So it was this time last year, in the unholy year of 2007, that the true meaning of thumbs down became apparent in a place called the Button Factory (not very nekro) in Dublin. The deliverer of such an evangelical revelation was none other than Attila Csihar, Mayhem's enigmatic Hungarian frontman. We all know what thumbs down means as a general, worldwide rule, up for good, down for bad. Atilla somehow managed to redefine thumbs down and give it a completely new meaning. His onstage 'altar' comprised of two pigs heads, two candlesticks and a plug-in globe that he would spin maniacally, stop at a random part of the world and give it the unholy thumbs down. It was at that point that I knew...
If you can't be bothered to watch the below in its entirity go to about 4:50 to witness the most unholy, double-thumbs-down-in-a-candle mankind has ever seen...
