Robb Flynn is not as nice to his fans as people say. I waited for three hours outside the stage door outside the manchester apollo after machine head’s gig there this feb, and every band member was really cool and let us take pictures and get signatures…except Robb. He just walked past the people who had been freezing their asses for 3 hours and got straight on the tour bus. He didn’t even say he wasn’t signing autographs, so we all waited for another half an hour, hoping he would come out and sign a few people’s tickets, which would have taken around five minutes at the most. But he didn’t. The rest of the band members were really great though, and Adam Duce came out really quickly, hanging around and talking to the fans for ages. It’s a pity Robb isn’t the same. Another fan said he did the same thing after the gig at Leeds, but I wouldn’t know whether that was true.

Sure, props to Fair for being cool as well, but SF isn’t that big (compared to Machine Head), I don’t think anyone would expect him to act like anything other than a normal guy. Almost all of the guys in bands as popular as Shadows Fall (or less so) pretty much hang out with the people and act “normal” (unless they are complete dicks living in a rock star fantasy world…I haven’t encountered too many guys like that thankfully), I don’t think Fair’s actions are unique.

No, he’s actually sort of right…you can barely hear Metallica, which is kind of strange..it’s especially strange because you would assume Flynn is very close to the action…

Have you ever been to a concert… at all ? If you scream loud enough directly in people’s ears, they can hear you over the music, so I guess the same magic happens when yelling at a mobile’s microphone… Now get the fuck up and get a real life.

Why is it quiet enough to hear each other talk at a Metallica concert? I’ve never been to one, but it seems like they should be…louder.

yeah it’s always cool when the bands aren’t afraid to meet real people. Luckily, most of the shows I go to are at small local venues and the bands are almost always around chatting with fans.

Dear Rob-

Glad you had a good time headbanging at Metallica shows.

Your band still fucking sucks.

Love,
TJ

Not to take anything away from Rob, because that’s incredibly cool (if my band had worked hard for years and got to open for Metallica, I would be sure to milk the experience for everything it was worth, too), but Brian Fair is also known for getting out into the crowd and moshing with other fans at shows on a fairly regular basis. Also, you don’t have to stalk the band at the buses or other places at the venue or the hotel, because he makes a point of coming out before shows, walking up and down the lines of people waiting to get in to the venue, and talking to anyone and everyone who’ll also make the time for him. He’s totally accessible, from what I hear, and reportedly makes it a point to come out from the VIP area from time to time so he can enjoy the total show, too. Not a lot of artists do that, and I understand why from the perspective that sometimes people can’t manage to be cool to them.

Anyone here can be cynical all they want, but I happen to think it always cool to hear about the pros who don’t let the experience of doing music a for a living kill the simple pleasures of why they supposedly do what they do to begin with.

Robb is one of the coolest nicest most generous people i have met. The first time I met Robb he hung out with us a watched Heaven and Hell and enjoyed some RJD poses. there is no one bband etter to their fans from Phil to Dave to Robb to Adam…MH RULES.
