What’s up Butcher Crew!? Since more and more tours are being announced and I will be going to a lot of shows, here, soon, let’s go through the thoughts, feelings, and phases that one will go through when finding out, attending, and leaving a show. I go through these moods for EVERY SINGLE SHOW and I’m sure that you have gone through these phases, too. What shows are you looking forward to this year? What feelings do you get when attending a show?

*Sees that a tour has been released, instantly freaks out when you see the tour is coming close to you, and you automatically post it on social media*

I have done this wayyyy too many times with the caption of the show being “YOOOOOO”

*you go to Facebook, find the event page and click “going.” Then you see who else is going, and try to make a plan to ride with your friends*

We are in one too many group chats trying to figure out where we are all going to meet and who is driving. It’s very stressful because no one responds in a timely manner, and then all they respond is, “Wait, what are we doing?”

It’s a day or two before the show, and you post the show on social media again and tell people to “show up or they’re whack”

“if you don’t go, you’re whack.”

It’s the day of the show and you and your buddies are driving to the show jamming out to a playlist that you made of the bands setlist that you found online at setlist.fm

Have you ever been in a car where everyone is jamming out? No? Me either. Some people are “too cool” to violently dance and punch the ceiling while driving.

You get to the venue and you’re outside j-chilling with your friends when more of your friends pull up and you are all juulin’ and boolin’

Even though you saw them at the show that you went to a few days ago, you still greet each other like you haven’t seen them in years. It’s a rule.

You get inside the venue (after getting X’s on your hands because #underage) and now you’re ready to RAWK!!!

*Violently walks around the pit hyping everyone up*

The band that you have been waiting to see comes on and they play one of your favorite songs, and you forget how to act.

You lose all control of yourself and you just go wild because, why not?

The show is over, and you and your friends are bruised up, tired, and sad that you have to go back home.

This is the saddest part of every show because we all have to go back to our normal lives.

A few days after the show, you post on social media how much fun you had and remind everyone that they were whack if they didn’t show up.

This is when you start seeing people post pictures of them and their friends on social media even though you took a picture like this with the same people last week at a different show.

You see another show is coming through your city and you freak out and repeat this process all over again, even though it’s only been a few days since the last show.

It really do be like that sometimes.

I go through this process literally every time I go to a show. I have no shame and no self-control. Who’s with me?

Stay Metal,

What’s good Butcher Crew?! I hope you all are well. Since I am your Master Butcher, and butchers wear butchers aprons, your Master Butcher has different types of aprons for different occasions. These aprons vary depending on what type of show I am going to. If I am going to a hardcore show, I have a certain attire that I wear. If I am going to a rap show, I wear something different. This is what I mean by aprons, because your Master Butcher can adapt to any situation. So, when I am in my Butcher Shop, depending on what I am listening to when I am chopping, stretching, or hanging bodies, I use a different apron.  

Hardcore Apron 

My hardcore apron is flannel, over a hockey jersey. I will usually wear Vans, here, because they’re easier to two step in. This apron is very loose fitting because of all the arm and leg movements I do when I mosh.  

Metalcore Apron 

This apron is very form fitting because I wear it with very skinny jeans. It is denim and faux leather. I will also wear my Vans with this apron because push pits consist of a lot of running so, we have to be prepared for some exercise.  

Death Metal Apron 

Now, this one is the real deal. This is one of my favorite aprons because it is primarily leather, with a hint of denim. But this is my most brutal apron because it also has fish net! I wear it with my combat boots. When you see me with this apron on and my combat boots, you are subject to a beating (if you didn’t get my Dying Fetus reference, well, you’re going down the Slot Drain).  

Deathcore Apron 

My deathcore apron is very similar to my hardcore apron because it is mostly flannel, but it also has denim on it as well. It is basically a combination of both my hardcore and death metal apron. I will wear my Vans with this as well because sometimes there is hardcore moshing, and other times a wall of death. Either way, ya girl is going to be prepared.  

Classic Rock Apron 

Let’s be real, this apron is covered with patches – AC/DC, Metallica, Tool, Pink Floyd and many others.  But also, it has LOTS OF DENIM, DENIM, DENIM!!! And, best of all, it looks like a vest! 

Rap Apron 

Now, I do not wear this apron a whole lot because I like staying in the metal scene. But I have gone to some rap shows and although I do keep my metal attire a theme in all my aprons, this one mainly consists of rolling papers. Do I really need to explain why that is? …Didn’t think so.

EDM Apron 

This apron has never been worn you guys. That needs to change. BUT if I were to go to a rave, this apron would be perfect! It’s very bright neon colors with a lot of beads so I can trade beads with other ravers at the show (idk if they really do this but I saw people exchanging bracelets at a rave I watched on Youtube, so…). It has electrical wires – it’s an electric chair, duh!!! 

Country Apron 

This apron will probably never be worn, but if it ever is, it is made of hay. But this apron would go great with my camo crocs. Yeehaw!!

So, there you have it! Your Master Butcher, The Saw’s many butchers aprons! Am I missing any? Is there more I need to add to my collection? Let me know!

Stay Metal,
