PP XII quotes

Just remembered one from backstage at Mid Week Mayhem

Brent gets a text about Portnoy leaving DT. He goes to Blabbermouth reads the quote to everyone and then (being Brent) falls on the floor laughing. The singer from the band says to Ross the Boss, "I have to cancel the show now, I need to go get on the internet."
 
Another funny one from the Seventh Wonder gold badge show ...

Andreas is playing acoustic guitar and after the song throws out the pic. Tommy says "Look at the bass player, throwing out pics now."
 
Templeofmax,

Yes, Glenn made that comment over the P.A. It was made in regards to how he felt that next year's lineup is the most diverse lineup in the history of the festival.


Stay metal. Never rust.
Albert
 
Though I didn't make it, I feel like this deserved.

Greg (General Zod) via text message to me, during a conversation about next year's lineup and the official interviews:

"If I'm not interviewing Warrel, there will be blood."

Oh man, forgot about this. Yes, Bill Hudson sent me a text and said, "I need you to yell that Mike Portnoy left Dream Theater, and give me a call and let me know about all of the grown men crying after you do."

I HATE Dream Theater, that should be no secret, so yes, I did fall over in Ross' dressing room laughing, while Swordlord was kicking me in the spine because he loves them. It was a great night.
 
Mike to me after the Wednesday night all day Thursday whatever-the-fuck-it-was-puke-fest:
I thought you were going to die in our room last night!
Me: That would've been death Metal!

A requote "That's Ok I don't know your wife!"

On trying to find people who knew Dave (RIP), "Yeah, cause there are so many tax collectors here at ProgPower!"

-I hate all this glitter on me! I feel like Edward the Gay ass Vampire!

Wim and Guy of Oceans of Sadness talking about staying in the US for a couple of extra days:
Me: So what are you going to do with the rest of your time in the US?
Wim: Buying an iPhone apparently.

Tijs and I singing Ice Ice Baby in the Vinyl.

And my favorite:
While haning out with Oceans (Duh) my cell phone goes off. The ring tone is an OoS ringtone. The entire band stops and looks at me. I excuse myself and come back. Wim says, "Hey I heard about you! You probablly know our songs better than we do!" Of course I felt like uber fan geek, then Wim asks, "Can you send that to me?"

I've got a few more that I'll post later.

I can understand how that may have come across as funny with no context, but I was right behind it. Nathan said the first line (he was being funny) from in front of the barrier. And someone we'll call Mr. Grumpypants right in front of me (about three people back from the barrier, center) said the second line.

Through the first few songs Mr. Grumpypants continued to count Michael's mistakes (conveniently ignoring mistakes made by the permanent members of the band), repeatedly gave Michael the finger and some sort of little dainty hand maneuver which I wasn't sure about, as well as made disparaging comments to him.

A few of us made some comments of our own and finally Mr. Grumpypants' better half convinced him that the two of them should leave. The next day I ran into Michael and he thanked me for my part in getting rid of that guy. lol

That is fucked up. I am guessing the "dainty hand maneuver" was an attempt to imply that Michael was gay (which I doubt that he is). Hmmm.... Got me thinking though. I wonder if this was ol "Mr. Negativity", our 'one-hit wonder' from that one Kamelot thread? However, I did see where he posted in the "unofficial first impressions" thread and did give a somewhat decent review of the Kamelot set, so it may not have been him. But still, whoever it was, that is just plain wrong and disrespectful.
 
Another funny one from the Seventh Wonder gold badge show ...

Andreas is playing acoustic guitar and after the song throws out the pic. Tommy says "Look at the bass player, throwing out pics now."

And I actually got that pic! It's one of Johan's (naturally) but it's pretty cool that Andreas used it.
 
Drew: I hope your hair is wet because you showered, not from sweat.
Me: I just washed my hair. In the toilet. With bloody water. And rinsed with 2000 Flushes. That's how I got my hair red and blue.
Drew: Awesome.

-He was 22 months and when we got him to the hospital and when we asked what he wanted he said, "beer".

-Hey Excuse yourself! Our keyboardist is the philosopher and farter. He farts Philosophy!

Wim: Why does everyone keep buying us beers?
Me: Because you are in a band.
Wim: But they won't let us by one back!
Me: Its a sign of Respect here.
Wim: Want a beer?
Me: Sure!

Was the fountain thing Seventh wonder? what happened?

About 530am after the Saturday show, there were about twenty or thirty stragglers left in the Artmore courtyard. Now, people had been dipping hands, feet, and legs in the fountain all weekend, but all of a sudden a couple of tall skinny guys (who will remain nameless) wearing nothing but colourful skivvies and swim goggles came dashing out of the back entrance and plonked into the fountain up to their necks for maybe thirty seconds. They got up, saluted all of us, and ran back in.



...at least they had underwear on! :lol:
 
I'll be damned if I can ever remember these quotes after the weekend is over. I need to start carrying a voice recorder, so that every time I hear someone say something particularly funny, I can ask them to repeat it for posterity. :)

One from Saturday:

Drew: "For Biffle, every year is like his first ProgPower."
Me: "Yeah, and also every ProgPower is like his 21st birthday."
 
...at least they had underwear on! :lol:

I guess that depends on who you are asking. I wouldn't have minded the nudity... then again though, with how closely they were swimming, I'm sure they didn't want the teabags to simmer on each other.

Oh yeah another one:

"I'm thinking of sending Lady GaGa an email and telling her her outfits are so ProgPower V."
