i can only speak of my own expreriences. they were super nice and super cool to me. nikola even was shy a little at first, but then i think he got over it and talked to us for like 20 mins about random stuff like how warm the ocean water is in sweden, it was funny. but i dunno, he might have been concentrating on the gig he was about to go play or something.
and karro, you know you have met erik and mathias and both of those guys are supere nice, dont get discouraged!

I wish I was able to make the judgment myself but I still have not met the others. It's strange though. I can pretty much meet or chill with anyone I want except for Millencolin. Even Fat Mike would be easier to attain that MC.  |

Let's clean things up...
I feel no anger against them. I hold nothing against them. I am very conscious that they are human being and that they cannot please everyone. I know it's how I see things and it's different on their side.
I am very conscious of myself also and that I expected way too much from them. That is my mistake. I felt this time I needed to evacuate. I am a very sensitive person and like Chast said, most of the time I vibe people way too much like her and that really affect me inside. I also know that I tend to take things personally and that something I work on it in order to separate others from myself.
First time I met them, Nikola and Larzon were very cold to me. I have to admit it was very hard to be not dissapointed cause I had heard so nice comments about these guys for so many years that I thought they would have been happy to meet me also, one of their oldest fan and to see they inspired one of their fan in doing journalism, to see they taught everything about music by reading their interviews. I was very hard for me to face another time this dissapointment and I also got really upset when I read this topic. This is why I reacted in first place. I think I was angry at myself more and thinking that Nikola has been once again cold to me and that Larzon didn't answer me made me crack. You know most of the fan wish to spread some moment with their favorite bands. Like Chast said, it's like Millencolin is the hardest to attaint. I know I am one among another but I thought I could be one among a few cause without me this community would never have got in importance. Some of you can acknowledge it. It's also me who told Larzon about here when I first met them. See, you just need to tell that you are from here and you got guest lists but the one who made it grow didnt get what you guys got. I think I had the right to tell aloud my dissapointment this day. I don't ask you to understand, you're not in my pants. I don't ask you neither to take my side. I don't get the why of some comments above..

and karro, you know you have met erik and mathias and both of those guys are supere nice, dont get discouraged! Pat, I don't forget that Erik and Mathias were so nice to me. I don't forget how Zok was nice to me also. He did alot to help me to meet all of them, especially Mathias. Mathias was the kindest to me. He is someone that it's very hard to forget about. He was the only one that I felt he really cared about me when I met them first. From the few time he had, he took alot and gave it to me. His hand was also harmed in blood but he stayed with me nonethe'less. He was the reason why I didnt get upset about Nikola and Larzon after. His kindness worthed all the disagrements I had with Niko and Larzon this day. He made me forget about it. It would be impossible for me to hold something against Mathias. When I saw him getting out the backstage Friday, smiling and shaking hands with the fans, that really touched me. I can't help it but seeing alot of good things in these guy. In fact, he was the only one I really wished to meet again Friday but I didn't. |

hmmm, heard this song and thought of this topic:
"I know how much it means when people show they really care.
Of the value in honesty, I'm quite aware.
But still there's much in me that I don't share.
Don't have the guts to say what I think.
I'm too scared to say what I think of you."
-Hellman

I was the idiot who prevented you to. I regret saying that you shouldn't go and talk to him. I guess I am too cautious. I guess I didn't want you to have to potentially face that rejection (which we already did with Nikola).

well i can't tell to much since i've never met them, i can't tell if Nikola's attitude was normal or not, for what i've seen on video/interviews, Nikola and Larzon seem to be the most quiet guys, but i guess i would have to be there to judge his attitude Karro, you gotta feel proud for what you've done here in the community and the website, you've earned the respect from a lot of persons from several places of the world and that's not an easy thing to achieve don't forget that  |

I was the idiot who prevented you to. I regret saying that you shouldn't go and talk to him. I guess I am too cautious. I guess I didn't want you to have to potentially face that rejection (which we already did with Nikola). It's not your fault. Don't feel guilty. You know, 99% of the time someone feels guilty she/he isn't for real. You're guilty when you want to intentioanally harm someone and in this case I know it was because you love me and you care about me. You're not the reason why I didnt walk up. Don't worry. I told myself "I'll wait for them getting out of there" but they never did so. I missed my opportunity by deciding to wait instead of going ahead. You know what is funny? Yesterday, I went to my friend's place and there I met Mike. At the end of the Night I asked him where he worked. He answer: Hippodrome. I said "ummm...and then I guess you got backstage?" He said "Yes, but I didnt use it and I found anyone to give it to". I told him that I tried to get backstage there but I didn't succeed. He told me: "If I would have met you before friday, I would have give it to you for sure. I'm going to give it to you next time. Where is the next one?" I said: "I don't think the next one will be at Hippodrome but thank you." This time I found the situation very funny. Also, I learned this night my other friend was doing a set at Warped with his band.. Too bad I dint know before. Another missed opportunity...hehe That only remember me of 2002 Medley. 2 Months after the Medley show, my best friend started to date a guy who worked at Medley and told us the same thing: "oh if I would have met you before I would have gave you guest list for Millencolin!" hhahahhaha Am I always that late? I guess so. Anyway, this nice one provided us guest list for Lagwagon, AFI and Strung Out. See, everything happens for a reason. I guess everything has its right time to happen. |

Hey guys, Larzon answered me today. I've just seen it. He said that he couldn't access Internet that much recently and stuff. That was very nice from him to tell me what went on finally.

That was very courteous of Larzon.  As for meeting Millencolin, at this point I am convinced I'll never get to meet the rest of the band. Why (insert question mark..I can't figure out my sister's keyboard) Every single time I have come so close, there was always one little obstacle to prevent me. It's weird. I first realized this back in 2001. I had a backstage pass for Edgefest and there were certain bands I could meet. Millencolin wasn't one of them. Over the years, there were times when my friends have bumped into them at bars or or in areas near the venue in Montreal. Even one of the girls that hung out with us and that strip club obsessed band, told us that she "got to stand on stage for Millencolin." I've met my fair share of bands. At my first show, I got to go backstage, stand on stage for Face To Face's set and then got to sit around in their dressing room and have good conversations. This was back in 2000 and I had no idea what they sounded like or who they were. Think about it. How many people get to do this at their first show? Not many. It makes me really think. I didn't starfuck my way for a pass. I didn't know a single person at the show except for my friend. We had zilch. She was 14, I was 16 and we certainly didn't seem like the kind of girls a band would invite back there. Forgive me, it's late at night but it has brought me to ponder as to why I got a pass and not someone else who was a bigger fan. I've done merch, I've played roadie in training, I've been the drinking buddy, I've interviewed and I have photographed bands. I can have all the connections in the world and still not be able to meet Millencolin. I find it pretty funny, actually. But I can accept it. I can accept the possibility of never meeting the rest of them in this lifetime. |
