Good morning everyone! Just wanted to peek in to say hello. I will post some concert shots tonight from the Chicago show on Sunday. These shots are not as close as Milwaukee but there are still some good ones in there. See you all tonight. Some great shots posted here lately (I should say as usual)
Waaaay cool Guido, things are going out step by step, I really hope the bootleg will apear for you someday somewhere, you never know! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Saturday, February 14, 2009 12:29:30 AM)

Ahhh...here is the thread in question. Thanks, Vail.
Ok. This is really for Lidija (Bev+) who asked for it years ago but my little brother just found it at Mom's house and sent it to me. A picture of the backstage pass that was my two minutes of fame.
To save all who have joined us recently, one of my most "metal moments" was being onstage with Iron Maiden during the Fear of the Dark tour. My college roomate was into college radio (where I hosted the campus "hour of power" show with the stage name of "leatherface" heh..brought in my own albums). We got free tix to go see Maiden outside of Detroit on this tour and, while walking around the ampitheater checking out the crowd, he bumps into an old friend who I didn't know. Turns out this guy graduated and was, then, working for Sony...Maiden's label at the time. Anyway, he was in the crowd looking for people to go out on stage with the band in a sort of orchestrated "fans rush the stage" sort of moment. He asks if we want to go and, leather-clad (and slightly drunk guido) wants to go! We were told to listen for a certain song (Clairvoiant, I believe) and meet so-and-so stage left. My buddy (poser, radio insider) didn't know the song but I got us to the place and time jumping all around decked out in leather coat, boots and chrome jewlery. Even was chastised by the guy who took us backstage beforehand. He actually asked if I could "maintain" for the few minutes they were asking of us.
Well, of course I said yes and we were slapped with these sticker-passes and it went like a whirlwind. In a couple of doors and out on the stage! While the rest of the 10 or so posers held back by the drumkit, I raced over to Bruce who was center stage. The look in his eyes said it all. Guido, crazed look in his eyes racing out onto the stage seemingly wanting to jump on his back. He actually hunkered down bracing for the blow! Heh... Nothing of the kind. I raced to his side, shouted at the audience who shouted back at me. Then we were ushered off. Lived off that little bit of fame for the rest of the night as people picked me out of the crowd (and signing at a record store afterwards) as "the guy onstage with Maiden!"
I am still looking for the bootleg of that night. Sadly, only guy who could verify the story was ONSTAGE with me (albeit by the drum kit...poser!). In retrospect, I should have looked for a guitar pic or hugged Bruce or something. Ah well. At least I now have the pass!
My most "metal moment" (until I met Priest last year at the meet and greet).
I'm going to see these guys this month, got tickets already. They're comming to my neighbourhood soo close, I can walk there if I want, yeah! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Friday, February 06, 2009 4:12:44 AM)

DC, maybe, just maybe this will make you feel a little better, gas prices in Slovenia:
1 gallon:
95 octane 1,187 € /l x 3,8 = 4,51 € = 7,1197 $
98 octane 1,198 € /l x 3,8 = 4,55 € = 7,1810 $
Diesel 1,298 € / l x 3,8 = 4,93 € = 7,7808 $
I live in the U.S. You are/were an independent trucker that owns your rig I gather? That would explain things a little better. Hell, the gas prices alone are enough to give that one up anyways. I know I'm having to weigh the pros, and cons of being a Dominos pizza delivery driver. So far the tips have been worth it.
Anyways, I'm off to bed, but I wish you the best with your situation.

In a normal job yes, it would be hard to swallow. But in the US, with certain occupations like truck driving, different rules apply and a paycheck isn't just about getting paid by the hour and have your taxes and insurance taken out. Unfortunately that is how it is, depending on the companies, and most trucking companies carry more bullshit than they carry freight. If you don't believe me, take a look at the truck driver forums on the web. Working and owing the company you work for because you're forced to ask for money in advance to pay the bills just doesn't cut it. Thank god the nightmare is over.

My post was an exageration, and an attempt at humor to be honest. However they did take alot of money out of my wifes 1st paycheck, and to be honest...I've made more money in tips one night than she did on a three day paycheck.
Your story, if true, is a bit much to swallow. Yeah, I'd be getting a good lawyer, and seeing what could be done legally also. Hope it goes well.

I'm expecting a certain (bleeped) company to have a class action lawsuit against them sometime in the future.
Does a $-850 paycheck make sense to you? I have lived that way for years. There is far worse out there too.

1st paychecks piss me off!
1. 3 days of training = $134
2. State tax = ridulous amount subtracted.
3. Federal tax = ridiculous amount subtracted.
4. FICA & SS = ridiculous amount subtracted.
5. Uniform cost = $15 subracted.
The final result = ridiculous amount in debt...must wait another 2 weeks, before one actually makes any money! Edited at: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 9:19:45 AM

I like Disturbed too and I also like some death (black) metal bands, Immortal for example is one of them. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Painkiller87 from Tuesday, July 08, 2008 12:13:45 PM)

I must make my confession...... I have been really getting into more modern metal(and some rock/alternative) than the old school in recent months. I have been running into good acts like Lamb of God (A freaking lot) and Shadows Fall (Redemption is one of the best songs I have ever heard) , but have been also getting into stuff like Disturbed (Indestructible is actually quite good and Ten Thousand Fists is recommendable), Weezer (Thanks to Rock Band and one of my roomates) and I am even starting to get thrown into the "deathcore" genre as well (Job For a Cowboy was the clincher (AZ pride even though they are from Glendale). There are other things as well but I'll leave them for later times. I just wanted to get this off my chest for any who are interested in what I have been listening recently.
