Part 3: After the Gig [ 1 / 2 / 3 ]

Backstage I again met Nikola. There were also some other people just hanging around or waiting for some Prodigy autographs, including also the supportbands. The very least I wanted to of course was to seem annoying to The Prodigy guys (obviously) Cause you dont wanna look like some annoying stalker or some shit like that. I just thought, well, you got a pass, why not just go and look a bit whats happening ;P. The first happening then was the power beeing first cut off in Prodigys 'dressing room' (which was a tent) and then in the whole backstage area... darkness. Well, they could solve the problem after a while and I soon found myself talking to Kieron. I asked why he didnt play the guitar anymore for 'Their Law' and 'Firestarter'. He just said: "well, I just cant be bothered, you know. I just love my drumkit, and since its the last show for a while it doesnt really matter" . He later also told me about his own new band called 'Happy Gilmore' where he would play guitar and sing, but next to it still play for The Prodigy. I also got to know from him that the gig in Korea (1st August) with RATM did actually never take place, although they travelled all the way there! Reason: a hurricane had blown away the stage!

The Prodigy make some fans happy

Later, when all of Prodigy had left their tent , I got the chance to talk to Maxim about his Solo Project, and told him that I really liked his 'My Web' EP. "Really? Did you buy it?", he said... ermm, yes, I said and then asked him if that was true with that 'Grim Reaper' white label.

He started laughing "yeah, that was a long time ago....." So I asked what was on it. "errm, very GRIMMY music" he said and Keith next to him, laughing :"..that no one would ever buy...."     (I actually would.....)

 

Nikola and The Prodigy, Leeroy is also having fun ;P

As weird as it may sound now, Liam really confused me again by asking me, if I dont wanna take some 'backstage pictures' for my website, and of course I did, and later even had my own picture taken with all of Prodigy... (a really 'fan-ish' thing to do, I know, but it just had to be done!)

(the pic on the left side here isn't me tho! one day i'll put mine online too ...)

 

Well, all my thanks go to Nikola, Christo @ NMA and The Prodigy for making this such a cool day for me!
