Hahaha, I love that Exodus story. Especially the mic-stand kicking part. I gotta remember that one. Sounds like it was a great, memorable gig.

The ones I remember are:
 
Testament - I think it was 87, I traveled with some 
friends to São Paulo to see Testament, we arrived afternoon and went right to a 
famous record shop to look out to some nice records, and as we steped into 
the place, all the guys from Testament were there hanging around!! 
they were all so nice to us, talked about music and such, took a lot of 
pictures and autographs!!!
 
Paul Di´anno - my band was lucky enough for having 
the chance to be opening acts on the two times that Paul played in Curitiba, 
once in 98 and the other in 2001, he´s a very funny guy and was a real 
gent with all of us!!! on his second tour he was treating us like close 
friends!!! good memories!!!!
 
Misfits - It was 2001, we were invited to open the 
gig for them and  it was a great honour!!! we shared the same backstage 
room but I didn´t had the chance to talk a 
lot with them, but they were all very nice with the guys in my 
band!!!!
 
Exodus - they were the crazyest guys I 
had met in my life!!! on their first Brazilian Tour in 97, the last city on 
the leg was Curitiba, they arrived a day earlier and had a day off before 
the show.
me and a friend discovered that they were supposed 
to be in a Private Club that night and went there to see if we could meet with 
them!!! and so they were there!!!  and they were all very nice, mostly Paul 
Baloff, Gary Holt and Tom Hunting (who was the niciest guy of all)
there were a lot of bitches on pole dancing, and 
they were all drinking heavily like I´ve never seen before, doing coke and 
such!!! man that was crazy!!! they were acting like barbarian 
monkeys!!! then we gained 2 backstage passes and arrange to meet 
them the day after on the venue!!! 
the gig was pure shit!!!! a complete mess!!! they 
were all on a heavy hangover!!! fighting and shouting to each other on 
stage!!! really messing the gig!!! everytime Paul Baloff stoped singing and turned back to drink 
something, Gary Holt run front stage and kicked his pedestal far away!!! It 
was funny to see him returning back and looking after his mic and not finding 
it!!! 
the roadies had a lot of work this 
day!!!!
 
N.U. Unruh - I met him on the 
merchandising stand after the show in the city of Porto this year!!! he was very 
nice, we talked for about 5 minutes (there were a lot of people 
wanting to talk with him), and I told him that I was from Brazil and had 
travelled just to see them live!! he asked about 
some brazilian percussions and such!! than I bought a copy of the double live CD 
set of that night show that they were selling on the stand, he autographed 
the cd and we took some pictures together!!! he was very very 
amicable!!!!
 
that´s it by now!!! 
 
cheers
