Another world


The MAYHEM Festival is one of the Summer US Festivals. There are several festivals like this one, that go through America, making 40/50 gis in july - august.
For example, the site of this one is 2x the "Eurockeennes de Belfort" or the "HellFest" for our french readers. Everything's bigger here. The bottle of apple juice. The toilet paper. The people... and of course the festivals.
It's fun to be in the VIP place and see Dino Cazares (FEAR FACTORY) here, Roy Mayorga (SOULFLY) there, Ray LAUZIER, the new live drummer of KORN over there ("really calm and cool", said Yohan), and of course, the guys that played during the fest, Robb Flynn & Dave Mac Lain (MACHINE HEAD), the guys of UNDEROATH (really really intense and true on stage !!!)... and all the guys, 2 meters high, with the beard of ZZTOP and the belly of POPA CHUBBY, with tattoos and sunglasses... This is America !
Ross, there, was seen as a half-God. Everyone was trying to talk with him, hug him, joke with him... It must be hard to make the difference between honesty and opportunism, when you're that famous. Especially in that "metaaaaal" sphere.
Thank him he helped us to survive in that strange huge world, made of decibels storms, expensive cheeseburgers, HxC skinheads, devil's children, old porn stars, and well well well organized security people !

Dites moi messieurs est ce qu'il est prévu un peu de video avec l'album qui va sortir de cette session d'enregistrements?

Je veux dire making-off (oh la vache je parle anglais) ou même un clip?
