Thank you very much. Very helpful. 

Hm, I'll have to count up how many I've been to. Probably not as many as twenty because I've missed a fair few, but can't be far off.

10 years ago, BMTH played their first arena show at Wembley Arena. This year, they sold out 11 arena dates and sold upwards of 120,000 tickets. They’ve never been bigger and they’re only moving upwards. They will try stadiums before long and they will do well when they do.

Good grief. Are you just having your own little debate here? That all sounds clever, but is completely irrelevant. You keep mentioning "they" as if there's a clandestine conspiracy to eliminate smokers. Sensible legislation is being introduced to phase it out. Because nothing about smoking is good. Nobody who isn't addicted to nicotine thinks that smoking is a good idea. Smokers are victims of marketing, peer pressure, and bad influences - things that tricked them into starting in the first place. And I was a smoker! Because my dad, my role model, was a smoker, and he ended up killing himself with it and my dear old gran as well. I've managed to quite, but who knows, it could kill me too. It certainly gave me asthma. So if you're not a tobacco user you probably don't appreciate how sh*tty the whole culture is, and how many people get caught up in the knock on effects. You'll get people on here saying "it's not as bad as this, it's not as bad as that" and it's probably true, but only because society has done such a good job of getting rid of smoking. Supporting it is a wasted effort, and it offends me personally because I've seen so many loved ones die because of it.

I feel so out of the loop when I hear things like Chase and Status are popular again and Bring me the Horizon are at their peak. I think it’s just because I really liked those acts probably a decade ago and just figured they petered out but clearly I just stopped listening to them.
