My dumb ass locked my keys in my car at an Exodus show late 92 or early 93. Who walked by and offered to help slim jim it open? Gary Holt.

Ash is so Black Metal his body rejects all light.

OMG, Boris, you are soooo tall! This video was really cool! I enjoyed the little stories behind the pictures. Please, give us some more!

Nice man I met Mayhem , Dying Fetus , Suffocation with Frank , Dark Funeral and the singer of Belphogore they where all really chill and down to earth especially the singer of Dying Fetus and Necrobutcher from Mayhem

Saw Type O in Vegas in ‘08 and met Peter Steele. He asked “Why would someone come all the way from Chicago to see such a shitty band” I replied, I came to see Hatebreed😂 He then signed my photo of him, threw at me and said “I hope your flight is delayed on the way back to your crappy city” all with a big smile on his face lol

Met necrobutcher in the parking lot at a mayhem show in texas chill guy Amazing show along with blood incantation and gorguts

Love how you tower over everyone in every picture

Great video Boris . I took a picture with Glen Benton in 2009 in NYC he was very cool . Maybe he wasn't feeling good that day .

I met Glenn at a local bar where I grew up. Small town and was surprised when Deicide and Vital Remains played at our local watering hole. Was a killer show

I got to meet Glen Benton in 92 in Toronto, and he was pretty cool to my friends and I and gave us tshirts, we were at school the next day and had to go to the principles office because a Christian teacher at the school freaked out. Because on the back of the shirts it said "to kill God and all that is holy"

Santolla ''enlightened'' Deicide for 2 studio albums only, but he left his mark. Santol(l)a means ''spider crab'' in Portuguese.

new boris upload lets goooo \m/

Thanks so much for sharing your memories with us Boris ....really enjoyed hearing about each picture.

Really cool video. Would love to see more pictures & hear more stories if you have them.

Hi Boris! 🥰 Thanks for sharing these AWESOME moments! They will stay with us forever!!! At the Abbath concert in Leipzig on Feb.2nd, I was fortunate to have a picture with James McBain from Hellripper!!!!! 🔥🖤🔥 What a down to earth guy!!! So MEGA nice!!! He was at the merch before the show and also afterwards!!! I also got his autograph!!!! It is very much appreciated when the band members interact with the fans!!! Our hearts grow even bigger in size!!!🧡🖤🔥 Hope to see you at your next concert in Germany. 🧡🖤🧡 Big Hugs!!!!🤘🥰🤘

Great video, Boris! I had a good chuckle at the anecdotes around the pics of your trip down memory lane. Thanks for sharing.

Awesomeeeeeee Once I managed to get picture with Christopher Bowes from Alestorm and he even bought me rum to drink with him. Really cool stories

This was really interesting. Cool stories!

Met Johnny Kelly, Sal Abruscato, Kyle Shutt from The Sword, Carnifex, Denzel Curry, Kelly Smith of Flotsam & Jetsam, smoked weed with Anvil, and Steve Adler. Nice dudes

Two simple words: DO MORE!!!

This remind me when i went at a Sinister gig with maybe 30 people in it... 😮

literally love ur account so much omg

Yes! Thank you!! Sound engineers for live venues: TURN THE BASS DOWN!!

My favorite RU-vid channel!!!🖤⚡️😈Your stories are always so interesting!! Keep up the great content 👍🏼👍🏼⚡️⚡️⚡️

Some great stories 🤘

Nice collection Boris ! Through the years I have foto with Mr Kai Hansen, Hellhammer, Galder, ICS Vortex, Guys from Voivod, Blind Guardian ( Metalcamp on the beach 🤘) Nergal, Dave Vincent in Vienna New Yorker Shop 😂 Kataklysm at McDonald ,Paul Masvidal,Sean Reinert ,Wormrot, Misanthrope and some more...all nice people ❤

I met Glen Benton. He seemed cool.

Great trip to memory lane. Thank you. :)

I took a picture with Nocturnal Depression, Belphegor, Alexi Laiho, Amon Amarth, The Stone and Alcest. Wish it had been more. But still got all my Albums signed at the same time so still happy i had the chances.

Damn you're tall !!!

Ironic that in your picture with Gary Holt, you're wearing a SLAYER t-shirt, Gary, Later joins SLAYER as a fulltime band member.. Funny coincidence.

Ralph was the best!!! I miss him everyday - we had a band that was supposed to do a record right before he passed - the demos still rule and I listen to them all the times ….maybe I’ll email it to you?

loved this video! sad to hear about Glenn though :/

Great Memories, great Viedo.

Cool vid Boris. Yeah, you never know what rock or metal musicians celebs will be like if you met them. Maybe they’re having a bad day or maybe they’re cool as hell just because that’s the way they are or want to promote their product. I’ve also heard the term before of “don’t meet your idols”, because you may not get the perception of what you thought they were? Anyway…

Ugh.....I am going to out how old I am but I saw Exodus in 1989. Great show though!

I've been lucky enough to play with a lot of bands I like because I'm normally too awkward to actually approach anyone as a fan, haha. But I had a funny interaction with Dark Funeral when I played a festival they were on. My phone started ringing backstage and it was a call from my mother for whom I had the Moomins theme tune as a ringtone (she loves Moomins) and everyone in Dark Funeral turned around and looked and me and started laughing. It was a great ice breaker, they were all super cool.

The last story... 😂

I met a few also , we had a rehearsal room and the whole floor of other bands and it usually ends in big partys . For a few days, vital remains(benton singing)had to use the spot to practice, and we got really drunk . They had a good time and got a picture of a bunch of friends and vital remins, and in the middle is BENTON photo bombing by mooning the camera haha 😄

My cousin did some of Glen bentons tattoos and at the time i was the apprentice at this particular shop. Glen and steve ashiem walked in and we were blown away because our favorite fn band was deicide. Well they had a show that night at this venue literally walking distance from the shop we worked at, but we already had tickets n what not and were definitely going. But, the way glen benton acted towards us and our staff/employees/customers that were there at the time was unbelievably rude, ignorant and just completely and utterly dickish ASF..he kept on rolling his eyes every time someone would say something, he literally flat out said do NOT ask for autographs, pics or anything. And i think he might have said like three words the whole time they were there and they were there for at least three hrs or more. He pulled a switch blade on one of the customers for trying to shake his hand, and that alone was completely mind blowing. He did so many rude and disgusting things that day that it's too much to type in a RU-vid comment section. Bottom line is, glen benton from deicide is a fn dick and just a rude POS. Period. Did NOT like the guy one iota.. now steve on the other hand was incredibly cool ASF.. had lots to say and was polite, had manners, shook our hands, signed the wall at the shop, and me being a death metal drummer myself, we talked drums for at least two hrs. He was one of the nicest and coolest dudes you'll ever wanna meet, hands down, besides max cavelera. Anyway, that's my glen Benton story.. Lol.. great video Boris! Cheers my friend.. 🤘🥁🤘

Helmuth going out for pictures, wow! xD Every time I went to see Belphegor he was stuck to the tour bus haha.

Wassup man. I subscribed to ur channel

That was fun 😅

Questo video è stato fantastico 🤟

I met Ozzy in HMV in Brum when he released his Scream album in 2010 and I cried after I shook his hand lol but we sadly couldn't take photos. Met Troy Donockley at a Steeleye Span gig by accident in York and got Maddy Prior to photograph us 😂 then I met him again when I saw Nightwish in London and the poor guy remembered me. Met Gaahl thanks to your video! Met Rotting Christ at Bloodstock and skipped the whole band just to talk to Sakis in Greek cos I'm a stupid fan girl and think I upset the rest of the band 😅😬 Met Attila from Powerwolf outside their gig in Brum and then did again at Bloodstock, also COF there. One of of the most recent ones was probably Beast in Black cos I wanted to speak Greek to Yannis 😅 Ian Watkins walked past me and my older sister before a gig in Brum and we were frozen in our tracks so it's lucky we didn't get any photos cos I was about 13/14 at the time 😬 One guy I'd really love to meet is Rob Halford 😩 Also, I like your natural hair colour and you're not fat! 🖤

I would love to see Taake play here in the US, idk if it’ll ever happen though

Give us more pictures and stories!

I had an awkward experience with Enslaved, through no fault of theirs. It was in San Antonio, Texas, and the crowd was obviously there for some hipster band. Anyway, hung out at the Enslaved merch table and had nothing to say

You forgot Teloch

I Hope to take my passport and meet my international rock artists! Thank you Very much for this video!☠️

Stay metal. That's why were here.

Wow

Everything you said about FleshGod apocalypse I can confirm. I saw them before they became huge, theyh came in Macedonia, and played in an open air venue. I was like 15 at the time and couldnt afford a ticket or anything. We were chilling out with friends and just talking when some foreigners started chatting with us. We were telling them how excited we are to HEAR fleshgod after finding them online, but how we can't afford to participate. Turns out those foreigners were fleshgod members. Now it was too long ago I can't recall who exactly, but it was 3 of them, and definitely not the bald guy, but they were super nice and friendly, apologized for not being able to get us in and gave us a shoutout while playing from the stage. We could hear it all from like 10 meters outside of the venue. They also sounded absolutely amazing and got a big fan for life in me that day. They told me to message them I believe on MySpace still, and they gave me an interview for a fanzine I was making with a friend.

Nice

Man the list of people that are blond and don't actually have black hair keeps growing😂 i never expect it😂 superb videos. love your channel, especially the black metal vlog series!cheers!

Noo the hug one 😂😂

really miss you and susi's vlogs together.

I Met freakin atilla in Leipzig 2022 and smoked with him such a cool Guy total respect for him

Boris my distant friend 🤘🏻🔥💥🙏🏻💯

every time you play the fart noise i laugh and then say to my husband “he needs to grow up”. 😂😂

Hey Boris…RU-vid recommended your channel to me…and i like it a lot. Do you like brazilian metal?? Sarcofago??

I met emperor 🔥

Why did your songs disappear from Yandex music?

I am in a multiple signed Death Band. The purple Chinchilla is well known. The drums are real - and so is the sound. The only critisism is that you can go faster - ie accelerate I always say accelerate - i.e go faster when you can - because that is the hook. it is not the vocals or the guitar sound - just go faster!

I had the chance to get on Testament's tour bus with my sister and her friend once, but I had to pass. I had THE WORST headache of my life, felt like I was gonna puke any moment... so I went and slept in the car lol. I did get to meet everyone from Superjoint Ritual a few different times, except for Phil lol. Smoked with Bower and III.

I only have photos with Agalloch, Behemoth, Cannibal Corpse and Woods of Ypres

Hail Boris…. Are you planning to go steelfest this year ?

🤘🤘🤘

I met Holt in 89 when I was 15 and it was my first and best meet. It was all downhill from there. I saw Jack's country band (the bass player you mentioned) with about 10 people in the club and that is his disposition all time. Glen was always a prick when I saw Deicide and the one time I saw him with Vital Remains he was standing in the smoking section bullshitting with everyone signing and taking photos. Biggest pricks I ever met were Gene Simons (shocker) , Karl from Bolthrower

Hi Boris. About the bass thing... I can live with no bass on bands like Bölzer, and that's perfect. It all depends on your primal mindset about Music, your Music. And by the way, I'm a bassist myself, so i guess you are over-reacting about the ''behs'' thing. If you are referring to the big egos in Metal Bassery (whose names we don't even have to mention, because of their renowned bass megalomaniac follies and note superavit, surfing the fretboard in sensational pentatonic frenzy, or showing off minor chords on the thinner strings !...) , yes , we all know who they are and how they sound, but the ''must be's '' on their own creation imply the final mix should reflect those talents, those abilities highlighted (OK, think S.H. in IM, think JdM, in MnW) to a point of self-adulation, maybe. But when one thinks of Lemmy, Cronos, Angelripper, Slayed Necros and most certainly the late mr Burton, just to mention a few, you'll have to concede that it's pointless to turn down the bass on the mix for those bands and musicians. It's where the DNA is kept. But I also play the guitar...

I haven't met too many musicians but I did manage to see Johnny Depp once coming out of Jimmy Kimmel .It was pretty random . I had just finished working a shift that just happened to be within the same building and lets just say I was just close enough to see his finger 😅

Todos mis likes for you 😉😚

que legal cara, não sei como vim parar aqui, mas eu ja vi você em um vídeo fazendo turismo na Noruega com uma gatota,acho que deve ser sua esposa ou namorada talvez, mas achei o vídeo turístico muito interessante, saudações aqui do Brasil, ja virei seu fã.

🤘🎃🤘

What abt gahL and fenriz??

Yeah, I wouldn't be fuckin with Benton too much.

Jesus, youre such a young boy. 😊

Hey Boris i like your content, but why you call your girlfrient "THE NORWEGIAN" ? :D

Damn bro ..you didn't knew English at that age? Not judging just thought most metalheads at least did. Anyway, ams drunk, live your videos and I wouldn't mind longer vids you seem the kind of guy I would listen for hours at a bar. Cheers!

You are a famous musician!!!!

🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🤘🤘🤘🤘

Satan.....and friends:)

The band who pissed me off the most was...mmmh yeah, Edguy: they practically abandoned the stage to reach the outside area of the concert surrounded by security. I was here for another band that night and I never liked them that much, but seeing this is person completely pissed me off. How can you treat your fans such way?

Yeah man! I like Deicide but have to say Glenn Benton is a poser and nothing else, he was supposed to be dead by now anyways, good pictures!

Nobody commenting on how awesome FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE is!!!!!! Incredible band, nicest people, hardest working.... they just give 1000% every single time whether they have 50 people or 1000 at a show.... I've seen them every time they come to America and I've traveled to Europe to see them and I am in awe every single time!
