Gigantour 2008; Megadeth, Children of Bodom, etc. confirmed

I was there. :)
And might I just add:

Replacing Bodom After Midnight with Silent Night, Bodom Night???
:D!!!

I also met everyone but Henkka. :)
yeah! I got SNBN on video, not all of it tho. and the sound turned out pretty bad cuz it was too fuckin loud when you're actually in the pit. But I was really disappointed at their set list being so short! In Flames seemed to take up some of their time...and I hated the songs they played. And their lights on stage were fuckin annoying :erk:

Btw, where did you meet the guys? I met Alexi at the tourbus during Megadeth's set. And I'm pretty sure he went off to the rainbow bar after that...




Edit: for the record, Alexi was not drunk when I met him. He did have a red cup in his hand, obviously starting party mode. But I didn't even smell alcohol on him when we took the pic.

Nice! You got a pic with Alexi. Can you post it? Hah. I'll post mine, once I get the picture developed on CD!

well....get ready to hear the stupidest thing you've ever read (if that makes any sense.) So my friend took the picture of us and after Alexi left, I looked at the pic, thinking my friend had saved it already (it was on my phone), so after I was done looking, I just closed my phone!! And then when I wanted to see it again, I realized it wasn't there cuz it wasn't saved!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel so fuckin stupid, but I guess that happens when you're excited and not really thinking? haha lame, I know.

but I'm not letting it bother me, because just the fact that I met him and shook his hand means a lot to me.

ARGGHH,. That freakin sux. There will be other COB concerts ( A lot I hope) in the future. Many other oppurtunities. The more you see him in person, he'll remember you. LOL.

haha yeah, that's my plan. But you should definitely post your pic with him. I wanna see :p

Yeah, shit happens. I wish I had met him. I wasn't exactly sure where to go though.
You should've gone by the tour buses...I saw Bjorn there also.
 
I went to the show in Arizona and it was great. They played fucking flawless, better than when I saw them before.

Before downfall they played don't stop believing, and alexi was off timing a little bit while singing haha, but it was great. Of course I had to crowd surf during downfall and the retards in front werent paying attention and dropped my ass but it was worth it.

It was raining and cold as fuck definitley not like Arizona.
 
a lot of people left during megadeth to meet cob at the show i went to. i only learned that after it was over though :( but i really wanted to see megadeth so w/e

Dude, watching Megadeth is totally better than fucking waiting outside for a while to meet someone from the band for 5-10 mins. You made the right choice.
 
Cool. So what were your impressions?
Well I had met Roope already back in November, but you just can't help but love the guy. Janne was nice as well. He walked past the first time telling us he'd be back for us. (Which we didn't believe.)
Then Jaska almost got away because only a handful of us wanted to meet him while everyone else was drooling over Alexi. We thanked Jaska for signing things and pictures, etc, and he thanked us for being there. :)
And well, Alexi was Alexi. I felt bad that he had to put up with the gayest fan-boi I've ever seen. I did tell the man that not everyone's taller than him, and he seemed appreciative.
lol.
Aw, I wish I had known you guys were gonna be there. Would've been cool to meet up or something.

For all we know we fell over each other in the mess of moshing during Bodom haha.

Nahhh, we were in the balcomy in some really shitty seats that we only stayed in for JFAC. Then as soon as we knew Bodom was coming we discreetly hopped into much better seats. :D

It was a seizure-fest.

We went out to wait after Megadeth was done. There was a bit of parking lot where the tourbusses were. Oddly enough when we got there there were still quite a few empty spots and the guys from In Flames were just hanging out.
We waited there with only maybe a dozen or so other people and met everyone but Henkka.
Alexi was so bad. His eyes had the biggest bags I'd ever seen.
He set his drink on the ground to take a picture and almost fell over on the way up.
When he went to pick it back up it was gone and he was mad for about a millisecond before his girlfriend ( I think?) said she had it.

Here you go!
The pics came out ok... The one with Alexi, I wasn't smiling enuff lol.

wow, it didn't take long for him to get drunk, did it? I'm surprised he didn't go over to the Rainbow..that's his usual spot when he's near LA.

Here you go!

very nice! Alexi seems like he was in a good mood.
 
Actually, some from JFOC and Roope, Alexi, and Janne came out! I was surprised when they did this.

Here's a pic (sorry, they were far away from me)

ah fuck i didn't even notice this, since i had hurt my shoulder i went to sit down in seats and watch the last 3 songs of the show and i thought some regular jackoffs just came on the stage, some vip shit or something, to sing peace sells with them. if i had known it was actual people that mattered, it would've been cooler and made more sense.
