A funny story: I saw you guys play here in Atlanta at the Cotton Club back in...I guess 1990? on the tour with King's X before ya'll got signed to Geffen. At that point, a) I couldn't drive, and b) with the sole exception of King's X, if it wasn't thrash, I wouldn't listen to it. So a buddy of mine won tickets to the show from a local radio station, and he's into thrash too, and in fact had no clue who KX were except that I dug them...he just kinda went. So we're standing there waiting for the show to start, and you guys come out playing "I'm Not Amused"...now I had seen your acoustic guitar sitting there, and when you came out and strapped it on I said to my buddy "These guys are gonna suck, they're going to start with a ballad!" Of course the song kicked in and I was hooked from there on, as was my friend. I bought the tour shirt as we left the show, and my buddy hassled me about giving it to him for months because he hadn't had any money to buy his own...so that was pretty funny. And then, I said to myself, "I HAVE to have their CD!!!" so I gave my mom incredible grief for months taking me to record stores every week until the debut finally came out!!! I still have the tour shirt...the one that was white with the horse and astronaut... My own personal GC testimony! =)
Anyhow, it's cool to talk to you after having been into GC for close to 10 years now (or however long it's been...)...it would be cool to send you my work to see if you get even 1/10 out of it what I have out of yours....
Later!
