On Cloud Nine (Part 2)

When I stood in front of them, my mind went blank and my heart was pounding.

I decided to call them each by name and say the same eazy line to all the band members.

First, there was the original guitarist. I said "Bill, thank you for coming back to Japan. It's been 8 years!" Thankfully, he extended his right arm to me and I shook his hand! I was on Cloud Nine all over again!!

When I said the same sentence to the vocalist Jeff, he answered, "We'll be back to Japan very soon!" To be honest, I kind of doubted his words a bit. I thought it might have just been lip service for us fans, but surprisingly, he later said on social media, "JAPAN! It's happening! We are finally heading back for a head line tour next year in April! don't miss out!" Wow he is a man of his word!!

I would rather not tell you about my blunder but... I looked up the new guitarist's name in advance, so I confidently called him by name at the event. "Tom! Tom!"

But he just stared at the tip of his pen and completely ignored me. I was very embarrassed and disappointed.

After I got back home, I found a review for the show. According to the article, CARCASS performd with a new tour guitarist named James Blackford...

Oh nooooo!! It wasn't "Tom"! The guitarist had changed again from Tom to James!

Now it made sense that he ignored me.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing Bill, Jeff, and JAMES at their head line show! ...Oh I almost forgot the drummer! His name is Daniel, and he rips HARD! CARCASS is my favorite band in the whole world!
