Atreyu Seeing Ghosts

Atreyu is getting visits from the devil. Maybe its about time they go to hell and stop making such bad music.

Blizzards and disappearing tractor men.

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

So I didn’t wake up on day 6 of the Taste of Chaos tour expecting anything out of the ordinary to happen, but that’s when you get graced by the extraordinary, right?

I awoke and noticed the bunk was no longer shaking, a sure sign of our arrival in Ohio. I climbed out of the crypt I call a bed, made my way past the sleeping beauties I call Atreyu and headed towards the front lounge. A glance at the empty coffee maker showed no sign of the rest of the guys, so I headed towards the window and noticed we were not only at the venue, but were in some strange solid white state I’d never visited before. Frightened, I ran to the sanctuary of my coffin, uh bunk.

I arose from my slumber hours later to chatter outside my curtain. “Psdlkddj blizzard sdlkdl freezlsjdfslk cold.” That’s all I heard cause well, I just woke up, but it did make sense now. I didn’t visit a place that held no time, space or hue, it was just snowing. I gathered my warm clothing and headed out on my daily adventure to see if catering had the omelet station setup. Just a wall of white accompanied my trip to the back door. After no eggs graced my lips at catering, I went for the next best thing on a cold winter morning: my camera.

I walk out front of the venue and see a decent line already forming. By the way, you kids have some kind of heart or skin that I’ll never have. Waiting out in that blizzard nonsense for these bands; If I was wearing a hat it’d be off to ya. I took a couple pictures of the falling snow, kids in line, and truck snow plows racing the parking lot when I see a right red tractor in a sunlit clearing of snow. Excited by the seemingly unreal photo op, I wandered over to the diesel beast and as I neared, a teenage boy pops out from thin air and throws me a “Good day sir.” Dumbfounded, I ask if I can take his picture (to which he obliges) and I shoot his dirty coveralls layered over his outfit and through the eye of the camera I see a look of confusion and wonder I haven’t seen in years. I thanked him and turned to take a few more shots, looking over my shoulder seemingly seconds later and he had vanished from whence he came. No bright red tractor. No dirty brown coveralls. Nothing. Not a trace he was even there.

Now do I believe in ghosts? Sure. Do I think he was a ghost? Nah, I totally have this sweet pic of him:

Well, that had nothing to do with the Taste of Chaos tour, but the bus just started moving and we’re still in a bilzzard so I’m going to sleep so I can drive the terror of being in a snowstorm out of my mind, while our bus driver makes the trek to Detroit.

Miss you,

Marc McKnight, Atreyu
