Layne is dead, RIP Layne, Alice in Chains continue on... I was just reading a post over on blabbermouth about the gig the other night, some people make me laugh... Anyway, here's a shot that I like from the Scala gig... As I've said, one of the best gigs I've been to in years... Alice in Chains totally rocked Scala and everyone I spoke to about the gig totally loved it... I was the singing photographer mentioned on the Alice in Chains website and hell, I'm proud of it...
Remember the scene out of Singles, the movie... Where it cuts to Alice in Chains playing "It Ain't like that" on stage? That's what made me love the band...
Here's the one from the movie...
Here's another one... man, what a song live... amazing...
Thoughts for Friday...
Old Skool version (Filmed on VHS!) of "Take me to the Hospital" by The Prodigy
I saw these guys crank this out live at Wembley earlier this year - after so many years, The Prodigy still smack your bitches up and have all the diesel power you could ever want...
Here's a recreation of a photo I took at the gig, edited by Paul (really, very) Smart!
Well - It's FRIDAY! I have a "down" weekend, no gigs to speak of and a bit of kitchen planning, car researching time on my hands - I have quite a bit of editing to do, including some jazz shots that I took at the "Three B's" show at Indigo2 - "The Three Bs - Acker Bilk, Chris Barber, Kenny Ball"
Now, on to more important topics... #followfriday - This is where peeps tag other peeps in their twitter feed...
Sometimes stating why someone should be followed, but generally it's a suggestion by someone for other people to follow someone else...
I thought I'd list a few on here today... In no particular order!
@bigcrustyape - Best Mate and an amazing photographer
@maxamphoto - All round good bloke, photographer, insomniac
@hedgewytch - Little computer geek minx
@fwump - Services to photography and one half of photographywired.com@_disco - The other half of photographywired.com and a genuine, lovely fella

Well, that's an interesting list, and by no means definitive.
Just some different people that I see / interact with regularly that you should perhaps give the time of day.
I'll leave you with a song, one of my favourites and, quite meaningful to me...
Colin Hay, I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You...
