No, though I did recently party with the Kingslayer. That particular evening I couldn't make it out. Next thing I'm planning on going to in Cowtown is Amon Amarth.

I'll be there as well, see you there if we connect.

Hey! My name's Trapper, and I've been wanting to go on what I can only think of as BOATQUEST since it was first announced back in 2010. The money and line up finally, well, lined up this year... and I'm fucking stoked! It should be one hell of a party!

City/country:
Savannah, GA

Age (optional):
26

What first got you into metal?
Metallica was the first band I started listening to, then I randomly heard "Battlefield" by Blind Guardian in a fan made music video and it just kind of struck me. I've been completely hooked ever since.

Play any instruments?
Guitar, primarily, though I sing tenor 2 when I randomly find myself in barbershop groups, and I dabble with keys and percussion.

Top 5 bands?
Blind Guardian
Dream Theater
Ayreon
Tyr
This spot changes constantly, but right now, I think it would be safe to say Amorphis

What do you do?
IT Monkey.

What deck are you on?
Deck 7. 7372, played the lottery this year, as I could only get one friend to go with me and a two person room was simply more expensive than us booking separately.

What's a creepy thing I can say when I see you that no stranger should know and will weird you out that I do?
Make a Dark Tower AND a Dune reference in the same sentence. Should be an interesting challenge.

What first got you into metal?
2003. I was in middle school in computer class when I discovered a random video file. It turned out to be Metallica St. Anger music video. I thought it was so good at the time even though I had alredy sort of heard the likes of System of A Down , Korn, & Rage Against The Machine. I figured I stick to Metallica, discovered their discography backwards and the rest is history. I then ventured into death metal, power metal, and black metal. Now I enjoy quite a lot from all those and have since disliked Nu Metal lol.

Not professionally but I can play "amateurishly" drums, violin, and trumpet.

Death
Bathory
Mercyful Fate/King Diamond

I guess we have Baldielocks (KevinP on the forum, though he doesn't come here anymore methinks) to thank for that . It started way back in the early days of the forum.

Yea I find Death & Bathory almost a tie when it comes to great albums despite different genres and Bathory having more albums.

Oh okay thanks for the heads up!

I am positive that I could play a mean tambourine. But no, no I don't.

Top 5 bands?
Good god....
ummm...

Korpiklaani
Sonata Arctica
Sabaton
Alestorm
Finntroll

Maybe... I don't know. That requires much more thinking than I can currently handle.

Photography (mainly Fetish and Gore), and Chain Maille. I am also currently in school to learn all the fun stuff to do with running a business. A friend and I are opening up a Fetish shop.

I have no idea. It's fairly difficult to creep me out. I also have no shame. I get called 'That Red Haired One', and apparently last year I was being calle 'The Red Ball of Energy' because I find it quite difficult to calm down or sit still.

2015 Wishlist: Sabaton, Metsatoll, Nightwish, Hammerfall, Heidevolk. I dunno. More Power Metal, More Folk Metal!
