Okay, for our European brothers on this board, I'm not gonna type too much shit about how amazing this show was, but it kicked major ass. Everygrey is pretty fuckin cool, it's the first time I've heard em.
So: before the show, we were all waiting out in the cold rain for like 2 hours, and one of the Evergrey dudes was walkin around outside talkin to everyone.
Then, after the show, Janne Wirman was downstairs talkin to a few of us for a while, unfortunately 99% of the dudes talkin to him were tryin to give him their demos and shit and lick his ass and all that, so eventually, in the strongest finnish accent i've ever heard, and with a face of despair, he said "I gutta goo tuyk uh peees" so he left and never returned.
When I was about to leave, keep in mind this is all during Iced Earth was playin. I go upstairs, and there, leaning against the bar is Roope Latvala. Holy shit I said, and a few dudes around me are like "thats not him, man" so im like fuck you im talkin to him, and right when I approach him, like 20 dudes go up to him saying shit like WHATS UP ROOOOP, and that ROOOOP pronunciation of his name was kinda pissin him off, in addition to the fact that he was fuckin drunk like a mother fucker. So after these morons took up his free time by askin him shit like "how do you pronounce your name" and shit like that, they left, and I was just like "hey man I just want you to know that your the real legend here tonight, and many people dont know that alexi looked up to YOU and shit man, so I really respect you man." and he seriously was payin attention to me, man, cause i was talkin to him, about him, and i take it everyone else on this tour is askin about Alexi and shit and stuff he doesnt care about. One of the things I heard him say real pissed off was "Im not Alexi, okay?" and when a drunk guy says somethin like that, you know hes pissed.
Anyways, I know all of you have already met theses guys and shit, but to me this was a cool moment, and so I gave Roope this dogtag I had that says "warheart", that ive been wearing for like 5 years, and i swear guys, he fuckin looked like he was about to cry, he was like "no man i cant take this" and im like come on man, keep this with you to remember chicago and usa and how many fuckin fans you have here. and he took it, put it on, and i swear...i almost saw a tear. so I shook his hand said see ya and left. And I didnt ask for an autograph so i think he was happy about that too.
Anyways...the question I had was, for whoever was at that show, or for whoever has met Roope before, has he had this fat ass fuckin south american mother fucker with him that treats everyone like shit and always has his arm around him? I dont know, I wanted to kick his ass. And for the record, Im 270 pounds and Mexican, so im not dissing fat guys or Mexicans.
