I went to see Lamb of God with special guests As I Lay Dying, Children of Bodom, God Forbid, and Municipal Waste May 2nd at the Pageant in St. Louis, MO. GREAT SHOW!! My girlfriend and I got to the venue around 12:30 to try to meet Children of Bodom and Lamb of God...Unfortunately the only member of Bodom that we saw outside at all was there lead guitarist Roope Latvala. He was very nice but didn't speak very good English...We did manage to meet Willie, John, Chris, and Mark from Lamb of God! This was the 4th time I've met them, but this time Chris wasn't as nice as before. I had him sign my stuff but the pen was dying and the auto on the cd cover barely showed up. I quickly pulled out a fresh pen and politely asked if he would go over them, but he said he didn't have time. They were getting ready to go to a meet and greet down the road so I know they were on a time schedule, but really there were only 4 of us getting autographs and he ended up sitting in the van waiting to leave for 10-15 minutes. Mark came of the opening band's bus 5 minutes after Chris got there and he wasn't in any hurry. He signed for me, my girlfriend, and 3 other people. We all even took pictures with him...Definitely very cool!! Got a pick from John Campbell too!
