you're fucking shit
just remembered another story about a mate.

my friend Paul got conned into going to see pseudo-metal band Amen when they played in Oxford a few years ago.He didnt like them, had never heard any songs, and generally had no knowledge of who they were. Deciding that the drinks in the club were too expensive, he and the people who conned him into going went over the road to a pub to have a few swift jars before they went in.

whilst in there, Paul said a tallish, heavily tattooed man walked up to the bar while he was there and commented Paul on his exceptional beard-longhair combo, to which Paul relied "I like your tattooes". The tattooed man then asked if he was going to go and see Amen later, to which Paul replied with sincere honesty, "Yeah, I am, I'm not really a fan but some friends are going and I thought i may as well. In fact, I think Amen are pretty shit to be honest". The bloke left pretty promptly after that.

Come gig time, everyone went mental when Amen wealked out. Except Paul. He looked a little shocked then burst out laughing.

"hahaha! that's the bloke is was talking to at the pub!"
"Paul, that's Casey Chaos"
"Who?"
"Lead singer of Amen"
"Oh. I told him Amen were shit earlier."
