Didn't quite pull a Jack Bauer today but pretty close... Up at 5am for the early pickup to get over to the international Iceland airport. It was amazing how packed Reykjavik was with people still partying in the streets!! Took off around 9am (still pitch black out) and had a very bumpy approach into Heathrow. Noticed we were the second to last plane to land on that runway as the one after us looked like it almost landed on its wing! Collected up all my bags and then dropped them at the left luggage counter.Waited around for about an hour and a half for Nick and Matt to turn up and then we checked in for our flight to Glasgow for Bullet For My Valentine this evening... Checked into the very swanky Radisson had a quick nap and then it was off to the gig. Got some great shots of all the bands tonight including Still Remains and Skindred. Now I want to know why Skindred aren't bigger than they are. Their presence on stage was immense, haven't seen a band first on command a crowd like that for quite sometime! Even bumped into Benji the singer after the show who had the winning personality to match!!
Couldn't stop laughing for a couple of reasons tonight: while shooting onstage kept catching a glimpse of Ruskell not paying attention to the gig he was supposed to review. (pictured!) And the other was joining him and Matt on the balcony to see a kid moshing who had ripped down one of the no pushing/moshing signs holding it up going nuts in the pit!! A very fun vibe tonight I'm sure it will be reviewed well. Finished off with a little pool at the hotel and then crashed out... It was almost as fun as the Bullet show that Matt, Larissa and I did about this time last year!
