Bill Leverty from Firehouse and the singer. Can't remember his name atm. Bill was at every show I went to there for awhile(mostly thrash shows). I was introduced to him through a friend and were on a first name basis when I was twelve.
J. Mascis. My friend created the
freakscene.net website and somehow ended up working with them. We met up with him after a sound check and hung out for a couple hours talking music and gear. He was wanting to hang out after the show but we had kind of long trip back.
Met Rachel Bolan and Matt Sorum. I was 12 years old and trying a
Zoom device when Matt walked in and he stood by watching me jam Randy Rhoads and chatted for a bit. This is when he first joined GNR. Rachel was just meeting people.
Met the guys in Overkill during horrorscope.
Guys and girls in Green Jello.
Took some guitar lessons from Karl Sanders.
Took lesson from Karl Logan from Manowar for about 6 or 8 months until he got busted for Child Porn. That really fucked me up because I was going to his house. I had a bit of trust issues after that for a bit.
Took a lesson from Bill from Mastodon. Met the guys from Clutch.
Met King Buzzo from the Melvins. Oh met the original bassist and drummer from AiC during Clash of the Titans tour oddly enough Bill from Firehouse was at that show too. There is probably a lot that I'm forgetting. I've been going to shows since I was a kid in 1989.
Really the only person I haven't met that I would love to is Bill from Carcass(actually all the carcass guys). I've been next to a lot of people who I didn't speak too. Beside the singer from Valient Thor in the urinals, drunkenly bumped into Ice T while seeing body count and exodus, was standing by John Tardy from Obituary during redneck stomp.
