Wall of Mouths

Ive got a great T? hoodie! I got it at a gig years ago before anyone really made them. Its a completely different type of material from those made today, sort of doubled over itself again and again with a fleecey (but not fleece) inside. Its so thick it takes a week to dry and then the hoods still damp! Its black with an embroidered gemil on the left breast. I love it Ive also got the zip up one from the NANE tour but my friend keeps stealing it. If you ever see that old one on ebay or anywhere, get it! as you’ll always be warm!

Sleeeping rough at Wolvo bus station?! Braver man than me!

I am no man!

Ive still got my wrist band somewhere. The ends of the ribbon are very frayed and ripped as we just knotted them on the underside and Donington is spelt wrong. I’ll try and find it and take a photo along with the other photos from that day. I remember now that we did tell one person what we were doing just incase we got murdered or something so not entirely reckless!

Donington ‘95 I was 15. Me and my friend had bought a coach package with our tickets even though we were forbidden to go. We both had these rucksacks with hidden compartments in which we hid some of those slim bottles of vodka (incase the id police were mean), lengths of different coloured ribbons and some of those rub on transfer letters from whsmith. Fully packed we ran away from home and caught the coach! The bag search at the gates was almost a bust but we got away with it. Hanging out by the back stage area we noticed that the back stage wrist bands were yellow and printed “Donington Guest”. We sat in a concrete tunnel to create our fake wrist bands and amazingly they worked. ALL DAY! It was great! we met T?, white zombie, slash etc and got loads of cool photos but the best thing was REAL toilets! Every time we needed to go we went backstage. We almost got in trouble because we kept going into the T? tent and we didnt have the correct coloured band. My friend stole one of the cardboard T? things off of the tent and posed for photos with it until someone came and took it back. During T? set was the first time I crowd surfed and it was amazing! The whole day was unreal and I would believe it happened if I didnt have the photos (T? ones signed at a much later gig) We got the coach back ok and spent the night sleeping in Wolverhampton bus station (I know!) waiting for the first bus as we didnt have enough for a taxi. When we got home our parents just thought we’d spent the night at the others house. Cannot, to this day, believe we got away with it. Ive got 8 tattoos but T? was my first which the same friend bought me for my 21st.

The longer video of loose to fit the remix I always thought was very good and ‘fitted’ pretty well. Its after watching that version that I realised how good the video actually is. The video is soooooo oposite to the album version that its hard for your eyes to share with your ears. Im pretty sure that the video was made for the remix, if youve not seen it, check it out and you’ll see what I mean.
