My EPIC three days in London!! - Cool tales to share!!

Postby origamikid on Sat Feb 21, 2009 11:58 am

Sup everyone, i am back from Ricks all safe etc... and looking forward to Preist tonite however i slept funny this morning, hurt my back and am finding it difficult to walk...fuck...

Anyway i had a great time in london, ricks house was awesome. We had thrash metal, B-movies and fried chicken so its all dam good :D

Nice to meet everyone and all the forums. Tom, John, Jamie, Mike von Fury, Zurab, Spencer, Katze, Faraz, Gama bomb dude, James, Torso/lewis, and some more people im sure but i cant remeber...

BUT i have a tale!!!

Overkill/Exodus/Gama bomb.... i am supposed to have a press pass/free entry for the gig. But after a huge fuck up no press have accreditaion except for like 2 people so i am outside with no ticket and its sold out, We have this organizer whos going mental cause she didnt know that the killfest tour was being bannered under the hellfire fest thing....So basically i said to the person "i have an interview with Overkill at 6, if i can go in let me do that and then i will leave". After her putting it off for ages i was just like "go downstairs or backstage or whatever and ask someone and you will see that i have a fucking interview with overkill that i am not missing". So after some words are traded and using my persuwasive-ness (eg: "go fucking do it")

she comes back saying yea thats fine.

So i go backstage, said a quick hello with Holt from Exodus whos a really nice guy and then Bobby comes out to meet me :D... what a fucking legend. He was really enthusiastic really freindly. Was like "hey man, where you wanna do this? we can do it here in this office or on the tour bus where i can fucking smoke? " so off to the tour bus, but not before i got introduced to the band and of course he gave me the ultimate question : "hey man do you wanna beer?" so me and bobby blitz wen with stella to the tour bus (which is proper nice) and we chatted did the interview etc...for about 40 minutes i think i got to spend with him. Hes hands down one of the nicest guys i have ever met. He has awesome stories, hes proper funny and hes just...so genuine.

Anyway after the interview he goes "enjoy the show man" and i replied "oh i would do but you heard about the fuck up with the press list, well i was part of that so now i gotta go home"

<bobby> "Go home? no your shitting me"
<me>"no really man, its sold out now"
<bobby>"just give me a second then"
at which point we go outside and he calls some women over and he goes
<bobby> "hey i want you to get my freind in"
<women> but...its sold out
<bobby> I dont care, walk him in.

So at that point i got a photo with him and DD came outside so i got one with him aswell. I then got walked in the front doors and essentially got in for free cause i couldnt use any of my camera or anything. So drank so beer, enjoyed exodus (singer is jerkoff tho) and overkill were in-fucking-credible.

SO yea thats my story. I met bobby blitz. went on the tour bus, had beer with the man, and then he got me into the gig for free hahahha thats what they get for fucking up the press lists ahahaha

yeah,when he called everyone "fuckin cocksuckers" for downloading their albums i thought:at least some people are still checkin Exodus out.also theyre watching you live so have paid to be there.what a peni-plasty he was.and he kept spitting everywhere like a 12yr old does to act hard.

anyway,nice one again to Origamikid,that must have been such an honour and one of the best luck changes ever.

:-k im gonna try and blag my way into meeting rock legends soon...

Someone who was on the last exo tour told me that they spend ALL the money they make from gigs on hard drugs, so... Needles to say...
