I met Necrophagist!

OMG I'm so excited! Last night we saw the Summer Slaughter tour, which ruled. All the bands were amazing to see, except Ion Dissonance.

After the show, we went around the back of the Hawthorne Theatre. Quite a few metal heads, roadies, etc were wandering around. I really wanted to meet Necrophagist. So we meandered around the tour buses until I found a spot in front of their bus. A guy was standing there waiting as well, he says to us, "Yeah they are right there in the bus, see?" and he pointed to a small slit in the curtain where you could barely make out a guy's figure there. They started to come out of the bus and I immediately moved toward them. I got to meet all 3 of the main players in the band, especially and most awesome, meeting Mohammed the lead singer/guitarist. We asked him about his new guitar, the zyphos, we talked about how they will have a new album next year, as well as a new summer slaughter tour. We told him to use the Roseland next time, he said he would try to change venues, it will bigger next year anyway. It was so great to meet them, shake their hands, and tell them how amazing their music is. I was so excited and couldn't contain it. In fact, we were so excited we forgot to ask them so many questions we've had the last couple years while we've been obsessing over their music. But we did let them know its the second time we've seen them and that we drove 5 hours just because they were the head liners. THEN! I got my picture with him!! Woo hoo! In addition to that, they invited us to go to the bar with them. We were so tired and it was late, we had driven 5 hours and then stood in a concert hall at 90 degrees for 7 more hours. Sitting in bar sounded like crap to me. I would have loved to spend more time with Mohammed and ask him more questions, but I am not afraid to wait until next summer to talk to them again. They were totally approachable and completely open to answering any questions we had. Just amazing guys to meet and talk to. This has been one of the greatest experiences in my life. Thank you, Necrophagist, for being THE most BRUTAL band out there!
