The Central Valley Boys. Those guys are great. I'm friends with Pete and Dave. And you should see their lime green suits.

My band will not wear suits. We play bluegrass, but were all into heavy metal, punk, and classic rock.

My friend's high school garage metal band was called Screaming Fetus.

I had a couple of friends meet him and Alex after a show back in the late 80's/early 90's. They said that both of them were extremely nice and gracious, and gave both of them Big Money. Big Money being oversized, novelty dollar bills, each with one of the band members' face on it.

You said that you are trying to get your foot in the door with the record company for promotion and contacts. In my opinion, I think it could probably be achieved easier if you were to leave the 25 minute epic off of your EP, and just submit the shorter length songs. As mentioned above, an exec...

The answer is Frank Zappa. The answer is always Frank Zappa.

Most of my band's hate comes from roommates/family that have to hear us practice.

Fountain of Lamneth.

My friends got to meet Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee after a Rush show once. They were given Big Money, oversize novelty dollar bills, each with a different band members' face on it. As for myself, I've got to meet Gene and Dean Ween, Terry Bozzio, Lemmy, Geoff Nichols, Bobby Rondinelli, Jeff...
