Yeah... I'll be playing the roles of roadie and guitar tech. Pretty awesome since I listened to them a lot when I was younger. It's just for their Southern California shows, but the experience along with free admission and free drinks is going to be nice.

You should come out to the show January 4th at the Hollywood House of Blues.

Looks more like an after a wild nsync concert :razz:
 
Congrats on landing a great gig, here's some important rules to remember:

- Crabs can jump six feet

- If they blow you, they'll blow anyone

- Absolutely no kissing (see rule 2 above)
 
[quote name='CrimGhost']Hey ask Sebastian Bach if he can get me Steve DiGiorgio's autograph...oh and his too.[/quote]

Sebastian Bach hasn't been in Skid Row since around 1996. Johnny Solinger is the singer now. They're not even the same band anymore. Their last album was horrible. Their new sound should never be compared to the late 80s-mid 90s Skid Row.

That sucks. What's the point of seeing Skid Row now? I was going to ask if Sebastian Bach is as much of a dick as he seems on TV, but that's kind of pointless now.

let's all toast to Great White and say a little prayer
 
I saw Soundgarden open up for Skid Row years ago in Chicago. I was with a very hot girl too. That was a very good time...
 
That's actually pretty cool. Be prepared for a long day of lugging heavy ass equipment, but if you're into the music business, I'd say Sebastian Bach's not a bad guy to take some tips from. They've been around forever, and still draw a pretty decent crowd. He seems like he'd be a fun guy to be around.

If they're in Anaheim, get me tickets.
 
[quote name='neocisco']I'm going to see if Winger has any positions open.[/quote]

No, man. You want to tour with Slaughter before you go with Winger. Or Warrant, for that matter.

Personally, I keep hoping to get invited to tour with Jackal. "I'm a lumberjack, baby!"

What about White Lion? I've also heard the Bulletboys have decent benefits.

Yeah, their porfolio is pretty solid. Plus, "Smooth Up in Ya" is one of my favs from when I was a young lad.

Definitely avoid Ratt though. Their 401k is in the toilet.

How are Dokken's benefits these days? I hear that they have a full-time nanny that they tour with, for when the roadies can't leave their young 'uns at home.

Now that's generous. The only thing Firehouse does is let you use their timeshare in the Poconos.

Damn. I had thought that Tesla's outstanding expense account and flex-spending allowance was nice, but a timeshare in the Poconos? Sweet!!!!!!11

I got 3-weeks paid vacation and 20 personal/sick days when I was with Stryper. Plus, all the Jesus-loving music and worship I could stand!
 
[quote name='CrimGhost']Shit, I'm going to see if Stryper is hiring...[/quote]

They might be. I hear that they just got rid of some bad apples who were accused of embezzlement.
 
[quote name='PKRipp3r']Rough Cutt and Black n Blue just told me u guys r ghey

+10 for the Jackyl mention

no quiet riot jokes?[/quote]

Yeah, I hear they're looking for a new lead singer. Perhaps they'll do "Rockstar: Supernova"?

I gotta give myself a -2 for the Jackyl reference. I can't believe I spelled it wrong!:cry:

and the kids going insane over a box of Ozzy shirts

Stryper? Yeah, I heard that too. They were accused of putting King James bibles in the tour bus as a practical joke.

"Awww, man, we SWEAR they were NIV!!!!"

+1000 for the Gorky Park mention. As a person who spontaneously gets the strangest (and worst) music stuck in his head, I will swear that not 3 days ago I had "Da" stuck in my head, when I hadn't thought about that song in perhaps 12 years.

Stryper had possibly some of the best costumes in the history of Christian rock. Yellow and black attack, baby!

If I can find all my old tapes, I am converting that shit to mp3. Especially Bullet Boys and Stryper. I hope I didn't throw them out after I got my cd player...
 
[quote name='CrimGhost']Scott is a throo nigga...[/QUOTE]

that pic is dope. i like that he gets his deserved props from the now crowd

for me it has to be ian+belladonna or it's not Anthrax

i wanna make a custom stryper skin for my player
it would be yellow & black leather and say 'TO HELL WITH THE DEVIL" all around the sides. :cool:
 
[quote name='Matt Young']I'm not getting paid.[/quote]
So it's slave labor then?

I don't understand why anyone would work for someone without getting paid. Unless your rich and don't need money then your time is meaningless anyway.
 
I met skid row when they were around here. A girl I know's family is good friends with the guitarist. He looks pretty insane but he's awesome. Hope you get some good stories out of the whole thing.
