I was sitting in the living room with my parents November of 95, doing some last minute studying for a history test the next day. It was late in the evening, and the tv was on. I didn’t pay much attention to it, as it was a program I wasn’t very fond of. Towards the end of the show they announced that a band was out with their new single, and they were going to premiere their new music video. When I heard the words “The world is a vampire”, and the music started, my eyes were transfixed upon the tv and I immediately knew that this song was special. Couldn’t remember the name of the band, though. The next day after school, I went back to my best friends house and I asked him if he knew what song I had heard. He just smiled and pulled out Mellon Collie and played the whole album for me. That was the start of a long and everlasting love for the band. I also got to see them for the first time in April of 96, during their European tour, in Oslo, which cemented my everlasting love for the band.
