Devil May Care

Metal Monster badass Rob Zombie still crushing the airwaves~ 30 years later! White Zombie came out so freaky funky heavy! John Tempesta laid down giant badass groovin drums. Jay Yuenger ripped the guitars in half while Sean Yseult owned the bass and much more. Playing with Pantera(T was on tour with) She almost married the tour bus driver Tony Wiggins. Where she met JT and eventually would date later on. Johnny, one of my biggest inspirations of all time. He treated as an equal and family. Great dude! Incredible drummer. Can’t say enough good things about him. Tony Wiggins on the other hand was one of the wildest and most real Rockstars I’ve ever spent time with. He was dangerously fun to put it lightly. Another chapter(sorry). They were wrecking stages across the globe. Live shows eventually became awesome visual freak circus hard rock shows on steroids. Incredible! The story has mass depth and many perspectives. Very inspiring. All I know is when I learned how to play Thunderkiss 65 in 1992 with Steve Harris from Galaxy Music off Memorial Drive everything changed. My Stepdad threw away my copy of the album(fueled the fire even more) which at the time and still probably is in some minds we’ll say touching on some indifferent subjects. Luckily BMG had my back and a new copy oddly came in the mail the very next day. I’m going to release some wild stories that I think are funny, inspiring, synchronistic.

If you dig this type of stuff? Please comment or like it or whatever you do to help me know you dig it and I can keep doing it. Put one of your stories up. My creative people. They can be about anything. I Love hearing other peoples wild stories. Will eventually release local stories to show awareness of hard work musicians and what they go through. Thanks for anyone that has read this far.

10 years later in 2003 I left College my 3rd year to move to Los Angeles, California. Pursue the Dream... Ironically my stepsister T and JT were calling me 2 or 3 in the morning LA time. When the drummer for White Zombie is calling you Bones over the phone and asking you what your doing with your Music, Life, whatever. We’d talk until the sun came up. I dreamed of LA and the Rockstar Dream... It was time to reevaluate my opportunities. Oddly our band Hiatus was losing our bass player. He had to move to Florida to get away from his addiction. He’s an accomplished Author now. One of the greatest souls I’ve come across. Other stories we will get into later. We had recently recorded at Tree Sound Studios and still needed to mix and master. I felt we were onto a néw exciting sound. Mastodonish way before them. Helmet meets T00L with Deftones hair and a Primus nose. Nowhere near as complex. Well... When G was in the band yes. We lost G, our other guitar player 2nd year in College. I took over all guitars. G, Barnes and I started the band in middle school and were called Sn**ch. We had some bangers. Dog vs Dawg was no joke. Anyways the band was ready and folded before we even had a chance. We had a handful of shows. Playing 9 Lives, 40 Watt, the Masquerade. It was killer, people dug us and always said great things that we needed to hear. We played hours back in those days. That was the best part, jamming and creating songs out of jams. Than our drummer my best friend since middle school says I’m going to go play with so and so, they have booked shows things going on. I thought we could get another bassist. Could see in his eyes we were different at the moment. Soul breaking, he didn’t care. I knew right than the Music Rollercoaster is not controllable. Not his fault and good for him. You can only do your part to make things better. Loyalty is a tough pill to swallow with other musicians. Bands are the hardest most complicated magical thing on the planet. Musical chemistry is key and what we had was deep. Too deep to take further. We would’ve died. Shook the World but would’ve cost us. It did with zero success. Think I moved to LA a month or so later. Getting T to contact Nuclear Blast and Century Media Records to clear, license and use there music and help build a catalogue for MTV. The doors opened. T now needed an assistant. Time to work with some of my favorite bands In Flames, DEVIN TOWNSEND, Soilwork, Devil May Care and the mighty Meshuggah and everyone else I’ve ever wanted to work with, well almost... Still living the dream while trying to help others with there dreams. Thank you Guitar Center for the new chapter. Well more like another book that is a 777 part series. Whatever, new Rob Zombie crushes. Some of y’all aren’t ready for this, but your kids are gonna love ❤︎ it...
Mainstream kickass insanity, awesome~
Get some...•*•~¥~•*•...
