Cheers and Jeers Thread

You would have heard it less if some asshole wouldn't have stolen all of my cds I had created for the overhead PA off the mixing board on Friday night.

Wow! That really sucks! I'm sorry to hear that. :( In that case, shame on them! :mad:

Thanks for addressing the technical issue.
 
Next to the VP fiasco my biggest gripe. Cruising thru the lobby all night Sat. and not once seeing anyone there. At least leave a jar and some signup sheet and contact us later. Waiting for them to post on where to go to order it now...and hoping the price won't go up because THEY weren't there.:err:

Thank GOD! I thought I was the only one who was having this problem. That was REALLY REALLY frustrating and unprofessional!
 
Cheers:
To all the bands that played, especially Pagan's Mind, Freak Kitchen, and Primal Fear.
Seeing old friends and meeting some new!
Kristy for finding a great place to stay for the UMOS crew. You rock girl!
Jon Oliva's special set on Wed.

Jeers:
VP not making it.
Even though we stayed at the same place, hardly seeing Kristy?:erk: Sorry KB.
Leaving for Talladega after the show on Sat. o_O
The worst goes out to the asshole that couldn't hold down his liqour and came running into the mens bathroom puking. Hitting me and Wheezer in the process.:puke: You are lucky I only hit the wall instead of you.
 
Seems to be a trend. I also got one of those, and at least one other gal has mentioned it, too. :lol: What a sweet man. :)

LOL... see, that's the funny thing about musicians... if *I* were to walk around kissing women at ProgPower, people would go, "What a weird guy." Also, I'm pretty sure I'd have a permanent handprint on my face. :lol:

The difference is, you're not that good-looking guy that the women have been staring at and listened to for about an hour... :)
 
I had nothing but cheers for the whole weekend for things that could be controlled. I wont even go into the things I didnt like since they have said a thousand times over.

BUT there was one jeer and that goes to guy sitting behind me during Pagan's Mind recording it on his phone. I couldnt really tell what he was doing til I noticed that there was some kind of green sound wave going across his screen. I then got a crew member and he hid the phone so you couldnt see it. I then got a security guard when I saw him doing again and he just told him to stop. On the third time I caught him the security guard escorted him out to do lord only knows what.

SO Jeers to him making me get up to help enforce Glenn's policy and missing part of Pagan's Mind.

EDIT: Also jeers to his excessively drunk friend for kicking me in the back of the head several times.

Can't believe I forgot THIS ONE!

Cheer/Jeer:
- That crazy drunk dude on the left side towards the back during Pagan's Mind. If you watched PM from the seats you probably witnessed this guy and his comedy stylings. I was in tears laughing so hard at him the whole time. Please tell me somebody else got a kick out of watching this idiot.

- I later find out he was being a real asshole to people, some who I know, and for that he also gets a jeer.

I was sitting directly across from this guy. I dont know who he was but he was about like 6' 2'' and probably about like 220 with short hair
He was jumping all over the place,
fell in his seat a couple of times,
split beer all over the people in front of him several times,
he was also doing some kind of Angus Young stomp around thing,
he was leaning so far over the seats on the row in front of him I thought he was going to fall over,
maybe it was just me but I thought the way he was throwing horns just looked funny you had to see it to really understand it

Then on saturday night I was near him and I could hear him yelling "Come on" in a british accent to kind of tell the bands to hurry up. I thought that was pretty rude whether he was being serious or not. I didnt mind the madness above because it was humorous especially when the 14 year old contemplated throwing a water bottle at him, but his dad stopped him.

You just got me laughing pretty hard in my chair here remembering that guy. You paint a pretty accurate picture.:lol:

believe me dude I was literally sitting 3 feet across from this guy laughing my ass off. When I saw him doing all this stuff it took me a second to think of where I had seen this guy and it struck me.....Powerfest 2006.

The Biomechanical guitar player at the time looked like Jeff Loomis but smaller. So for the entire set "MINI LOOMIS!!" and "BITTERSWEET FEAST". All I kind think was wow Nevermore is not here.
 
I submit that all singers must take a shower before kissing fans. Ugh, I've had some sweaty hugs and kisses in my time. Heh. Then again, waiting that long kind of kills the spontanaeity of the whole thing. And without the immediate excitement from hearing an awesome set, I'd probably push away some guy who wanted to give me a smooch on the cheek, haha!
 
Ok, did you happen to see that large latino man in the 2nd row? The one year I smelled that shit (and I DO mean shit) he was about 3 rows in front of me. I was about 3 rows from the aisle so that narrows the search down to about 30 folks. Throw out the five 98lb girls and throw out the guys who were looking around like WTF? and that leaves this gentleman. The 2nd night of that same year, this guy moved and I no longer smelled it but the people around where he sat were saying about it. The last 2 years, he's sat down in the seating area, 2 rows up. Coincidence? I'm beginning to think not. That motherfucker, if it IS him, needs smacked. I don't know how his friends stand him! :zombie:

ha! so girls dont fart according to you? :lol:
