Jägerbomb
By Ritch | December 12, 2009
Fucking hell!
I’m just coming up to the grand young age of thirty twelve, I’ve been playing drums for most of my life. Have been in bands for most of the time I’ve been playing drums, and have been drinking for most of the time I’ve been in bands playing drums.
So why is it that until the show that we just played in Helsinki, I’d never had a Jägerbomb whilst on stage?
Those of you who’ve never tried one, I suggest you do so at some point over the festive season, or sooner, and those of you who have tried one, will know exactly what I’m on about.
I mean, it’s not that I wasn’t having a great gig already. In fact it started off great and just kept getting better, but then I heard (what I can’t imagine is a very common sound at a gig in Finland) A vaguely familiar sounding Welsh bloke at the front shouting “Ritchie, fancy a Jägerbomb?”
Be rude not to now wouldn’t it.
So there we are, one song later and not one, but two of these cheeky little thirst quenchers turn up.
Egged on by the whole crowed I manage to down both drinks in the space of a few seconds and then it’s head down straight back into the set for a few more Wildheart classics.
Now I’m not sure if the combination of Jägermeister, intense physical exertion and Redbull is all that clever an idea, but I have to say that immediately after consuming said drinks I began to play the best I’ve ever played, the band was the tightest we’d ever been, the songs were the best songs I’d ever heard, the crowed sounded like angels, and the lights………good god the lights……..And at that point I realize that Scotty is pointing a mic in my face and I’m singing The Duck Song.
Damn! How the hell did that happen?
Thanx Steve, you bastard!

tjk – It’s a shot of Jägermeister dropped into a glass of Red Bull: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%A4gerbomb
One of those drinks that seems like a good idea at the time….

Ritch. the pleasure was all mine! It was good to chat again on Friday afternoon (all be it in far too familiar surroundings for me!) and I hope you had a great gig last night in Joensuu- the weather not too cold for you is it?
Hope to get you a re-fill next time you’re over. Take care.

Just like Jyrki said, the Duck Song crowned the great show!
Unlimited appreciation and thanks to the Wildhearts for making this the best year in my life!

It was probably spiked with something else

Marjorie I can guarantee it wasn’t spiked- I bought them. The initial plan was to challenge Ritch to see who could finish 1st (he beat me the last time), but the security wouldn’t let me drink one, so Ritch had a bonus one. Ginger got a Fisu.

I have recently found gambling games with 300 deposit bonus UK. So, if you want, go and choose the game and play.
