I met the Metal God
Well, it was in a "World Of Music" Store in Düsseldorf germany.
Rob was about 20 minutes late. But that really didn't matter.
I think there were about 50 or 60 Heavy Metal Maniacs inside when Rob entered the Store with the sound of "Betrayal" in the Background.
It was kind of amazing how different the crowd was.
The youngest was about 12 or 13 the oldest was about 60 i guess. Rob was very polite and patient. He sigend everything.
Covers, T-Shirts, Jackets even a Guitar...
Now it was up to me.
Rob: "Hi" !
Me: "Hi, nice to meet you" ...
Rob smiled ...
I gave him my Covers from Resurrection, Live Insurrection, Crucible and the Booklet from the Remasters Box.
He tried to sign the first Cover ( Resurrection ) but the pen was empty ...
Rob: "KAPUTT" ( The german word for "fucked up" or "broken")
We both started laughing.
Rob: "Thats the only german word i know" !!!
Rob: "Oh, and Scheisse" ( the german word for "shit" )
Everybody was laughing ...
He signed the Covers, the Booklet, and the paper sleeve of the Limited Crucible ...
After he signed my stuff he looked at me and said:
" Thank you for comin' " and i said: " No ... I thank YOU
Again we smiled.
And then ... we shook Hands.
What a cool dude he is.
