Ah my first Threshold show was Bospop 2001. A memorial day whith a great line-up Savatage (John stil singing then), Megadeth, After Forever with special guests Ambeon (Arjen Lucassen performing live....), Apocalyptica, Paradise Lost, Porcupine Three and Threshold.
Knowing some Threshold, due to Damian his guest-starring, i was quite excited to see this band. I had 3 Threshold albums, both with Damian and Clojne at that time. and i liked the music well enough.
The Festival started out quite good, i had a laugh at the Nashville Pussy Show, enjoyed Paradise Lost eventhough they were not as heavy anymore and i saw Vengeance for my first time. And then it was time for Threshold...
Threshold came up and it was my first live introduction with the band. The music sounded good and i was hoping for a good show and then i noticed Mac who was already completely drunk, eventhough it was still early in the afternoon. And Mac really impressed me with his unprofessionality that day.
His antics included ludricous stuff like climbing the light arc and trying to cross the ligthbridge, which could not support his weigth and other ludricous anthics.
I was so in aw that i had no intrest in Threshold afterwards, i've neglected the band after that and only got interested after hearing Critical Mass somewhere. And even then i had no interest in seeing them live...
And now that Damian is back i've seen almost every Dutch show since then.
