I shit you not. Here's how it went...
I went to the hat shop in downtown Montreal with my best-friend. I wanted to buy myself a 1940's Stetson (Humphrey Bogart style) and my friend bought himself a really great looking cowboy hat (hats actually work to draw the ladies' attention... and it makes something to talk about... and it protect your skull from the sun and rain... many many uses).
So after the hat shop, we walk out each wearing our new hat, drawing looks from everyone on the street. Perfect.
Now, my buddy, he owes me a beer from a wager we'd done at the gym - he'd said I'd never be able to pump a certain weight on the leg-press and, well, I did pump it. So there you go, he owes me a beer, and after the hat shop, we go out to a local bar. Nice place. We go there all the time.
So we get there, take a seat, order our beer. Then we see those 4 really big guys dressed in leather and jeans with long hair and big beards sitting at a table near us, making lots of noise and obviously having fun. We notice that their clothes are plastered with Black Label Society patches and shits. One of the guys gets up and heads to the bathroom. My friend is like, "Man, was that Zakk Wylde???" Indeed it was. BLS had a gig scheduled in Montreal 2 days later and they were hanging out in town in the meantime - we just happenned to bump into them - rock/metal music LEGENDS having a beer 6 feet away from us. AWESOME.
We don't say a word, we keep to ourselves. We figure, if we were them, we'd want to be left to ourselves like normal people. Having crowds of fans around you all the time can be a pain in the posterior. So we sit at our table, drinking our beer, eating fries and, most importantly, wearing our newly bought hats.
But then...
We see Zakk Wylde himself getting up and coming over to us, like steadily to us, straight line - no mistaking, he's coming to us. He grabs my friend (who's wearing the cowboy hat) and tells him to come over to his table and tell another BLS guy "DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH COWBOYS?!" And so he does. Hilarious.
They then go on talking about hockey and stuff. My friend comes back to our table - where I'd been sitting until then - and Zakk follows. We all shake hands, and then Zakk says, "You guys have nice hats." Okay, awesome. Zakk Wylde thinks we have nice hats. LOL!
We start chatting, folling around, Zakk and the other BLS guys are really great and a lot of fun. Zakk ends up buying my friend and me a beer. We look at each other, with a look that says, "Man, did Zakk Wylde really just buy us each a beer????!!!" FUCKIN AWESOME.
So we chat a bit more and all. Then Zakk sees my Thor's Hammer pendant and bellows, "THAT'S THE SHIT!!!" and then grabs my necklace and kisses it in a very juicy fashion. I don't even have time to wonder if Zakk Wylde had really just kissed my necklace that he's taking his Crusader Cross pendant in his hand and handing it over for me to kiss. And so I did. This being followed by a large hug and a major pat on the back.
We talk a bit more, with Zakk, with the other BLS guys, and then they have to leave. We give them the name and address of the best stripper club in town, shake hands, hug and pat on the back once more, say bye and they're gone.
So that's it... Zakk Wylde bought me a beer!!!

Blog
Pour ceux d'entre vous qui parlez français, je me suis créé un blog. Ma page dA sera reléguée à l'arrière plan. Pour ceux que ça intéresse, voici le blog en question : http://epinettenoiredevingtcinqans.blogspot.com/
And for those among you who don't speak french, this dA page will now be put aside somewhat, as I have now made myself a blog. As you may have guessed, said blog is in french (my native language). I'll still be active on dA as far as looking at other people's stuff and commenting on it is concerned, I'll simply not post any more journals, or do so even less often than was my habit.

Hmm... just thinking out loud...
Why do people stop digging after they get to Clockwork Orange? I mean, okay, it's a good movie, I've watched it quite a few times, but there's stuff that's SO much more interesting out there - and it's definitely not Kubrick's best work, in my humble opinion. Really. I mean it. But for some reason, it seems that when people get "Clockwork-Orange-deep" into cinema, they just stop digging. I've stopped counting how many times I've seen this movie listed on people's profiles, here on dA. Quite often, it seems to be named right before/after Nightmare before Christmas, which is also a fun little movie, but somewhat over-rated, thanks to hordes of

I just saw the newly restored version of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, at the Place des Arts de Montréal. It was shown with live symphonic music specially composed by a local composer for this event. For those not aware of it, a master tape of Metropolis was found in 2008 in Argentina. The movie itself dating from back in 1927, bit and pieces have been damaged and/or lost over time, resulting in a somewhat incomplete version of the movie. Well, the master tape found in Argentina contains a *massive* chunk of what had been thought lost. So Kino International and the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung foundation got a hold of that material, rest
Don't know where to start...
... So I guess I'll start at the beginning.
I don't like religions.
I'm a rather spiritual guy, with lots of philosophical questions hangin' around inside my skull. No matter in what "main" religion I look, I seem to find only stuff that makes me sad about Mankind. Why should we "fear" a divine being? Why should there be only *one* divine being? Why should there be *any* divine being at all? Why should we even think a concept as far-fetched as a "divine being" is even credible to start with? Let's face it : religious belief consists in saying that something exist and, when faced with a lack proof, answering "well, I simply believe in it." O

Been reading lots of stories about Zakk Wylde's friendly public interaction.
Once read about a guy whose son was attending some Gibson guitar contest at a local music store. Zakk Wylde was there to hand the price guitar to the winner. Well, the writer's kid won the contest and pointed at a 'Gibson Custom Zakk Wylde Signature Les Paul', which obviously wasn't a part of the contest and the store owner had to tell the kid and Zakk, that he couldn't have that guitar. Zakk shouted at the store owner and eventually Zakk paid the guitar himself and handed it to the kid.
