Columbus, Ohio 11/13/09

Guess you figured out how to use the camera? Nice work John. It only took a few hundred tries, but you got it. Thatta boy.

We woke up in Chicago with only one thing on our minds: Kuma’s Corner. All other issues were null and void, it was time to put down a burger the size of a sub-compact car that was named after a metal band. The only problem was that being the idiots we are, no one thought that we were going to lose an hour when we got to Columbus. We were about half way through a plate of pulled pork fries when Cary mentioned it to us.
You read that right. Pulled pork fries. Say what you will about the mid-west but they are not afraid to throw some pork around and I, for one, give that two thumbs way up.

Back to the story, so with the added hour our new arrival time was now 9:30, and since the show started at 9:00 a panic came across the table. Luckily, they hadn’t plated our food yet so we had them throw it in some to-go boxes and made a mad dash for the freeway. A big thank you once again to Luke and all the Kuma’s staff for treating us so well. You guys rule!

We rolled in just in time to load on to stage facing one of the rowdier crowds I’ve seen in a while. When Valient Thorr came on they almost tore the place to the ground.
Aaron’s mind was blown.
We were lucky to get out alive.

    Excellent show that night. If you make it back to Columbus (and have any say in the matter), then you should play somewhere like Skully's or Newport. It's actually possible to see the band play their instruments instead of just seeing their heads. Buying your CD now...

What We Did For Our Summer 2013 Summer Vacation: Part Duex.

Okay, where were we? Slayer. That’s right. So, after all the craziness that was the first couple weeks of the tour we finally settled into our digs for the rest of the tour and met our driver Jens: Things you should know about Jens: The man can drive his ass off. You don’t want to eat his hummus, or he will kill you. If you’re a promoter that ripped off another band he was working for who happens to be at the show he is at, you best find a ATM because he will shake your ass down for all that loot. (Did that make any sense? I don't care.) After a quick bro down with him, we made our way to Interlaken where following a night of hanging with some road homies and watching some Rammstein… Wait, I have to say something right now. I, like a lot of people out there, have never given a good goddamn about Rammstein. Never got the allure. But after watching them live—HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I couldn’t tell you what one of their songs sounds like but their stage show ...

European Headliner Part Three

You know the saying better late than never? This post very well might be an exception to that rule for the following reasons: 1)    I lost my camera and all the photos on it. So I have to use whatever is on my phone and John and David’s photos. 2)    Since being home I have had more beer poured on my face than a corpse at an Irish wake and remember little to nothing about the last couple weeks in Europe. 3)    Compared to the road where all there is a van full of dudes that I don’t really want to talk to after a couple weeks, at home there is a couch and cable to distract me. 4)    I took no notes about said last couple weeks because: 5)    I am really lazy Wiesbaden, Germany 4/27/12 I remember this place! It was an old slaughterhouse turned venue. Those rods on the ceiling are where they would hang the carcasses.  This is going to be easy. Winterhur, Switzerland 4/28/12 I got nothi...

What We Did For Our 2013 Summer Vacation: Part One

Hey there world, it’s been a while—over a year. I know that a lot of bad stuff has happened out there since my last post and I’m sorry, I did not realize that this blog was the delicate thread that held the world together. Now I know and I’m going to try my best to get back on the horse and start really blogging about the important issues that you, the world, crave. Such as the regularity of our farts, and whether or not Bryan’s socks look like a well steeped tea bag. Because then and only then will you, the world, be able to relax knowing all that is important is, once again, available with the click of a mouse and feel free to kick your collective feet up and tackle this whole North Korea thing. But you have to understand, maintaining this blog is not as easy as it used to be for me. You see, now that we are international rock stars with up to 100 people showing up at every show, my duties with the band have changed. In the olden days (back in the early 2010’s) the world was m...
