I just thought I would drop in to say I finally got to meet Blacky tonight when Martyr played here in Hamilton! I have never met him before, despite having seen him play with Voivod about 5 times in the late 80s.

Since they are one of my favourite bands, I did something I never do and asked him to sign my War & Pain and Rrroarrrr LPs and Killing Technology and Angel Rat CDs. These are the same ones I had signed by the rest of the band back in 2003 and now they are complete! My wife and I are going to frame the LP covers and put them up in our music room.

Someone took a photo of Blacky, my friend and I earlier tonight. I will ask him to post it later on this week, or teach me how to, as I don't know for sure how to do it.

You got him to sign the Angelrat album?

I was going to ask him to sign my copy of the s/t but forcing him to listen to it in my car seemed cruel enough.

Well, I asked him first before getting him to sign AR. I mean, he played on it before leaving the band...

That may be the case, I don't know - I was just going by the liner notes to the album.

One of the most retarded situations ever witnessed in musical history!

I'll never understand that one either!

I don't know.

Martyr kept playing Voivod riffs during their line check before they played, and Blacky told me he was very full from all-you-can-eat sushi, but I don't know if anyone pulled a prank.

Martyr really impressed me, it was my first time seeing them live.

I was at that show as well. Lots of good pics all weekend at the shows with Martyr. This was the first time I met Blacky, but he is likely the nicest person I have ever met. Him, and the guys from Martyr hung out at my place that afternoon. Genuinely nice people.

cheers
