Deftones + Far. Wulfrun Hall, Wolverhampton, UK, 1997. Incredible. Visceral. This was, I believe, Deftones first EVER UK show. It was three weeks before the release of their second album, Around the Fur, so they treated us to several new songs. Far were excellent - this was the first of three times I saw them. My friends and I were converted and followed Jonah Matranga's career with One Line Drawing and then solo (at 2000 Trees a few years ago). What I remember most vividly is what this Kerrang! article describes: Chino diving off speaker stacks seemingly endlessly, losing items of clothing each time. At some point, in disbelief, I managed to get this ticket stub signed. #onthisday #gigdiaries #ticketstub #wulfrunhall #wolverhampton #deftones #far #chinomoreno #kerrang (at Wulfrun Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjYeu7hr6sG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This was an amazing show. I believe this was the first show that made me feel a little old though (my over-30 energy wasn’t able to keep up with the rest of the kids in the crowd 😅) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJFKQSvl7ui/?igshid=k44jkw91svp5

Avenged Sevenfold + Black Tide + bloodsimple. Civic Hall, Wolverhampton, UK, 2008. On this day – for the first time, I think – I saw Avenged, AX7. They looked chavvier than they sound 🤣 I'd got into them after hearing my housemate play City of Evil on repeat at uni. Around this time I'd only heard City of Evil; I wasn't familiar with their first album. One night at The Planet (dirty metal club in Wolverhampton) I asked the DJ to play Avenged. He gestured that he was. Right now. It was Unholy Confessions and clearly it reminded me enough of AX7 that I wanted more! #onthisday #gigdiaries #ticketstub #avengedsevenfold #blacktide #bloodsimple #civichallwolverhampton (at Wolverhampton) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnpmLdTr9sZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Coal Chamber + Human Waste Project. Wulfrun Hall, Wolverhampton, UK, 1997. Mm, loco! Coal Chamber were the very definition of nu metal to me, and teenage me loved it. It wasn't complex, but they just did this simple, fun music. This was the second time in six weeks I'd seen Human Waste Project but no complaints about that! #gigdiary #ticketstub #boughtthetshirt #coalchamber #humanwasteproject #wulfrunhall #onthisday #1997 (at The Halls Wolverhampton) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmScAcXoJK-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
