My band Widow's Walk had the pleasure of opening for After Forever on Wednesday night in Ottawa. It was a great show, pretty small venue (200 capacity max) and I was preparing myself for a scaled-down version of the PP show, but damn, they played that show like it was Madison Square Garden, the power and emotion was unbelievable.
And then to make a great night even better, we learned that the band's hotel was literally just around the corner from our rehearsal space, and so we asked them back to our jam spot for some beers. We didn't really expect them to say yes, but everybody except Floor (who wanted to rest up), plus a bunch of the crew came back with us and we had a wicked after-party until 6 in the morning! We actually set up all our instruments and had a massive jam session, we played a bunch of Maiden, Sabbath, and of course a little Final Countdown
It was an unbelievable night and the guys were all so cool, they were thanking US for inviting them! We should be putting up some pictures and maybe some videos on our site soon
