So anyway. I'm backstage afterwards and this guy from one of the bands is piss drunk and talking to me and a couple of other people that were there. He notices my shirt and starts talking to me about Iron Maiden. Now, while I might not be an expert in all things Iron Maiden, I'm certainly not some poseur who wears shirts of bands they have no clue about *ahem Miley Cyrus*. He starts going on about a song in particular that I'm not a huge fan of, so I guess he figures if I don't like this song I must be some kind of shitty poseur chick. He decides to test me (in front of all these people I'd just met). "What's the drummer's name in Maiden?". My face heats up. I'm like...fuck ...the drummer? I can't remember. God forbid he'd ask the singer (Bruce Dickinson) or one of the guitarists (Dave Murray or Adrian Smith) or the bass player (Steve Harris) who I ACTUALLY KNEW...no...he asks the one member I have no clue about. So I look like a fucking loser asshole in front of all these strangers. Luckily my bf knew and came up with the name but the fuckface was like "No, no that doesn't count. She doesn't know it. She shouldn't be wearing that shirt. It's bullshit". Since the guy was wasted no one paid THAT much attention to him but the damage was already done. I felt like a tool. I later found out that he was the drummer for one of the opening bands (Dillinger 4 or something) so of COURSE he'd ask about who the drummer is...who the fuck cares about the drummer (sorry dad)?? I came up with about 250 smart comebacks to him on my way home. My bf said that the people standing with us when it all went down said that the fuckface was indeed an asshole, but STILL. I went home and learned the guy's fucking name (Nico McBrain) and I'll never forget it. No one will ever try and make a fool out of me ever again! FUCK YOU ASSHOLE DRUMMER DUDE WHO RUINED MY NIGHT!! I hope you develop carpel tunnel and have to stop drumming. Dickface.
Ps. this is the shirt in question. It rocks. Taken AT an Iron Maiden concert. HA.
