Location: Over the Rainbow. | Where to start, SIMPLY AMAZING, where the hell did the time go!
Got there and met up with The Pope and KLO. Seeing the Pope dressed up was a SITE FOR SORE EYES and Ms Klo was absolutely ravishing and they both looked like they too should have been getting out of a limo walking the red carpet. Grabbed a bite to eat then onto the line of spectators watching all the Stars of the day getting out of their limos. Met up with Saber at this point and a nicer guy you cannot meet. We BS'd about TS for a bit, Sorry Mayor it just fit lol, then tried to figure out who all the stars we're getting out of the limos. We saw most of the people listed get out of the cars but if I, had a dime for everytime no one knew who th epeople were and they were automatically lumped into the Brooklyn Bridge 1 that woiuld be the bisggest band in history and you'd need a book just to list the revolving door of band members 2, I could retire! lol Need less to say there were many many people we didn't know until they were announced at the ceremony.
Next in the story is the Lady that has become known by many names through the years on the Slamboard(s) and our meeting was one of the funniest stories I have to tell and do tell it every chance I get our very own The Mayor or Donna Donna or DCT or Queen of the SMF's which probably worx best here caused she looked Regal and, Saber said it best, Stunning! It truely was going to be a special night.
Walking into the theater and sitting there waiting for the band to receive their awards you couldn't help but think where the hell did the time go. 30 years man seemed like yesterday they were playing covers or all pumped about INGUN, You know I had to get that in there someplace lol, and cursing the record companys for having broom handles up their ass. lol And not knowing shit from shineola about music. Always making the fans feel like they were included by giving us play to play updates in their battle for recognition. Well Boyz last night you reached the pinacle of all the years of busting your ass and hardwork put into this thing of ours and in my eyes no one deserved it more and it was a true honor and special feeling sitting there as you received your awards and having the floodgate of memories opened up from yesteryear to that moment. CONGRATS!
This is taking on arms and legs but I HAVE TO MENTION our very own M.A.M. was included in the Star studded ALL STAR JAM at the end of the ceremony and we all know how he can beat the shit out of his poor guitars and his usual style of metal musicianship it was a real eye opener to see the man play the blues. Going from one extreme to the other he played with such finess and, lack of a better word, softness that at one point The Mayor and I just looked at each other with jaws dropped and I know I was thinking WHO KNEW! He was still pulling notes from thin air and running his riffs but for a total different genre. ALL I can say is the man is a true well rounded musicians musician with many facets to his musical ability. SIMPLY AMAZING !
Lots more but I'll save some for the othetr SMF's to write about.
Have some pix I will post soon as I get the chance.
