Finally gettin to see Thousand Years of Oppression and Victorious March done live was unbelievable and worth the wait. Getting to see it 3 times is fuckin priceless. My neck is just startin to feel better after goin to VA, PA, and NYC shows. I went so nuts at PA my neck was pretty shot for NYC. even though i went nuts for the usual death in fire, cry of the blackbirds, thousand years and victorious march. For those who were at those shows i was the nut sayin WERE READY TO MARCH! right b4 Victorious March was played. should of been the ender. Pursuit is not a good finale in my mind. Victorious would of been fine or As soon the world will cease to be. much better enders. but im shocked no one said anything bout VA. VA was incredible i mean for one thing it was SOLD OUT so i mean i was so happy for AA. gettin to see my songs for the first time ever topped that night. i almost blew out my neck durin Thousand Years and then Victorious march such a fun song to headbang to. the top of all 3 concerts was finally gettin my bracers signed by all of AA out back after the philly show. and really gettin to finally talk to them. Olavi was the best. He seemed to really enjoy talkin to me. I asked him if it was toss up between Down the Slopes of Death and Across the Rainbow Bridge and he said they just felt the need to do Slopes this time round but next time cause of all the demand for it, they'll play Rainbow Bridge on the next tour. And Tomasz, Olavi also said Ride for Vengeance will be heavily considered next time cause it's one his favorite songs to play. so keep hopin. I also found out from Fred that he voted for Annhilation of Hammerfest. i so would of liked that better then Eight hooves. but won't know untill the next album comes out. but so great to see AA has major success in the US. it's about time. when i get a chance i'll post my pics i know i haven't been on much but with work and other stuff it's hard to remember to come on here. I see my friend nikki from philly is posting on here now. Hi nikki, it's andrew. lol. anyways good to see ur on forum. to sum up one of the best 3 nights of concerts ive ever been to. i so wish i had the time off and money to see it again but i don't know if my neck and my hair could take it. (you lose ALOT and i mean A L O T of hair from the knots and matted mess we cause when we windmill headbang, plus the pain from pullin them out. god.) i think im done with shows for awhile.
