What would you do to win Maiden backstage passes?

[Perun]

Why the fuck have you eaten all of that?

Let's disassemble this:

calf brain tacos,

Brain is a very common dish in many countries. I've seen it on menus in France and Hungary. It's rich on protein and supposed to be very tasty, but I have never eaten it myself, at least not knowingly (I'm still doubtful on the exact content of that goulash soup I had in Budapest). I have never seen it served on a taco either. But the joke of the Piece of Mind picture where the band sit at a dinner table looking at the brain dish is lost on most non-English fans.

crickets,

Supposed to be very tasty roasted, a common dish in many subtropical and tropical parts of the world.

ant larvae,

Don't see how this is any more gross than an egg.

silk worms,

Now that is gross.

caked bulls blood....

Blutwurst, i.e. sausage made from pig blood is fairly common in Germany, for instance. I think it tastes disgusting, but not for the fact that it is made of blood.

I'm sure some of the tacos i've had in mexico actually contained dog, cat and/or rat....

Everybody knows that Chinese are reputed to eat cats and dogs (although only rarely), and I seriously don't see what's so bad about that. Dogs were a staple of Polynesian diet for many millennia. Why eat a pig or a cow, but not a cat or a dog? I don't get it.

Rats, on the other hand transmit many, many illnesses, and eating them is simply not safe.

I guess many, many people would prefer the majority of those things to rakfisk 

 

[Onhell]

He's Mexican 

That's exactly why and what Perun said. Oh, silk worms taste like french fries

Rakfisk? Is that like... being fisted by a rat?

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Rakfisk is fish that has been fermented  Check the Wiki article.

I've never been fisted by a rat, so I don't know how that compares to rakfisk.

 

[Perun]

I am never going to put anything in my mouth that ends in -fisk.

 

[Deano]

Back on topic; I would just call Steve on his personal cell phone and ask him if I could come back stage. I have him on speed dial. 

 

[Wästed The Great]

It's from that night you drank him under the table in Belfast, correct?

 

[Deano]

Yeah, it was a tight battle between me, Steve, Marion Ravenwood and some Nazi...

 

[Wästed The Great]

Yeah, but the Nazi cat was drinking to ease the pain of that burnt hand, right?  He was doomed from the start.

 

[Deano]

He was the first one out. Nazis can't drink man. You'd think they could because of being German and all but........

 

[Wästed The Great]

Just a bunch of Nancy-boys.

So, Steve's under the table, you're scabbing his phone number off his comatose body and Marion is still drinking?

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

I am never going to put anything in my mouth that ends in -fisk.

Is this an aversion against fish in general, or just against fish prepared by Norwegians, Swedes, Danes and Icelanders?

 

[Deano]

So, Steve's under the table, you're scabbing his phone number off his comatose body and Marion is still drinking?

Well, close.... Marion's under the table providing me with the motivation to beat Steve in the arm wrestling match we are engaged in (I guess playing bass gives you ridiculously strong forearms); the agreement is if I win, Steve gives me his number. I lose but Steve feels bad (plus he's drunk as shit) and gives me his number anyway. I haven't tried it yet, it better be right!

 

[Wästed The Great]

You can always count on Marion.

I wouldn't count on Steve...

 

[Deano]

She gave me a crystal skull!   

 

[Perun]

Is this an aversion against fish in general, or just against fish prepared by Norwegians, Swedes, Danes and Icelanders?

An aversion against whatever was rotting in that can that bloke brought to school that fateful day.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

That was probably surströmming, the Swedish equivalent to rakfisk. Not for those with a sensitive nose 

 

[Wästed The Great]

She gave me a crystal skull!   

Ha!!  Is that what they call it now.... I always thought it was head.  Erm, a "Crystal Head".  yeah, that's what I meant. 

 

[Travis The Dragon]

Either you're all a bunch of wussies or you don't want to meet Maiden that badly.

 

[Deano]

I don't feel the extreme burning urge yet, I just saw them in June.
