Yea, he was really sound. I was a spaz talking rubbish. I told him that I'm a teacher and he asked me about it, when I was going he said "give my love to the kids". (!) I told him that Vulgar Display helped me get through lots of hard times (like teaching college , I got a hard time from lecturers for looking "alternative" :rolleyes:) and it's a really amazing album, I got all emotional and he looked genuinely touched and gave me another big hug. We have the same birthday so we chatted about that, apparently Kirk's wife has the same birthday too. Then a luas was coming, and we were standing on Abbey St. so he pulled his body guard in front of me to protect me, and I was squashed against the tour bus.

It was amazing. I just love him so much, can't believe I got to tell him how important his music is to me.

Great story! Phil Anselmo is a legend!

Looking at your pic Chin Grin I actually know you to see from working at a place down in clonskeagh 3 or 4 years ago

Yep. I'm pretty sure you're right!

Wow, that was very cryptic of me wasn't it?

Also I'm seething with jealousy that you met Phil (Lil Kitten)! I mean I'm pretty sure I'd just try and ride him there and then.......(yes, I would go temporarily gay for Mr Anselmo.......I mean......eh heh......ahem......):o

Kilkenny city. Don't think they do metal gigs anymore though, someone told me the owner started doing techno gigs instead.

I met Max Cavalera is in disney land, California a few years back, he was with Gloria and his kids.
We had seen a soulfly gig the night before and my mate told him it was "fukkin brilliant" ........................he wasnt thrilled about people cursing in front of his kids but he was really sound.

Starflake! Everyone post your pics up!

Great pics Starflake. I hope you don't mind me saying this but the second picture of you reminds of Kirsty McColl a lot. God rest her. Here's a very recent pic of me in Wicklow. I'm not happy with it because at the time I had my eyes closed because of the flash. I know I don't look much like a metal head but fcuk it. You also would'nt think that my favourite bands are Emperor, Bathory, Paradise Lost, Saxon, Iron Maiden, Old Man's Child, Immortal, Amorphis, Dissection and Faith No More.
