I've been a fan of American thrash band Overkill since 1988, I have every album, I have t-shirts, I have DVDs. I have also missed them every single bloody time they play the UK due to one reason or another.
Watching a live DVD of theirs this evening (Live at the Wacken Open Air 2007) I thought I'd check their website to see if they're playing the UK any time this year. Lo and behold they are playing in London (25th anniversary tour). One problem though, it's TONIGHT!!!!
FOR. F@!K'S. SAKE. Why does this always happen?! :(
I guess my only option now is to try and catch one of the festivals they're doing in Europe this summer...
One amusing thing has come of it. Was searching for #overkill on Twitter and spotted this:
Very excited that I'm about to see #Overkill play live. And slightly freaked to realise that I've loved them for 23 years.
Jason Arnopp? Kerrang! dude? Awesome.
Or course, I had to respond:
@jasonarnopp Gnnn! I've wanted to see them for 22 and only just found out they're playing tonight.
@Mu77ley Quick! They're coming on any minute, I tells ya.
@jasonarnopp I'm at least an hour outside London and am currently on small child duty (wife at work). Mosh for me dude, mosh for me!
@Mu77ley I will, sir. With a passion!
@jasonarnopp \m/
Overkill, thrashing like startled geese: http://twitpic.com/15b6il
@jasonarnopp Awesome. Hope they play Deny The Cross. I'm watching Live at Wacken now.... not the same...
:D
