I'd hafta think about that a while..

but right offhand I'd say Scott Gorham (guitarist) from Thin Lizzy was a SUPER cool guy to me, and I was just a teenager and he still spent a lot of time yakking with me.. So was Brian Downey, the drummer.. but, fill in guitarist Gary Moore (quite famous) and bassist Phil Lynott were Dbags.. totally..

Vinnie Vincent (replace Ace Frehley in Kiss) has gotten a really bad rap over the years for being unreliable and DBag, but he was TOTALLY cool to us and we actually got to go to a private room and hang for a while.. I also talked him into letting get the guitar is was about to leave with, so that's pretty cool cuz he can really shred..

Chris Holmes from WASP was CRAZY cool.. and just flat out crazy.. Blackie Lawless (my hero at the time) was a DBag to us in person.. Chris made him chill out and talked him into letting us use the dressing room.. Drummer Steve Riley was super cool, as well..

Got to drive Judas Priest around when I was a teenager, and they played here in town, and they were extremally polite and kind.. Really good guys.. Same for UFO (minus my hero Michael Schenker) who was also on the same bill..

Eddie Money was a super cool guy that I got to hang with twice on two different tours.. He remembered me a year later, which was flattering..

Of course almost grew up with the guys in Pantera.. Darrell and original singer Terry Glaze were both awesome.. Rex and new singer Phil Anselmo were Dbags - couldn't really stand either one of them.. Vinnie was ok, but always bragging about their accomplishment.. Ok dude - I get it!

Lotta other people I've met over the years.. If I think of anyone else, I'll chime in..



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