Band Members: Who's Nice and Who's a Dick to Meet

They are that band everyone used to be friends with, and once they got big they stopped being the same people. Very shit-don't-stink band now.

I don't know about that. A few years ago, yeah for sure, but I think people should give them a bit of a break there. They were young dudes, barely out of their teenage years in a band that was quickly rising in popularity. I think most people in that situation would be a little cocky. From watching various interviews throughout the years and even meeting them once, it seems that they've matured in recent years.

They aren't Trivium shows, they are local shows in Orlando he goes to because he lives there, which is what makes his actions more asshole-ish. And while I may have come off dick-ish, they had already been assholes to me back in 2005, and the drummer was the last on the panel of the meet n greet, which was full of a "ugh-another-fan-thing-great" Trivium. So twice I'd meet them, twice they were horrid, so it was my own sweet victory against a band that had wronged me as a concert goer.

Plus it's the fact I went out of way each time to even see these people, so thinking I should be thankful for getting conversation out of someone seems wrong. I should feel grateful that I person I have approached at a fan meet up says words to me?

Well maybe when they get back on home soil they go back to being "we are too big for you now," because that's all I have ever seen from them.

Yeah, Byron was a complete doucher and I met him of 3 separate occasions. Same thing for Benji from Skindred. And Dave Mustaine.

Hell yeah he is! Went to one of his book signings, and made comments on my friend's Randy Rhoads shirt. Guy is killer!

Or they don't like Florida, which we have all come to terms with here.

I met everyone from Fleshgod Apocalypse yesterday. They're all really cool guys. They all signed one of the shirts I bought.

And I got two photos, one with the guitarist/vocalist Tomasso Riccardi and the bassist Paolo Rossi, and the other with the drummer Francesco Paoli.
