Want to know what I really hate? All the shit this man gets and the rest of the band. If you don’t know who it is, it is Ben Bruce from Asking Alexandria. People call them cunts, say they don’t deserve everything they have, they call them a joke, but none of it is true. They’ve earned to be where they are now, they took a risk and moved from England to America and put 100% into the band. Yes, they get drunk A LOT, but they’re such lovely people. Before I met Ben he followed me on twitter, I have sent him countless messages telling him I’m upset and on the brink of destruction, every message I’ve sent this man has sounded pathetic but I sent them when I was in a time of need, and every time he replied, even if it was a few days later. He wished me luck on my exams, he told me to “stay happy” and that the band care about me, he’s done a lot. Simply telling me to “Stay happy” has made me re-evaluate everything. He probably didn’t realise that most of the messages he sent me saved my life. In February I wrote him a letter telling him all the things he has done for me and how much I appreciate him and the music the band makes, I gave it him at a signing and he sound so appreciative and it made me so happy, James, Cam, Sam and Danny were extremely lovely too, saying hello and asking how I was, I was crying my eyes out and they were just so genuine and lovely. Then it was time for me to get a picture with Ben, he gave me a hug and while he did so I told him how much he meant to me and he hugged me even tighter and promised to read my letter, Asking Alexandria just mean everything to me, so please, when I say they’re my favourite band, don’t call them cunts because they’re really genuine and sweet people.
