I was extremely excited because they have always been a favorite of mine, not just for their music, but the fact that Alex Webster is the biggest influence for Death Metal. On the day of the gig, i was walking home from work that day I ran into Alex, who was lost and looking for his hotel. He just so happened to run into one of his biggest fans and the bass player in the opening band. I had a great conversation with him and pointed him in the right direction, back to his hotel.
