For a bit, it looked like my drummers Girl Friend was going to leave on Slaughters tour bus, but that's another story.
Haha!!
I caught a girlfriend making out with another girl on the Tantric tour after their show. My old roommate
and friend that shared the same hometown when we grew up, and moved to Lexington,KY as an adult got hooked
up with them to be a touring member in 2004. Their 3rd show was only 100 miles away so I asked a young lady I had
just met the weekend before if she wanted to go with me to the show. She did. After the concert she had the band
sign the ass pockets of her jeans, and my bud Kevin looks at me like, "Is it ok?" I look back, shrug, and said, "I met her
3 days ago. I don't care."
Later, Kevin and I are drinking some beers as the crew loads their equipment. Talking outside the bus. He invites me in
and the girl I showed up with his macking with this other hottie in front of one of the flatscreen TVs. I thought, "Damn,
this is a fun night."
That was the first time seeing Shinedown, too. Before the show, Kevin said, "You have to check out the singer in Shinedown,
they are going to be huge. He's amazing." Nailed it! That was in support of Shinedown's 1st album. I recall the bill being
Silvertide, Shinedown, Tantric.
Oh, the gal didn't leave with the band. We bailed when they had to leave and head off to another town. We did stay together
for 5 years and have a kid together, though. I liked her adventurous spirit!!!
