Great shots!! I haven't used B&W film in ages, but maybe I'll start doing that again. Eventually, I'll get my photos from Birch Hill scanned....

I thought he looked different for some reason.

Are you the asshole who threatened to kill me if I got in the way of your shots and who was generally being an annoying shithead the entire time? If not then please ignore this message.

Nope not me, did the guy who did that have two 35mm cameras and a photo album that he insisted on showing everyone? Used flash with EVERY shot he took? The guys a prick, at least I get permission from the bands/labels to shoot and rarely use flash.

That was him... I wanted to kill that fucker. I was the blond guy with glasses and the Therion shirt right in front of Russell. That dude was the most obnoxious prick I've met. When the guy next to him moved back he offered my girlfriend (directly behind me, she had dark hair) his spot but the prick yanked his little blond troll bitch up next to him instead, said troll bitch had yanked out my girlfriends hair trying to move up earlier...my gf got revenge by yanking some of the bitch's hair out. My gf also got groped by some drunk guy whom she punched in the balls.

Why do people have to be such assholes, they must grow a set of balls once they're in the middle of a crowd.

That show fucking ruled otherwise. Maybe we'll get together before their headlining show next time. Nice pictures by the way, is there any chance I can get some copies, or some .jpegs I can save? My dumb ass better bring a camera next time!

 

[Mortado]

I was the guy next to him that offered up my spot when I moved back during Blind Guardian E mail me about the photos and I'll post a .zip of some you can download when I get home from work, let me know if there are any particular pics you want.

 

[Kliffoth]

I was looking at the pics and figured it might be you cause of the angle, and you got some shots of Hansi from farther back, while dicklips stayed in the same spot. I swear that guy's a crackbaby or something! I thought you were never gonna be able to push through that crowd! LOL. Small world aint it! Thank you for your kindness. My girlfriend commented on the way home how nice you were to do so, I'll email you right away!

 

[Kliffoth]

D'oh it won't let me email you from the forum, my email addy is kcapaul@hotmail.com . I'd like all the pic's you're willing to spare me (SX especially). I didnt know you could get B&W pics on a digi camera! Nice website by the way, I'll make sure to bookmark it!

 

[Mortado]

I mailed you all the photos in one zip file. Even though I can, I don't take the photos in black and white, I just change them in Photoshop when I think they would look better than color

 

[Kliffoth]

Just got them, 1000x thank you! That was my only regret that I didn't take pictures. That show ROCKED! My voice is still hoarse from screaming out the lyrics! I'll see you at their HEADLINING tour!!!

Greetings, the show in Seattle was incredible, but short nonetheless. Did you meet the guys outside after their set? A drummer friend of mine got a roadie to get Jason out to speak with us, then a bunch of ppl showed up. He was out there by himself for 20 minutes or so, then Pinella and Romeo came out and shot the shit. Russell came out after a bit and held court outside the tourbus. All of the guys were incredibly nice and personable, everything I've been hearing has been true. Lepond was the only one I never saw. Phenomenal show, I can't wait for them to come headline. All of the guys pretty much said they are coming back on a headlining tour, just not sure if it's going to be before or after they head to Europe. There's no way I can wait. woo hoo

Hey... somewhere on the Symphony X bbs someone posted the songs that were being played during the wait before SX and BG went on stage, anyone know where this was or what songs they were? I know before Blind Guardian they played mostly Arch Enemy, but I hardly recognized anything before Symphony X.
