The apocolyptic Unholy Alliance spread inside this month’s Metal Hammer is worth the cover price alone! Well done James and Stocker for the world war III vision.

Alexi photographed backstage at the Wacken festival – Hamburg, Germany.

The rest of the bunch were photographed at the Universal Ampitheatre, Hollywood.

My Chemical Romance at Reading Festival.

This shot was taken against some black velvet in the backstage portacabin.

When the pilot of flight UA958 from Chicago to London confirmed that the ‘unknown fluid’ under the aircraft was hydraulic fluid leaking from an ‘unkown’ location, you can’t help but worry and fear for your life! Fortunately the clever people at United Airlines held all 300 passengers hostage on the plane for a further 3 hours whilst technicians tried to fix the problem before releasing us into the terminal with a $7 voucher and a further 5 hour delay!

New Hammer should be out any day soon with the ‘unholy alliance’ cover feature shot in Los Angeles and Germany. It features, Slayer, Inflames, Children of Bodom and the mighty Lamb of God.

Simply Awesome!

My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way looks to the Heavens as what can only be described as an onslaught of crap gets thrown at them at Reading! Whoever put the bill together was cruel to put my Chems on after the mighty Slayer!

‘No, seriously you can stop throwing stuff now!’

This just missed myself and Kerrang snapper Nick Stevens. Honestly who throws a Co2 canister? Then again, who threw the shoe, battery, bottle, golf ball and all the other crap that rained down? I think the average Slayer fan doesn’t appreciate the sensitive edge of Emo!After that we used the human shield method! My Chems played on and totally won the crowd over by song 3. Gawd bless ‘em!

Lots and lots coming up. Have 2 seriously killer covers out later this month and am off shooting my all time fav band next week on the East coast of the US. More pix soon!
