Backstage I again met Nikola. There were also some other people just hanging around or waiting for some Prodigy autographs, including also the supportbands. The very least I wanted to of course was to seem annoying to The Prodigy guys (obviously) Cause you dont wanna look like some annoying stalker or some shit like that. I just thought, well, you got a pass, why not just go and look a bit whats happening ;P. The first happening then was the power beeing first cut off in Prodigys 'dressing room' (which was a tent) and then in the whole backstage area... darkness. Well, they could solve the problem after a while and I soon found myself talking to Kieron. I asked why he didnt play the guitar anymore for 'Their Law' and 'Firestarter'. He just said: "well, I just cant be bothered, you know. I just love my drumkit, and since its the last show for a while it doesnt really matter" . He later also told me about his own new band called 'Happy Gilmore' where he would play guitar and sing, but next to it still play for The Prodigy. I also got to know from him that the gig in Korea (1st August) with RATM did actually never take place, although they travelled all the way there! Reason: a hurricane had blown away the stage!
Well, all my thanks go to Nikola, Christo @ NMA and The Prodigy for making this such a cool day for me!
