*HAPPY IMMORTAL MEMORY TIME*
When they toured here in 2000 with Satyricon, they played a tiny club in Wheaton, MD called Phantasmagoria (one of our best metal clubs). You were not allowed to smoke inside the club, because it was a record store during the day and not licensed for smoking. So they had a "smoking room" to the side of the stage, where people would hang out before and during the show to get drunk, do drugs, have sex, etc.
At one point Abbath and Horgh came into the smoking room, and me and my friend Ben started talking to them. We asked them if they were going to breathe fire. Abbath says, sadly, "No, we can't do that here, the club owner won't allow us to." So Ben says, "Oh come on! You guys are supposed to be this evil Norwegian black metal band, why would you care what the club owner thinks???" At that point, Abbath proclaims loudly, "Yes! We shall breathe fire and strike fear into the hearts of all!" or something like that.
Sure enough, they breathed fire not once but twice during that show...and I found out later, that was the only show on that tour they actually did that at! A pic of the firebreathing from that show actually went on a Metal Maniacs cover. Never did find out if the club owner complained....but who cares?
