THE SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY + DROWNING POOL & SPINESHANK!

Okay guys before I get cracking on the Thailand stuff I combined another 3 of our recent nights out into 1 (Potentially 2) video! Straight after this was filmed, as some of you will know I got struck with Covid. Bad (Not the worst I've had it) but I didnt leave my bed for 3 days and when I did leave the house, I was absolutely exhausted! Which really sucked. Along with that, Ruby (& the guys) were struck down just before myself after filming this vid. So its been a tough week for us all. And wiped out a potential Sabaton video because of it, just due to ill health. This video was actually filmed in reverse order, the Drowning Pool night was first! and was absolutley excellent! one of the best gigs I have been too in ages! The Metal 2 the Masses thing was completley unplanned and Mick asked me the night before, so I didnt have any camera equipment with me in London to film the bands with any sort of justice (like I used to do) through a phone. But it was a great more sensible night! Jades Birthday!! It was total chaos! haha a truly great night for someone who does a lot for our group, so it was great to give back and show her that! We have 1 more video planned before the end of the year, which is Bloodstock Winter Gathering. Which as I type this we leave for the first night in London tomorrow! which is a Slipknot & System of a Down tribute night fronted by our Pal Lee (Collapse the Sky). Episodes are posted as soon as they are finished on Patreon, along with other stuff!   / billymayhem   https://Billymayhem.com http://paypal.me/Billymayhem Updated for 2026 Here's the stuff we use to film the videos I get 1-4% if you buy through the link, but it won't add any cost to yourself.
