Worst experiences with bands

When I get some energy I'll tell the tale of offending the ex Cradle of Filth drummer and forcing Aborted to give me and my mate free shit, but right now I just can't be arsed.

I haven't had any bad experiences, really.
Although I haven't been to many shows, either.

Henkka from CoB is super crazy nice. He posed himself out on stage for like 40 seconds waiting for me to take some pictures of him, and i was kind of climbing a speaker because i'm ridiculously short, and he gave me his arm to grab onto to boost myself up! inbetween songs he said "you better have gotten some good pictures!" It was cute.

I managed to catch only a few big bands like Slayer, Kreator and Napalm over here. Every one in Slayer just walked by the crowd who, purposely stayed back after the show to catch a glimpse of them despite the fact that all of us might miss the last train back. But among the four, only Araya smiled. The rest just had an emotionless default look on them.

The Napalm Death guys are fucking friendly, especially Shane when you buy him beer.

Haven't had any bad experiences. My best has probably been with the guys from Shadows Fall- I've met them a couple times and they've always been great, and are always willing to hang out after the show and have a beer or a joint.

I met Metallica when I saw their bus was broken down as I was driving my school bus. Stopped and offered to help but some kid named Bart drove off with the bus instead Metallica went with some old dude who slept with Lars's grandmother and they told me never to come to their concerts again I was so so sad :sad:

What about bands from your local town?

Well here we've got bands ranging from down to earth humble to rockstar wannabes. The sad part is, the really good bands are the humble ones while the moderate, if not total crap, ones have high noses. It's really weird because these bands are only famous here and in the South East Asian region, but they act like they're on top of the world.

Forgot about this. I'll type it at some point soon. Even if it ends up being like 5 lines long I still have to put the effort into typing what I'm thinking, so I'm not doing it now.

Good experiences:
Dream Evil - nice guys, talked to Fred for a bit then apologied to Mark Black for wearing a "Where's Gus?" t-shirt to the show :lol:

Bob Catley - what a nice old man

Bad experiences:
Municpal Waste's roadie pushing past me to get the stage and spilling my beer down me....yeah I nearly pushed him over, the fucking prick. Never felt let down my a band face-to-face but then I've not met that many.

This has worked for me a few times. I've bought In Flames a round on two different occasions and they were more than happy to BS with me for awhile. I also bought Tom Englund from Evergrey a beer awhile back and he bitched at me about how Throwdown got more play time than they did.

Worst experience I've had that'd fall into this catagory'd be with Alestorm's parents. While piss drunk they made their way the the area to the side of the stage where all the gear is kept by the other bands. The end up spilling beer all over the place, over amps, guitar cases and what not, and one of their dad's tried to fight with one of my guitarists.

To be fair to Alestorm they apologized and basically went "WTF?".

hm, only met two bands, Chimaira and Spineshank, and they were really cool, especially the former.

I talked to Rody when I saw Protest the Hero and he was cool. Haven't had any bad experiences with bands.

Atilla is the only polite member of Mayhem.. The other one's are douchebags. High and mighty cunts. The same goes for Shargath of Dimmu. Good lord.

That's because Mayhem's hasn't produced a good album in the past 15 years.

Nah, Tam and I have a mutual understanding that I think he's a dick and he thinks the same about me

. Supposedly Scott (the keyboardist) is gonna be playing with Askival now though :S.
