Hey gusy,
As of recently ive been having alot of family trouble at home, and its really getting me down, so if ive come across as blank or just a general downer on peoples mood then im sorry, and im not as active on the boards either cause my mind elswhere, but one thing i can say is a few people have really been supportive to me and id like the thank them!!!
You know who you are 
And what has been taking my mind elsewhere is Trivium.
I listen to Shogun every day oin the bus, at home, in class even, and its the only thing that takes my mind off my problems and into a better state, even if its just for 5 minutes.
But yeah so if im not around much thats why just wanted to make sure people dont think im going off Trivium, never going to happene...ever!
So thats about it for now
Thanks everyone,
Scott m/

As alot of you know i went to Triviums first gig in Manchester of the Unholy Alliance tour, so here goes....
Met with Chris, Keiran and his girlfriend Beth at the train station, and we then walked a few miles to the Apollo theater, and were were the first ones there, so me n Chris decides to go n check the busses out on offchance we run into some people...dont think i need to name them huh ;)
But no such luck, just Slayers gear gettin unloaded.
So then we waited from 11am all the way till 5:30pm to get in the venue, and it was great to finally be in some warmth, but i was still pretty cold haha
Opening band were just noice pretty much, Veils i think they were called. Then Amon Amarth were on, and they were better than i thought they were gonna be, some pretty decent tunes there. Then was Mastadon, and also these guys put on a pretty good show, really weird tunes but yeah was pretty good.
Then it was time, what we'd been waiting all day for.....Trivium!
So we waited patiently while watching Ken test the guitars which was great, they sounded fucking incredible. Then the chanting and booing started, but then all te Trivium fans pulled together and just kicked their ass 
So, the lights go down, then on comes Divinity, then the adrenalin was flowing real good haha! Then the intro to KG and Travis pounding the crap outta them drums............then they came, Matt, Corey and Paolo charge out into position, literally 2 feet away from me, at one point during the show Paolo reached the headstock of his bass out to me which was awesome, and he was doin some other pretty crazy shit like jumping off stage and running around haha what a legend.
The setlist was the same as the one in the US tour plus Pillars Of Serpents and Throes Of Perdition!
Im not gonna write too much detail about during the show cause you all know how it feels ;)
The set ended with Matt coming and handing me a guitar pic which someone knocked out his hand, but i got it back in the end
So then we go to get in the meet n greet, and some bitchy woman turns us away and starts shouting at us cause we didnt have the green bands as they were late getting to the box office, se was being really nasty haha . But Melissa pulled through and came to get us which was awesome of her, Thanks alot Melissa...oh and Luke, he helped too haha
So, got in the meet n greet, and i went right to paolo and he reached across a table to shake my hand haha, said he saw me rockin out on the barrier, which was awesome to hear
Then i went in persute of Matt, and these two girls were hogging him, so i just stood near him and a few seconds later he spoted me and came n gave me a sweaty hug and he said "aww hey man, fuckin saw you signin every word on the front row, it rocked" and all through the show he kept glancing over at me haha and i pretty much had one of the buterflies in the stomach things when he was talking to me, and i got a snapshot with him, my Hero, well theyre all my hero's, but y'know 
Then me n Chris went to talk to Travis, such a down to earch guy, really awesome to speak to him. Then i needed to get to Corey before they kicked up out, so i found him at the back of the room and he was stood drinkin and making funny singing noises haha 
It was really awesome of the guys so sign all my 5 album covers and my ticket, cause it was quite alot i suppose, but they were awesome and all of them just said "holy shit, you got em all haha"
Then time for a group photo, so me n Paolo shifted these big tables that were in the way so we could all get in on the shot :)
And thats pretty much is, as all that happened in about 7 or 8 minutes untill the venue security kicked us out, assholes, the band didnt want us to leave you could tell, cause the first few times the guards told us to leave they ignored them too hehe
So on the way out i managed to get Corey and Paolo to sign my poster that Carl gave to me, (thanks Carl )
And thats pretty much the whole day!
Chris, Keiran, Beth, Carl and Luke, wanna say thanks for an awesome day, was great to meet you guys and were definitely gonna do it again!
The best show ever, so brutal, so much energy, tons of crowd involvment, and thats what makes Trivium......THE best band on this planet, big thanks to Trivium for that AMAZING show!
Thanks for reading
