Fozzy concert recap and photos
By Dev
London, England. February 11, 2005.

Firstly I got there and a band called Head On was playing Break The Walls Down and after the main guy threw his official new c.d out with a shirt to the crowd, I caught it and 5 otherd did too, I used my whole strength to get it and I pretended it dropped and I really hid it under my boxers and everyone was looking for it!

When Jericho finally came on after Fozzy, the crowd went INSANE. Y2J chants etc etc. They played their songs, I got crushed by the crowd cause there was alot of people there and I finally made it to the very front and I waved my Y2J poster there and the poster got all creases and stuff in it which really got fucked up and it was in MINT CONDITION! Jericho got on the microphone and was spitting water into the crowd for fun and throwing bottoles of water and such. He got on the mic and said they are going to play a song that was once played on MTV and that S Club and Robbie Williams was there too and he said "Fuck The S CLUB!" and he kept chanting it so everyone else and myself started to scream "Fuck S Club!" non-stop. Jericho was a great party host till the end. Two fans got the chance to go on stage and the little kid was chanting Fozzy on the mic as he got lifted up on the shoulders by one of the fozzy members and he was waving his arms like mad. Finally they got off the stage and Fozzy sang another 2-3 songs and it was 10:30pm and it was time for us to get out.

I came back and suddenly every fan was lined up again to go back in for the second part where Fozzy left but Jericho would be there to DJ for the night till 3:00am - I wasnt allowed in because I was 17 and It was 6 months before I became 18 and the guard wouldent let several others who didnt look 18 inside. I begged and begged and begged, I told him that I traveled 3hrs to come here cause I love Chris and he was my hero and my idol and he bought it and he let me in and I shaked his hand and thanked him. I went down finally and there wasnt alot of people there like there was before cause alot of them were under 18 before. I got there finally and I saw Chris on stage I took some photos and I walked past the stage and the dresing room was right there. The guard was standing there and he was very very cool, not strict at all! and I told him "I Love Chris Jericho man, hes the best, I idolise him! and if I dont get a picture with him tonight, I'll die!" and he said "go on quickly onto stage" I got onto the stage and I went "Chris!" and he turned around and shaked my hand (I wouldent let go of his hand I was in shock) and I said "Man, I e-mailed you a few months back and you wished me happy birthday and you said good luck!" he said "are you sure it was me?" (mainly cause alot of people pretend to be him on the net) and I said "Yeh, it was on the official ChrisJericho.Com site" and he said "Cool, how as your birthday? did you party?" I said "Yeah man, I told all my friends that I got an e-mail from Chris Jericho and it was the happist day of my life!" and he smiled and laughed and signed my Fozzy ticket. He was really busy at the moment so he said "I'll speak to you in a little while bro" so I sat on the side of the stage watching Chris.

When Chris finished off being the DJ he went to the dressing room and I saw that cool guard not looking cause he wouldent let me go to the dressing room and I sneaked behind the wall and ran in quickly as fuck. I ran up the 2 stairs and I saw the other members of Fozzy leaving with their bags and I went "Wheres Chris? Wheres Chris?" and they said "In there" I went in and I saw Chris there and he was like "Hey man, what you doing here?" I said "I followed you..can you sign a few things for me man?" he was washing his face with soapy water in the sink as I watched him, he had alot of beer. (Stella Atois) He said "sure bro, just give me a min to sort my stuff out and I'll come right out" so I turned around and stood by the door NOT outside the door as he got his stuff ready and put on his clothes. I asked him how his son was and asked for his name cause I didnt know! and he said "his name is Ash" so I go "man, if e-mail you, can you e-mail me back?" he said "sure" I said Im going to put on a certain topic (I aint saying what till I get the e-mail) and he laughed out and we both laughed about it.

He came out and gave me advice about wrestling and he was talking to me and it was very real and he seemed to care cause other wrestlers would just go "just train hard" he was dishing out the advice. He went down to those steps and we talked and he asked where the backdoor was and where the others went. The guard didnt know so I said "they went thru that door outside the changing room man, here I'll show you" but first I said "lets take a picture quick man!" so I handed the camera to some girl and she took a picture with me and him!

So we went back up the stairs I asked him if he needed a hand to carry his bags cause it looked heavy and he said it was alright. He went outside and I said "I'll see you later then" so I walked out got lost in some kitchen and couldent find myself out...I was like "what the fuck..." and the woman in charge came in and saw me and I was like "I got lost...sorry" and she said it was okay. So I walked out and I went outside and Jericho was there on his phone speaking to someone and the guard there who was another cool guy said "why do you like Jericho" and I was standing right beside Chris and I said "I love him man, thats my idol, I respect him etc etc" and Chris turned around and smiled and said "thanks man!"

Before he was about to get on the van I went "Hey man, what do you think of Triple H between us really?" he said "hes the best, the best in the busniess!" I smirked and said "I thought he was an asshole!" I had a feeling Chris was sarcastic with that "best" comment.

He got onto the van and I climbed up onto it with him and I said "man, look what they did to my poster!" he said "yeah, it got trashed" and he shaked his head cause of it. And he STILL signed the poster. I asked him if it was true that The Rock left and he said "Yeah, hes gone now, left" I said "you promised me man, you have to e-mail me!" he said he would and promised again. I stood outside for the van for a second and I saw one of the other Fozzy members and we got on perfectly too! he was funny we was cracking jokes and I said "Man, I need a photo with you too!" (I don't know his name eeek! but its the guy in the photo with me) and we did the \m/ sign and screamed "FUCK YOUUUUU!" into the camera and we laughed about it afterwards.

I climbed into the van again and Chris goes as a joke I THINK he said "hey man, dont you have some girls to chase or something?" and I was like "huh?" he laughed and said "dont worry" I asked him what he said and he laughed again and said "Dont worry" and he asked me where I live, I said I live in Lewisham and he goes "far from here?" and I said "yeah about 1hr 20mins" he said "how you going to travel back? tube, bus, car?" and I said "I have to walk for ages and get a bus after" he said "thats the way to do it man!, walk on your own! etc" and we laughed about it.

Finally it was about 3:40am and my mobile was ringing with my parents wanting me to come home so I said "Hey Chris, I gotta go man, nice meeting you all, I loved you all, you all played great tonight" and he said "Later brother!" and I quickly ran back into the van and said "Hey Chris, remember man! you promised me the e-mail!" he smiled and I left.

It started to rain, I rang my dad and he said he'll pick me up and I said I'll wait outside the Prime Ministers house infront of the gates where Tony Blair lives cause hes about a 15 min walk away from where Fozzy was! so I stood there the police guards with automatic guns looked at me funny wondering what the fuck is he doing here at this time in the rain and my dad finally came and I had a big fat smile on my face!

And thats the story - Hope you enjoyed it!
