@Joe- Yeah I'm sure Janne has his moods, they deal with stupid people, etc... but mainly I'm referring to how they were throughout the entire day. Seriously, majority of bands I've worked with or have been backstage with under professional circumstances have different personae for different times of the day/evening. When it's early and it's no one but the tour and house workers in the venue, when there's not a single fan, interviewer, label rep, etc around most of these band members act differently than they do when they're onstage or meeting fans. Some people are genuine and stay the same (nice or not) all day and night regardless of what's happening, but a lot change their tune at least slightly when it's literally an unspoken part of their job to make someone happy. No, they don't HAVE to make everyone happy. Sure they have a growing fanbase, increasing publicity, respectable status, etc which gives them the option to say fuck you to someone they don't feel like dealing with, but it's not smart. If a band's at the point where they have all these things, they've been around long enough to know at any given moment it could be over and it's best to at least make an effort to make a customer happy. Now if they're douches all the time regardless, chances are they've got their heads too far up their asses to realized they're gonna piss off the wrong person. Bodom didn't know I am/was a fan of the band, they didn't know I even knew what their names were til the very end of the night when I was done my work, had long before made first impressions, and started socializing. As far as they were concerned I was a worker and nothing more. No reason to impress me.
and yea, there is a chance I could have a problem with Vortex. Citing the fact that he and Galder tried to rape my friend while roadies pushed her fiance off the bus.
@Nikki- True, but you gotta remember the circumstances under which you see them. Not only are you a fan, but you're also a girl. It DOES make a difference when you're surrounded by dudes most of the time.
Oh!! Btw, forgot to tell you- Suffocation def tried to recruit me to be their "merch girl for the night", wayyyy after the show was over in NY... when I answered their "who are you with?" question I heard the "oh fuck" and "dudes she's off-limits" hehe. The initiator was a dude with long dark curly hair... if that means anything to you. I have no idea who's who in that band, I didn't bother watching them.
I didn't get home until 5:30 and I slept until 7. Here I am at work and I'm mostly ok. I'm still deaf in my left ear though which I suppose isn't too good. The ringing hasn't stop either. Its kinda ok cause my 6 years that I have today are such chatter boxes that I'm glad I can only hear half the level of noise
