REVHQ FUN FACT
---------------
Did you know in April 2001 (obviously pre-9/11) when Life's Halt and No Reply were heading off in an airplane to play Chicago Fest, half of the
members from each band were kicked off the plane for suspicion of terrorist activity?
As the bands' connecting flight from Detroit to Chicago was about to take off, Noel (Life's Halt drummer) farted on Felix ife's Halt/No Reply bassist)
while loudly saying, "Whoa, ostile takeover" inspired by the movie The Family Man (2000) with icholas Cage which was being shown on the flight from
Los Angeles to Detroit.
As many of you know, this is not something to be joking about while on an airplane. Needless to say those were the words spoken. An off duty police
officer heard what Noel said and reported the comments to both the pilots and flight attendants. Moments later the plane was surrounded by police
cars. Felix, Noel, and John (No Reply guitarist) were kicked off of the airplane and banned from flying on any airline.
The other members remained on the flight and landed in Chicago not knowing what exactly went down in the airplane until the next day. RevHQ
screenprinter and HC celebrity Greg Bacon even got it all on video, but unfortunately the tape got confiscated in yet another police incident later on
that trip. Felix, Noel, and John arrived to the Fest in a rental car.
Both bands were able to play but afterwards the "terrorists" had to take the bus all the way back to Los Angeles. |
