June 22, 200818 yr A friend of mine just hooked me up with backstage VIP passes to the Slipknot / Dragonforce / Disturbed show in July. I've never had backstage passes before and I was wondering if anyone here has had the chance to be backstage during a concert before.
June 22, 200818 yr Ive gotten to hang out with AFI alot, they're really cool guys. Going backstage is pretty fun especially if you get to see the soundcheck.
June 23, 200818 yr Not a backstage pass, but we managed to meet Nightwish randomly (not all of them, just Tuomas, Marco and Jukka) outside the venue after the show was over. Actually, it was Ewo (their manager) who spotted us and called us over. (This happened before the Tarja business). It was awesome, one of my friends got a hug and we chatted a bit.Whenever I think back upon that night, I get an euphoric smile on my face, even though many things have happened since then and I wouldn't be as happy to meet them again, still, that was a great moment. "Metal isn't about violence or faggy whiny lyrics. It isn't even about who plays the heaviest and fastest. It is about invoking a sense of wonder and magnitude that no other genre can depict."
June 24, 200818 yr I would love a backstage pass to that show. =P~ I got given a backstage pass at one of my bands gigs which was a novelty but pretty much anyone was allowed backstage anyway as the backstage was an unlocked dining area with no-one on the doors, so a load of the drummers mates just came and chilled with us. Thanks Venomai for this super sig and Kwimbob for the awesome avatar!
