Sounds like you've almost had a rebirth on the drums with the electronic kit.. That's really cool - I wished I could be reborn on guitar, but not much out there along the lines of freaky cool new stuff - especially for a hard core Marshall guy like me.. Hopefully something comes out and I get fired up, again..
Same here with the drunks.. "Dude, you're Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoad's love child!".. that sort of thing.. That's why I HATE when people video us and put it on facebook, or something.. cuz then people can watch later, when they're not drunk, and form a completely new opinion of me lol
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
