i was at mohegan sun for the second night in a row
i met up with dario who proceeded to give me a promoter backstage pass
and there i walked in with queensrych on stage and judas priest getting ready
i saw rob halford with shorts on and barefeet getting ready to don his leather uniform
pretty funny
5 leather jacket changes
made of various leather and plastic materials
oh yea and lots and lots of studs
huge biker boots with spurs
tatoos on his bald head
it looked like a movie about rockstars right before they went on
standing just outside of the side stage behind a curtain on the door
all 5 of them looking straight ahead, mentally preparing themselves to go into full 80's metal splendor
i couldn't help but chuckle inside
how different we are as a band came to mind
we give each other the pound
huddle up
give a quick pep talk and RUN out to stage
many other times in the evening did i laugh but it was cool, cause it was SOO arena rock
rob standing on the top level holding out a big judas priest flag
waving in the air
singing into the mic staring down
he looked more like Darth Halford, the Rob Halford
of course the best part of the evening was the free catered food:)
yumm
and lots of free beverages
coffee, tea, iced tea, soda, water, gatorade
i had it all
one last thing
zippie looks over at me, being the man, and goes i wanna wait here till the security guards fuck with me
and sure enough a young cocky meat heady looking one goes up to him and gets in his face
now zippie is a BIG dude, and he's goes
we got working passes, which means we can stay...
the young cock goes, you shouldn't have said it like that, mean while we get surrounded by more security, and the heads of security in suits
then the kid goes, you should have said, lets take it outside
zippie gets right in his face...
now the security is seperating them
yelling at the kid what the fuck
and appologizing to zippie like as if he was rob halford
aawesome
what a fun night
