Raz, pictured with one of the winning Bullet For My Valentine boys, was unavailable for comment at the time of me writing this. Which was 12.54, since you asked, six minutes before I step out to lunch. But what to have? Y'see, I fancy something hot, but can't really afford pub grub. Decisions, decisions...
The event will be screened on ITV on December 7th.

Comment
I'd just like to thank all my fans?
but
have the lostprophets even done anything this year?!?!
they've
just generally been the best
Liberty X
are Welsh?! Where's H?
Are they Welsh...
...or are they Walsh?
(a question that has plagued the mind of every thinker of our time)
PS
May I suggest chips.
They are well Walsh
Yup.
the poppies
I like them. they're from aberystwyth.
But they aren't 'welsh language' they're bilingual. And they once got booed off at a cymdeithas yr iaith gig for apologising before singing songs in welsh. which was a bit thick.
In fact I think for some of their songs they have two sets of lyrics for - one in english one in welsh.
So...
Raz is asian...I thought he was just cool.
LOL
no i'm the one on the RIGHT
shuddap
you RaZizt.
mastodon
were so good last night
SO good
they made me do a little smell
GLC
yeah but did you see Eggsie from GLC on The Weakest Link? he totally kicked arse. and he voted off Tony Wilson. and he was pipped at the post by... Fish.
Yo Raz...
YOu doing a review for that gig?
How were High On Fire and Bloodsimple?
yep reckon
you'll see
Yes
and I was eating my dinner at the time
What happened to...
...Big Leaves?
They
disbanded.. They tried to make it Big in England and failed. Half of them are now in a band called The Sibrydion.
Oh, and it's all about Mike Stevens.
Wales
really does have a crap music scene, these days.
If only we could go back to the good old fun-Feeder and good-Stereophonics days!
