better get mine uploaded eh?
Found your channel through @Billymayhem and you are great! How did you meet?
@@JoseReyes-bh9yf I've yet to meet Billy although we've been in the same place many times! Was just a YT comment I think and we've had a few chats online. I will meet him soon I hope. Thanks for the kind comment.
It will happen!!! Haha
One day we will actually meet mate!! 😂 I'm shocked it didn't happen at this festival tbh! & Yeah I got 3 bottles when they were £20 each! Love it!
How'd you get on this year?
@@billymayhem had a great time mate. Vido Pt1 is up. Trying to get Pt2 out soon but got a another bike thing to film tomorrow so prepping for that. Think I'm going to get wet. I would actually have come down for that thing you're plugging to death but I've got Orkney Rock Fest that weekend and that's a no miss event. Stonedead the week before and then a wee quiet spell thank fuck before November gig silliness again. I was amazed I missed you, found quite a few other YTers. Just getting to the stage where people recognise me now, one guy even told me he'd just seen you! 🤣
Ahhhh mate hahaha
The plugging gets worse!!! 😂
The whole thing was just fucking funny, we definitely went overboard with it but laughed the whole way through.
And yeah the first few times is so strange, but it does become the norm & It gets easier. It's the stalkers & nutters that I found tough! Got some mad stories about that like the time a couple tried to recruit me for a threesome & she bit me 😂
But yeah got a few of the other festival RUclipsrs on this series, was just so fucking busy! - would love to do a car/bike event too! But the beer is crazy expensive at Silverstone it was ridiculous!
Cheers guys, looking forward to the rest of the videos. I've never seen Bartek look so happy. Enjoy everyone x
I have 1 per day so I'll smash these out quick this time 😁🤘🏻 & yeah he's always smiling!!
Thanks for watching mate!!! 🖤
Pip was so cute! My dog does the same thing when she gets excited. I call it the 'zoomies' 😂
She's absolutely mental 🤣
So much personality for a lil puppy
@@billymayhem mine is a Yorkshire terrier so she's also quite small but crazy haha
Didn't call her cracker for nothing 😂
They actually stay crazy too!! Haha
Proper wicked chatting with ya bud, cant wait for Cofest 🤘 gonna be mint.
Not long to go until we party mate!!!
Cheers for being a part of it!!
🍻😎🤘🏻
I approve of the tsingtao beer in the thumbnail. It's my favourite
Ahhhhh
A true expert opinion too!!!
Awesome!!!
How'd you find this year?
🍻😎🤘🏻
@@billymayhem Pretty decent overall. got to see the bands I wanted to see. didn't bother on saturday, just got drunk in campsite ha lol. still looking forward to next year
@@neilfungaming5857
Top work mate!!
🍻🥃🍻🥃🍻🥃🍻🥃
Hahahaha
Just finished it. Was driving before.. Yeah definitely good vibes on the way in. Definitely helps start the festival the right way! I literally let out some wee laughing at the jags new bonnet mantle 🤣 sorry to hear about your friend. Definitely sobering and I'm sure you all took some time out to reflect and remember them.
It was a tough one to get through after we found out mate yeah! It really was. Such a high to walking into it was one of the hardest things I've ever seen.
Up until that it was absolutely fantastic, you know yourself how social Bloodstock is & I really tried to get that across this year!
🤘🏻
Nice to meet you and Ruby at the closing party in the Sophie tent on the Sunday,been following you for a few years now and great to see your channel going from strength to strength. Just sent you a little something through pay pal to hopefully go towards your next years Bloodstock. Cya there 🤘
Thank you so much mate!!!
It was a pleasure! I am hopeful that the footage is at least useable, the GoPro is crap in the dark 😂
I managed to get you onto the credits in the later videos & I can't tell you how much it meant with what you said at the time, it really did come at a great time for us!
Thanks again mate!
🤘🏻😎🖤
@@billymayhem no problem hopefully see you again next year 🤘
Lovely to meet you, thank you so much for the support ❤
🤟😎🤟
Great to meet you properly mate!!!
Got some quality stuff of us in one of the later ones!
🤘🏻😎🍻
I was parked after sign 6 near a light generator got at field carpark at 09.30am 😂
i am sorry about you friend bill
Thank you 🖤
I remember how hot Thurs was getting in
Nothing compared to last year!!! Hahaha
Billy are you getting any merch 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘💀💀💀💀
I really should think about it!!
A few people asked at Bloodstock & Some had even made their own!!!
It blew my mind!!
Already have my ticket for BOA 2024 and need to get one for coalition fest, security didn't even touch my bags when I entered!
I found the security to be less heavy handed but more professional/respectful this year. Talking to the punters as people not meat which was great. But it'll never be perfect...
Love this festival! 🤘🏻
Girl Bartek, dildo on the Jag bonnet, and Beer Buckle! 👏🤘Fuckin epic intro! Looks like the weather was reasonable on this day?🍻
Bartek 2 is just as hilarious! 😂 I love them both!
The weather was great all weekend, a tiny bit of rain, but they gave out free ponchos!!! 🖤
Me and my squad were just to the right of you in the queue, bloody dog caught one of my mates. He didn’t have anything on him but he didn’t half panic in case he’d left anything in his bag from last time 😂
Pahahahahaha!!!!
I wanted to stick around to get it catch someone, but figured it'd be bad taste...
& The camp site was filling up! 😂
🐐🐐
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Can't wait to see the rest of the videos mate, sorry to hear about your friend, hope you're all doing okay!
Random one, but if you would like a HQ .png of the logo I have one I can send you for your thumbnails, I couldn't help but notice yours still had a bit of background at the top! 😅
Ahhhhhh!!!! 🤣 This is a running joke with a Full time Urban Exploring RUclipsr!!! 😂
We were chatting at Download last year and he said for each video he posts, EACH clickbaity thumbnail takes him 1-2 hours!!! & He usually posts 3 videos a week!!!!
A few days after we spoke, we were filming some stuff for another channel & I used a 720p screenshot image for a Thumbnail & just posted it as it was, with no descriptive writing across the image or using his shocked face in the corner! He went absolutely mental!!! 🤣😂🤣😂
I've made them purposely crap ever since as a little dig! 😂
@@billymayhem fair enough then mate hahaha 😂
I'm kinda ashamed to let on how long it took me to make the png cause I couldn't bloody find one anywhere so I just ripped it from the site map 😂 2 hours is way too much time to spend on a thumbnail , just stick an emoji and a red block arrow in random places and you're golden 🤣
The thing is I totally get it as he's Pro, it's his job etc... But 2 Fucking hours man!!! 😂
We are going to AEW wrestling next weekend and I made some truly awful mock thumbnails after we spoke just to see what he'd say, and he sent me the most long winded paragraph about how I should grow up & take things seriously...🤣 Over a fucking thumbnail!!! 🤣😂🤣😂
It will take every ounce of my being to not use the shit ones now I know how much it gets to him!
Gotta love petty RUclipsr shit haha
@@billymayhem that's hilarious 😂
Well, now you've GOT to use them! 🤣
See if you can find like a Rugrats font or something 😂
@@StegWi_
Honestly man!
It might happen!!! Might go full RUclips shocked face in the next one as a dig!
I just can't stop lol
Beer buckle wicked!
I need one!!!
1st! 🤘
I didnt know that was still a thing hahahaha
@@billymayhem 😂 I'm just out of touch with today's trends...
Sorry I didn't catch you this year 😢
Always the London Metal Coalition if you want a Metal weekend down South!?! haha
I went download this year and it was shit, im thinking of going to bloodstock next year
Do it!!!
It is a million % better!!!!
It'll be the best festival weekend you'll ever have!
@@billymayhem maybe see ya there buddy
my mate started singing ira songs, the people in the next tent kicked off, because they were irish everything was fine, until hours later my same mate, went in the wrong tent drunk and it was the irish couple again, and they went mad.
It's easy to get carried away at these things!
How come ya didn’t get any sleep beforehand? Too excited? Lol
So busy traveling around, for whatever reason. everything takes so much longer when there is a time limit lol
Luv the dildo jag 😂
I think I will market those for Audi's haha
what time was you allowed to enter the car park?
Around 10 I think?
Maybe earlier
We got there at like 9:30/10 ish - and there were already loads of cars. So they let you in early doors
