Hey there! Long time, no update...i know. and i'm sorry! but i've been doing plenty of things in the meantime, i promise!
some of you might still be keeping up with me on facebook and twitter, or on Psychotic Reaction Radio every Saturday night. If you have, and even if you've followed this blog, you all know I became really fond of a band called Sins of Motion.
Today, SOM released a new music video for the first song off of their upcoming EP,  titled "Mom (I'm Sorry)"

✎ ＲｅａｌｉｔｙＣｈｅｃｋ✔－Hairbanger's Ball

finally got to Glam-out tonight to see this awesome 80's tribute band, Hairbanger's Ball. I'd heard of them but i'd never seen them. I had been thinking about going, but since i've been short on cash, i decided not to...then, my best friend messages me and invites me since her BF had free tickets! so, that was both unexpected and awesome. She even dressed up with me! her hair and her pants matched and she had on a red leather jacket, it was rad. you can find my outfit on my Twitter.
     The band was awesome, they have 3 different singers, one guy and two girls...and the girls were so adorable and could actually sing! I'm not too into female vocalists, but I loved both of them. I love that they didn't just have the female vocalists singing girls songs too. The girls sang Def Leppard and AC/DC! they sounded awesome and looked great! The male singer, who goes by "Sakk Wylde" definitely has a set of pipes on him too, he was great and the ladies definitely loved him in the audience. me and Valerie noticed when he came down to the audience, some of the ladies in the crowd definitely tried to grab him. According to their Instagram, this is Sakk's "fairwell tour" and we were the 3rd stop out of 4 :( that made me kind of sad! This was my first time seeing them, but i'd still see them again even with Sakk leaving. I'm one of those people who are really picky with covers, so i pay attention to the smallest details (especially in guitar solos) and they are definitely a top-knotch band. no wonder they're considered the best Tribute in the nation!

#RANT - I Love MetalSucks, I Just Hate Their Comment Section

As i go about my usual day, one thing I do is read the MetalSucks blog.

Once in every blue moon, i leave a comment (on the actual site, not usually on FB) and then i disappear again. Now, the writers themselves, i really like. Axl is my favorite, though i've noticed a lot of people hate him...especially because today, he spoke against racism in an article about Phil Anselmo (Pantera, SuperJoint Ritual, Down, PA & The Illegals)

I read the article, and of course I was a bit heartbroken because I remembered last year during the big debate about the Confederate Flag, we seemed to be on the same side. I believe another MetalSucks writer Sergent D posted what Phil & Others said in his article, also speaking against racism and recieving the same kind of backlash.

I haven't read the comments on the actual website, yet. the ignorance i witnessed on the Facebook post was enough for me (i'll embed the post below so you can click it if you want)

We've let the racist remarks of Phil Anselmo (Pantera, Down, Superjoint Ritual) slide for far too long.

Posted by MetalSucks.net on Thursday, January 28, 2016

Phil Anselmo has been called out by not only guy that took the video at Dimebash, but also Metalsucks who's mentioned that this is not the first time he's said something like this. Phil didn't apologize, said it was an "inside joke" about drinking white wine, to grow thicker skin and to go pick on someone who has a "realistic agenda." Don't know how I feel about that.

But that's beside the point...my main point is that all year round I see metalheads online completely ignore the presence of POC while also denying that there is any racism in the Metal scene...

✎ ＲｅａｌｉｔｙＣｈｅｃｋ✔－1st Update of '16

  Hello, Internet! ...Miss me? 

i figured i owed you guys an actual update, it's been MONTHS.

but it's also been a bit rough for a while...my life is just  it fell apart. 
Since the year has started, i've felt so low and i'm still trying to get it all together,

thankfully, i had a good day yesterday, so i'm feeling more like "me" again.

Lemmy Kilmister & David Bowie: From the POV of a Young Biracial Rocker

within less than 30 days, we've lost two huge rock idols,

first Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead, and yesterday, David Bowie.

Both died of cancer shortly after their birthdays, 

and both of them had relationships with black women.

that struck a cord with me.

got those badass shoes for like 6 bucks on eBay...total steal! super stoked on this stuff, i love it all.

holy shit, i met Gabriel Garcia

so...this happened. wow.

i've been waiting for that since i was like 15,

15 year old me and 22 year old me are very happy about this.

he's so nice...after the show, he was pretty close to me and i was struggling to find words to say to him, because i have a tendency to say really dumb shit to people i think are cool haha

so, as i'm slightly ready to give up,

he comes up to me and he's like "hey, i saw you singing all the words down there, that was pretty cool, wanna take a picture together?"

my heart was like "lol c ya" but my brain was like "YAAAAASS"

i'm fucking stupid and i was shocked so i just cover my face with my hands because it was less inappropriate than literally running away , then held it together for just long enough. haha thanks to the innocent bystander who took the picture for me!

The first time, the flash was off, so that picture is the second one.

i was nervous (like i said, i have no filter) and i'm just like "do i look crazy in that picture? i usually look bad with flash, please don't lie to me haha" 

they handed me my phone back and Gabe's like 

"Nahh, we look good "

i swear that shit echoed in my fucking head haha

i also found out he's only a few months older than me, i told him i'd been a fan since 08, and i was like 15 then. he asked how old i was now, i told him 22 and he told me he was 23. man, why is he so fuckin' cool?! 

random photos from today

♫♪ #SundaySounds: The Cruel Intentions

 For those who don't know yet, Lizzy DeVine is back in business with a whole new crew!  If you were a fan of Jackass or Bam Margera, you may remember his former band Vains of Jenna, which Kat Von D said was her favorite band on an episode of LA Ink. Lizzy left the VoJ in 2010, then i didn't hear much about him again until about a year ago when he'd been playing with Chris Young down in Brazil and sang/appeared in Bastardz's music video for "Let It Fuckin' Roll."  I started following him again after that, and then finally The Cruel Intentions are facebook official as of April with a single and music video released. They just released their second single "Stare at the Sun" on the 17th, and if you haven't heard it yet, here you go!
