Had a great time driving for Ripper Owens and his band yesterday and this morning. We were on a pretty tight schedule so not a huge amount of time to sit around talking but did manage to chat to Ripper a bit which was cool. There were a few issues with one of the guitars at the gig which the band found a little frustrating. Glitches aside it was a great show and the audience loved it. Ripper can seriously scream!!! Highlights in the set for me were Victim Of Changes, Scream Machine, Heart Of A Killer, Grinder, Stand Up And Shout and Heaven And Hell. Also Ripper does an awesome rendition of Painkiller. I ended up filming some of the gig for the band for which they gave me cds of Jugulator, Demolition, 98 Live Meltdown and a gig poster, all of which Ripper signed which was wicked.
Took a couple of photos on my cell phone so if anyone wants to check them out they are on the Metal Meltdown facebook page, here is the link
