As Graspop Metal Meeting 2024 fades into memory, it’s time to reflect on one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life. From the performances to the near perfect organization, this year's festival was nothing short of awesome for us.
In this Episode
Our Arrival, Car Trouble and the Weather Rollercoaster
As the Patreon subs will of seen, Our journey began with the now expected video start of car trouble! But took another twist-upon the boys arrival, We were greeted by a relentless downpour. Those Belgian skies opened up, turning the festival grounds into a muddy battlefield & they shut the car parks, with strict advice saying not to go! We we're fearing the worst at this point, let's say that! (And still in the Pub) But decided we had enough back up plans to actually make things work regardless.
My lil Goth Princess Ruby , navigated us perfectly against the stormy backdrop & we were still optimistic about actually getting a spot to park.
Aston, ever the optimist, actually made the most of the rain, while Bartek, true to form, managed to go missing just as we were setting up camp. Joe, our lovable and LARGER than life friend, kept spirits high with his infectious stories and endless supply of actual spirits (oh and he managed to rugby tackle me in the Mud during my LIVE interview on Belgium TV 😂)
Conclusion
Graspop 2024 wasn't just a festival, It was me Ruby and our mates Aston , Bartek , Joe , Matthew , Samantha , and Jade creating memories.
These memories we create both on and off camera will resonate with us for life ya know? And I'm so glad you guys live through this with us too! reminding us why Graspop is a pilgrimage for Metalheads like us from around the world.

I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing with the editing it's all winging it and learning as I go! So a massive cheers!
🤘🏻😎🍻
@billymayhem I've told you a thousand times. Just stay the course it eventually pays off (ironically as proven over past few vlogs being judge at Battle of bands final or this vid with press pass)
And with it, your skills & production improve.. because you're enjoying the process (as hard and frustrating it can be) the rewards are better 😎
It was an absolute blast meeting you during Graspop! hopefully next year I can also find Bartek because as always... he was lost.
Thank you for coming to say Hi!!
🤘🏻🖤🍻

Can’t agree more! I watched your video on Graspop after Download 2023- so I thought I’d give it a bash. It was just insane. Organisation was amazing. Bands were insane. Venue was unreal. Cheers for recommending the festival. I’ll be going next year!
Thanks for watching and I'm so glad you took the chance! We're all still missing it so much!! 😭
What a palava mate but did I expect anything less 😉 can’t wait to see the madness and how it all unfolded dude. 😉🤘🏻🍺
It definitely escalates into chaos pretty quickly let's say that!!
Struggle to find the time to do anything nowadays!!
🤘🏻😂🍻
@@billymayhem look forward to seeing the chaos and carnage it’s worth it though mate 😉👌🏻
Damn , missed you , better luck next year ! Thanks for the video's , can' t wait for the next episode .

Gene can properly party too! Haha caught them a few times over the years & yeah, he's well alright! I miss when he had the old Mercury Riots lot as they gelled so well on stage, no idea why they parted mid tour!
😔
But at least he's playing again!
@@billymayhem crazy!

Might catch you at ac/dc 🤘
@@CheddarPaul

Good old Astoria!! 😂 One of the very few Gig T-shirts that have lived that long & still fit! (I was a medium at the time & bought an XL as that's all they had!) But yeah when they played Bother I was front row crying 😂
Such a star struck little man haha
@@billymayhem Oh dude me to that ONCE I HOLD OOOOON part that venue was all in that night. Fantastic and one amazing show!

Thank you!!
🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻
Ok for context this was the first time I’d ever driven abroad. We are driving past a crossroads and we are priority billy goes and this woman pulls out from the junction between me and Billy. Slamming on the breaks a horn and a lot of swearing later I was a bit shaken up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That was scary shit tho man!!
Thought you were going to hold the record for the shortest road trip through France 😂
did not see you on Graspop 2024 , maybe next year !
We'll see you there!!
🤘🏻😎🍻
"All Belgium is is roads and dead trees!"
Having just driven through it again today on route back from Pitfest, I actually thought to myself "Joe is right" 😂
Hello campsite neighbour, it was a pleasure to meet you guys and I‘m looking forward to experience Graspop again through your perspective!
🤘🏻😎🍻
I'm sure it'll bring back some happy memories!
Or at least help fill in the gaps 😂
Joe is funny guy needs to be careful tho lol
He's a pro mate! Ha
🤘🏻
We got this brother 😂
Joe is Streatham boy!
Maaaate wouldn’t be one of your videos if it didn’t start like that 😂
It's becoming a theme isn't it?! 😂
Hey there! Great vlog man! Question: have you been at Brutal Assault in Czech Republic yet?
Ahhhh cheers mate!!!
We definitely want to check that festival out! Any tips? 🤘🏻
when is the next one
I haven't even Published this one yet mate! 😂
It's only set to Unlisted for the guys to see if they are happy with it first! Haha so I'm impressed you found the link!
Haha
@@billymayhem okay hi from australia down under
@paulhamilton1736
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Oh I forgot about the new censored vids. Shame you have to do that Billy
I know right?!!?
Even the censored ones get flagged for a few days and I have to appeal 😞
The uncensored ones are on Patreon though, so at least I have copies of the really fun shit! 😂🍻
Im curious to know how u managed to get Press and how does it work
Work in the Media & Apply!
😂
I know it well but you have to go to Alcatraz in Belgium it's the biggest for metal
We all want to go, the problem is it clashes with Bloodstock in the UK and thats where all of our friends go 😔
Maybe next year we'll make some big decisions! 🤘🏻
No are u from Cardiff. As u have FUEL ROCK CLUB T-shirt on
Joe got there by accident, he was trying to go to Hastings, and somehow ended up at Cardiff castle...
😂
A difference of around 200+ miles and totally different directions! Haha
Have you ever considered getting a car that works 😅😅😅😅
Where's the fun in that?!?
😂😂😂
@@billymayhemThat reminds me- remember to charge the booster pack for pitfest 😂
@@RubyMirandaxo
😂😂😂
I'll do that tonight!!
@billymayhem it's like your determined to find a car that's shit and perfect for festivals 😆
@petershortland478
Pretty much nailed it!
😂
