Don't blast me saying this should be in the other thread. I only knew a few songs before last night and AA made a HUGE impact on me at the show. I just wanted to express it here and show my story.
Well last night I saw the AA/COB show in Vancouver.
I got in during The Pursuit Of Vikings so I watched the rest of the set and then went and had some beers in the beer garden during the beginning of Trivium. My friend was in the coat check and told me to go "over there" So I did and low and behind Johan is signing autographs. So I went over and started shooting the shit with him and we discussed metal and he signed my ticket and I was asking about their travel and how they like it. Johan told me that they were travelling in a rent-a-van and they had to drive it. That's horse shit I told him and he laughed and said "Yeah, that's what we get for being at the bottom of the pile"
Anyways, I asked him if he had any CD's for sale at the merch and he told me they did, so I went and bought the newest one (I didn't have it yet). When I came back he was gone though.
So I left the building during the 6th CoB song. I wasn't really interested in watching them anymore and I wanted to talk to Johan more. So I went outside and waited for them at their van. I bought a case of beer earlier and I had 5 left so I saved them for the band. Anyways, eventually a couple guys came out and I shot the shit with them, they signed my CD and what not. And Johan came out and I said "Hey, I bought the CD I asked about." and he said "Oh shit, I want to sign it." and he dropped all the shit he was carrying and signed the CD right there. So we went back to his van and talked some more and then I got everyone elses autographs and they left for Portland I think.
Anyways, I just wanted to say AA made my night. I really wish I had gotten a shirt too but the CD and experience of meeting them did it all for me. Thanks guys and I have 100x's more respect for you guys. I didn't even care about seeing CoB after meeting Johan. Thanks
I have much more love for AA now than ever before!
