Dammit, hare to hear this. I got to hang out with him on a video shoot 6 or 8 years ago and he was as cool as they come. Those guys were working hard too.

Could be. I can't say they were my close friends, more so my roomie Jaysen, who unfortunately drowned in '88. Then I lost touch with all those guys. I was more the tagalong. But still!

We did go to Joe's Garage, The Basement, Savvy's, Circle A Ranch, Theater Gallery..... etc for tons of metal and punk shows back then.

Yep, me and my friends hit most of those places regularly in the late 80s. They played, and knew they guys that way. like you, I was just along for the ride mostly. lol
