I waited on Michael McDonald at the Biltmore in SB. Nice guy.
Also waited on Mariah Carey. She used an alias, not nice.
I used to party with the guys from Rebelution when they were nothing more than the college band playing in the background at 65 block DP in Isla Vista. Glad to see they've made it. -
I played little league baseball with Duff Mckagan.
Also, went to a fundraiser at the Playboy Mansion in 2002. A couple of guys from the Knack were in my limo on the ride over from UCLA. They didn’t say a word. Alice Cooper was at the event. He could not have been more friendly or approachable. -
My shit garage band opened for 1000 Maniacs (Natalie Merchant's old band) at a bar in Dallas called "Bar of Soap." We also were a regular house band at the Houston punk rawk club called The Axiom which was a location in shit Winona Ryder movie "Reality Bites."
Got high with Mark Farina a few times.
Was briefly married into the Autzen (of the West Hills Autzens) crime family.

I helped the format set up when they played at asu
It was kind of weird. None of them spoke to each other the whole time. Then they broke up soon after and that d bag guy started that shit band Fun -

Security Stories from days past.
Stone Temple Pilots show. Lead singer Scott Weiland kept stage diving while yours truly manned front center stage. The fourth and final time I "helped" push Weiland back on stage I gave him an extra push that sent him tumbling. Whoops. I grinned.
AC/DC: When Angus —staged and carefully orchestrated— came to drop his drawers we had to move in to keep the little peckerheads from leaping up to get a piece of Young's Union Jack skivvies. Getting slugged in the head by 5' TUFF longhairs looking to impress their pock mocked girlfriends while Angus tickled his fretboard, egging them on against the minimum wage muscle the band paid to protect them was special.
Ozzy: Pre-show an ENT arrived and shot him up with steroids for his vocal pipes, followed by a B-12 pick me up. Pleasant, frail, old chap. TUFOS. -
The singer of Fun or Jack Anteoff or whatever his name is?Pitchfork51 said:I helped the format set up when they played at asu

What can I say, they were still on their first 1000 maniacs back then. Natalie Merchant was already a total bitch though.DerekJohnson said:
