F’n beautiful day here in DETROIT ROCK CITY! I woke up bright and early at 2:30 p.m. I grabbed a coffee mug out of the cupboard, and it reminded me where I bought this mug. I was working at Miki Vialetto’s famous London Tattoo Show in London, England in September, 2012. It was the best tattoo show in the world, I did it every year. That year, there was a big concert celebrating 50 years of Marshall Amps, on Saturday that weekend. I think my buddy Nick Bowcott got me on the list, or maybe it was Kerry King, I forget. I took my bro’s Christian and Dave (R.I.P.) from London. What an amazing night! Everybody was there and played. Kerry King, Zakk Wylde, Nick Bowcott, Yngwie Malmsteen, Doug Aldrich, Nicko McBrain, Mike Portnoy - Mike introduced me to Doug Aldrich, one of my favorite guitarists. Me and Dave got to hang with Nicko from Iron Maiden, Dave was the biggest Maiden fan in the world. A special night I’ll never forget. I was in the right place at the right time! @marshallamps @nick.bowcott @kerrykingmusic @mikeportnoy @douglasaldrichguitar @mikivialetto @freakofnature666
