I gave a begger (young 15 yr old girl) a bus fare she wanted 2 bucks I gave her 25 bucks I felt generous that day being I had a huge tax return  Flippers got us Kreator tickets as we couldn't afford em at the time they were for sale  Both of those are awesome, especially the first one. I once gave money to this girl, in her 20s she looked, because she said she was starving. I talked with her for like 2 minutes pleading with her not to spend it on drugs, alcohol, or smokes, because i had to catch a bus. If i didnt need to catch the bus i would have bought the food myself and given it to her to ensure she did get food and only food. Lol - just read skrabs post. |

At the TUSKA festival last year we were put onto a bloke who had some tickets for the saturday and sunday for 40 Euro each. Complete stranger we met at a gig at the Tavastia club Friday night arranged it over the phone with another guy for us...good deed done to us.
The Saturday we were sitting in the park waiting for GammaRay to come on before we went through the gates, having a few beers with some locals... there was a young fella going around with a plastic bag collecting empty beercans and bottles etc and hauling them back to the shops to scrounge up some money to get himself a ticket. Apparently someone had one to sell for 60 or 80 Euro and he was desperate to raise the funds.
I dunno how many trips he had to do to make the 20 Euro he had when he came to sit down with us and have a rest. This in itself was a good deed as not only was he raising his funds, but he was also helping to clean up the park of empties. He was so sincerely desperate to get in to see Children of Bodom as they were his favourite band ever, you could see the worry in his face that he might not collect enough cans on time to see the band.
Good deed number three in this story.... Flippers pulls out 20 Euro from his wallet, hands it to the young bottle collecting man, and points him straight in the direction of the fella who sold us our tickets for 40.

Flippers pulls out 20 Euro from his wallet, hands it to the young bottle collecting man, and points him straight in the direction of the fella who sold us our tickets for 40. That is great Good deed: Storm and I called Finland a few times to get this big honcho onto MOZ and Flippers to see if they can get backstage passes..of course we couldn't get them. when Iron Maiden tixs were sold out I called overseas for them and pretty much talked crap and got them two tickets also used visa for them as they never had a credit card at the time..good deed back we got a Maiden tour tee shirt from Finland wooh thanks |

If it weren't for you two we wouldn't have gone in the first place.  Seems this Finland trip was full of good deeds every which way but loose... The big cheese upstairs must've been smiling down on everyone surrounding it. Oh just remembered more good deeds in there..... Ringing you guys up to listen to Maiden playing REVELATIONS... and previous night ringing up our other mate who thinks Sabbath are just absolute GODS, to listen to them play Fairies Wear Boots.  Apparently people were looking at him funny as he was walking down the street to go to work screaming THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! down the phone |
