Hi Tumblr

It's been a hot minute!

Just an FYI - I've moved to TWO new blogs which definitely won't be as active as here in its prime.

capricorn-trash-x.tumblr.com - new main/personal blog. More of less similar to this one but a bit more mature and suited for a 30 year old and doesnt have my posts from when I was sixteen on it

eyesoftrash.tumblr.com - a place I'm in the process of dumping all my concert pictures (well decent ones...) to keep them together. Its set up to be posted via queue and there's a bit in the queue already....

If you're still here and want updates - go to these two blogs as I won't be active here.

It’s been years since I’ve posted and have moved to a new blog but if I didn't post about Joey I would never forgive myself.

I can for certain say that my life would be very different if it weren’t for Slipknot. I would have no friends, no confidence, and Slipknot is how I met my boyfriend (2008 Slipknot show).

He was my idol. I picked up drumsticks because of him. I’m not very good but that isn’t the point. Because of Slipknot, my music taste exploded in the metal side of things and I have made tonnes of friends that I would not have had the confidence to do so.

When I was a small child, I had no friends. I was the “weird” kid in primary school who no one wanted to hang around with. When I first heard Slipknot, I decided they’d be my friends. It was 2006. I was 12. They didn't personally know me and I didn’t personally know them but I felt comfortable when I played their music on repeat day in day out, The music they put out, especially Slipknot, Iowa and Vol 3 was pretty much played on repeat from 2006 until the end of high school, and I still play these favourites today. It helped me get through the day. My peers may have judged me and hated me, but Slipknot didn’t.

I’m not going to lie, I was fucking pissed when Slipknot dismissed him in 2013, and got even more pissed when I dug into it. I hope they all found peace before he passed. My thoughts go to his family and friends. I’m a random person on the internet but also please respect their privacy at this time

RIP Joey Jordison. April 26, 1975 - July 26, 2021.

Hi Tumblr. I’m selling a DevilDriver ticket for the Perth show on the 28/8 as my boyfriend can’t go. If you’re interested please message me on Instagram (miss.maddy.x) as I won’t reply here. I want $40 for it and won’t take less. THANKS GUYS.

Ten. Fucking. Years. Ten years since my first ever concert. Like most people my age, Slipknot got me into metal and was my favourite band when I was a teenager. Had to beg my mum to let me go and it was worth all the begging, even the detention the next day at school! Even though the shirt is very well worn and I don't wear it anymore (I don't want it further deteriorating) I still have it and will keep it until I die. #slipknot #yesthisshirtistenyearsold https://www.instagram.com/p/BpjWlwOngLX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t2bcd5pep0x

Machine Head were the first band I saw live alongside Slipknot on October 30, 2008. I was 14 years old and did go mainly for Slipknot but was a Machine Head fan that night. Thank you for the memories and your music Machine Head, from me getting bitten in Perth in 2015 and now it's a hilarious story, the whole Cleveland debacle, and of course this show in July I got this (okayish) photo of Robb Flynn doing what he does best. Long live Machine Head 💔 #machinehead https://www.instagram.com/p/BoTrC1pnty3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i2t45c6zs1s0

Now playing 🎶/latest obsession. If I didn't already have an awesome Medusa tattoo before I heard this album I probably would've booked in to get the artwork of this album done. #paradiselost #medusa (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoOu65IHhAe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tphfv6btlutg

Unfortunately didn't get any photos of footage of Aborted because I was up the front having Sven scream in my face (❤) but amazing night. Got the shake Svenchos' hand and thanked him for coming to our city as well ❤ (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoA0EM0HbMd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rfck5jfxn2y4

Satyricon killed it 🤘🏻. Now have to catch the train home if you see a girl has been murdered at Cockburn Central it's probably me. #satyricon (at Amplifier Capitol) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnTw4_wFHO5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p8g3fmd54bj

I never use this anymore and don't really know anyone who does but worth a shot:

I need tips on how to remove a nipple piercing. Mine is two and a half years old, has started rejecting, fucking hurts like hell, and when the person pierced it they screwed it on WAAAYYY too tight so I can't seem to get it off without it hurting? Please help a girl out. And yes I have already tried the shower.

The Royal Wedding existed on DVD so me and my terrible drawing skills had to make it bearable. Am I still allowed to write reviews? #thesimpsons

Look what arrived yesterday! Only 11 days from Germany to Perth which is really really quick. I've wanted this one on vinyl since I started collecting them in 2013 when Veto came out and it was the second last HSB one I needed. Trying to find an original first pressing of it was impossible but the blue is gorgeous. Don't have a good camera though so can't get a decent photo of the etching. #heavenshallburn #iconoclast #vinyl (at Perth, Western Australia)

2017 was pretty fucking awesome I got to see my favourite band at the legendary Wacken festival and met them very briefly. Yes I am using NYE as an excuse for more HSB Wacken pics :) #heavenshallburn #wacken2017 (at Wacken Open Air)

When you enjoyed #wacken2017 waaaayy too much. And managed to snag up a #heavenshallburn limited numbered shirt so getting the shirt number just seemed like the correct thing to do. #wacken #tattoo I am aware I bleed like a motherfucker during tattoos as well. (at Get Inked at Bali Ink Studio 2)
