Well.... oh, alright...

November 01, 2017 07:40AM
We did just do our Halloween Bash for the first time since 2015.. Had to cancel last year due to neck surgery.. also had to cancel two Valentines Day shows, so this was our first show in two years.. I'll do a more detailed write up when I get a moment, but here's a quicky version..

I'm sure you've seen the video on my facebook page of the intro and first two songs - Square Hammer by Ghost and Tooth and Nail by Dokken.. Overall, everything went well, no technical glitches, although we were told our intro, in which I really boosted the low end rumble, blew 3 power amps at the club.. Oh well - shouldn't buy cheap power amps.. Smoking guitar worked great, DMX lights worked great, huge crowd, still waiting on good pics to come in from a couple of pros who shot the show.. I bought 4 more scan lights and reconfigured the light show, which looked really cool.. We did have one of two strobe lights that cratered, so will need a new one..

Nothing out of the ordinary happened.. it was my first show since surgery and I did have some physical issues.. 3 songs left in the night and I really, honestly, didn't know where I was.. I either sustained a mild concussion or something, which has happened before, but never onstage.. Anyways, I got through it fine, but still hurt like hell today on Wednesday..

A guy just sent me this pic of the guitar just starting to smoke.. Why he cut my head off is a mystery! Must be art, or something... Oh yeah, that bullet belt I'm wearing weighs ten pounds...!




Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
