This is a goddamn awesome writeup (part 1) on Florida Death Metal. Really well-written, and there’s some awesome gore mixed in there as well. Give it a read, it’s worth it. Here’s part 2 if you really enjoy it (you will).
True story. One time, after the Roadrunner United concert in NYC, I saw Glen Benton on the street demanding a kid share his pretzel with him. True story.
I am very excited about this. Almost 3 years in the making, the live RoadRunner United concert will be released as a DVD. I went to this show in December of 2005 at the Nokia Times Square Theater here in NYC, and it was totally killer. Being able to see so many of your idols from one’s early days of metal fandom was extremely awesome and almost brought a tear to my eye.
If you didn’t make it, then you must get this DVD. The combinations of various metal gods on stage together were so intriguing and unique, you will quickly realize that you are witnessing something truly special.
The show kicked ass, but I have to admit the highlight of my night was watching Glen Benton troll his way out of the venue, and pester a few fans for a bite of their sidewalk pretzel. No joke. Verbatim, he said “GIMME SOME OF THAT PRETZEL.” It was unbelievable.
