ut then, you look back at it and you start to realize, fuck, I worked my ass off! I played guitar twelve hours a day for years and years and years while everybody else went to college and did the right thing, and now they're divorced and out of a job. Everybody thought I was crazy. But you start to realize that everybody now goes, 'Man, you're so fucking lucky; you get to travel the world.' It's like, no, motherfucker! I sat down and I played guitar all day long while you were going to college taking 'How to Write an English Paper' — things that you really didn't believe in yourself. I took something that I believed in and focused on it and now it's kind of paid off. I think that there's a degree of 'Come what may' attitude. But I think people who work hard tend to be successful at whatever they wanna do. And people who are focused and know what they wanna do tend to be able to control the situation better."

Weitere Bilder findet man bei mir auf myspace, ebenso nen Video von N:O:D!

Vor kurzem schrieb mich bei myspace noch ein Marco aus Italien an, der seinen tätowierten Arm in der ersten Reihe entdeckt hatte... echt cool!
Björn hab ich ja nu auch mal kennen gelernt

Auf das Video des kompletten Konzert warte ich leider immer noch, ist aber in Arbeit!


BTW1: Echt zum Kotzen, dass man keine Kameras und auch keine Ketten (Schlüssel, Geldbörse (selbst die kurze des Portemonaies (?))) nicht mit reinnehmen durfte.


BTW2: Weiß einer von Euch etwas über die Riffengirsch-Amps??? Soll eine kleine Custom-Schmiede aus Deutschland (!!!) sein, die Pepper entdeckt hat (!!!).

Also laut einem französischem Interview mit Kirk (auf französisch) sollen die tatsächlich aus D kommen und von Pepper entdeckt worden sein

Aber fake und gemoddete Plexis wäre auch ne Möglichkeit... nur wozu der Aufwand, wenn die sonst auch ihre Marshalls zocken

Also wie bei Tallica etc.:
Interview mit James in der Gitarre&Bass: "Spiele Marshalls, Mesas, Randall und vor allem Krank!" und was steht im Rack: DIEZEL und etwas Mesa!

Down-Board: Sollen Splawn-Amps http://www.splawnguitars.com auf Basis von Plexis/800er und WEM-Cabs

Im Endeffekt sowieso lax, weil der Ton kommt immer noch aussen Pfoten!
