🤘🏻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.
☺️
TH-cam:
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 TH-cam 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!

- No Faked footage!! All opinions are real & I turned down some amazing sponsors for these to keep it unchanged & as real/honest as we actually are. 🤘🏻
- Anything you want to contact me about privately/not in the comments my there is an Email in the Bio.
-Thanks for reading this & Watching! It means the world to our little group of craziness that you'd come up & say Hi or whatever. We are all real approachable people! 😂 We all exist in real life & you'll never be tuned away. Really appreciate the feedback!
🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻
It's really cute how you show you and ruby and call her princess I think it's lovely
She deserves the world!
🖤
I remember it like it was yesterday!
I luved megadeth my favourite of whole weekend was at front right by barrier ❤
04.30 i set my alarm at 05.00am left early because the rain mon morning 😂
For tradition, I'm hoping for a part 10, with the Bartek tent repack, (Bartek2 the new element ), and I understand if not. Bartek screeching like a velociraptor was priceless! 😂😂😂🍻🤘🤘
There's a part 10 haha 🤣
& Yeah he's definitely getting better at the tent thing!! - (keep in mind he's only ever had that style of tent for 15+ years)
& Yeah getting home was a mission!!!, Not quite Download bad, but eventful lets say that lol
And should say, me & Ruby went to the Natural history museum yesterday & all I could think about was Bartek singing that song 🤣
All the best to you and your's mate. That could not have been easy to see the festival out. Peace.
It was insanely difficult mate yeah, I'd go through patches of like being perfectly okay & distracted and then either remember it or have to discuss with another friend & re live it over and over. It's really played on my mind since, and I know it will of hit the others so much harder than me...
Have 1 final Video in this series to go & yeah another motorway breakdown!! haha
🤘🏻😎🍻
🐐🖤
🤘🏻
Always enjoyable billy so so good keep it up . Sorry for your loss. Was upsetting. Keep strong.
🖤🖤🖤🖤
Just walked past you in NHM. Was too shy to say hey to you both. Hope you had a great day
Ahhhhh No way!!! 😂
Please do come say Hi next time if you wanna 🖤
& Yeah we had Wrestling yesterday for Me & a Museum today for Ruby, not quite sure what to make of it tbh. So much seemed super dated...
How'd your day out go?
Yeah we took the kids, I wasn’t really into it , hubby and I got more excited seeing you both 😁 as long as your trip was great overall though. Will definitely come say hey if we ever bump into you again 🖤
🖤
🤘🏻😎🍻
Good vlog guys. May vyte party hard up there, he would have 100% wanted you guys to carry on the party. Its not good bye its see ya later
Cheers mate!
🖤🖤🖤🖤
Bro, how did you eat nothing until this point?? Mind... blown...
@@jhsageman
Constantly smashing the beers & whiskey mate!! 😂 I ate more "Rennies" than actual food! Haha
nice KK's Priest 😵🤘🤘
They were pretty cool!
Rippers voice is absolutely incredible! It seems effortless 🤘🏻
@@billymayhem it truly is, thank u for making these videos🤘hope to see you someday at Metaldays or Tolminator 🤘🤘
@@RazorHeadX2
I'm sure this will happen!!!
We'd probably drown at Metaldays though!! Haha 😂
@@billymayhem nice to hear🤘don't worry, just bring floaties and leave your car at home 😅🤘
Great video again. Hopefully Joe returned! The picture of his butt he messaged me still makes me uneasy lol.
He sent me the conversation, I literally couldn't stop laughing! I'm so sorry he did that, & props to you for being able to take a joke!! At some point in the future, you'll get an apology on camera 😂🤘🏻
@@billymayhem Lol, that is funny. No need for an apology!. Me and my mates do similar things. I'm always happy for a wind up.
I would of seen KKs Priest but was chaifing badly underneath, a girl in the opposite camp had some Sudocream so I was ok for Megadeth thankfully! We were playing drinking games in our camp before Megadeth too and my best mate screamed bloody gore when as a dare he had to see what was under my kilt! I was right at the front in the pit for Megadeth they were a HUGE improvement from seeing them at 2017 Bloodstock
Talc powder!!! Joe swears by it!
& Megadeth are always good, this was a cool set too! 🤘🏻
It has to be "Biluby"
I'm just not sure!!!
😂
Love the tattoo ruby! If you don’t mind me asking, what is a heratic?
Thank you lovely. 5 hours of pain , worth it. think of the slipknot song the heretic anthem... 🤘
Someone who goes against popular opinion... a nonconformist.. It goes deeper for me but my views would probably get me banned from TH-cam, so I'll leave it at that 😂🖤
