Sevendust: Hot Day Talkin' Bout Cold Day Memory

Stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire, drenched in sweat, covered in dirt, and my kiddos asking when we are going to be there, (camping that is) a phone call comes in to my cell.  The call I have been waiting for, has reached me at the most f'ed up time.  With the voice of Lajon Witherspoon of Sevendust coming through, we begin to make arrangements for some quiet place to start our talk.  After promising the kids that I will give them ice cream if they just let me have a few minutes alone, it's now time to get down to some business.  This is what LJ of Sevendust and I talked about:

Shockwave Magazine Presents the Summer Kick-Off Party Bash Thingie

News image

 (Click Here To View More Photos Of The Show) {jcomments on}Well even tho we got the date for our show at the last minute, it seems like I had waited in anticipation forever for June 25th to get here. Of course when it did get here, I was running around like a turkey with it’s giblets cut off, along with the rest of Shockwave’s staff, to make sure all the last minute details were taken care of. But once all of the many boring, behind the scenes stuff that it takes to put on a Thingie (just strap it on right? I wish it was that easy) were done, it was show time. The doors cracked at 7pm, and the masses flooded in (my buddy Tom Masses and his brothers Pat Masses, and Steve Masses). From 7-8pm people made their way inside, grabbed their free Esskay hot dogs, free Monster energy drinks to wash them down with, stopped to get a picture with the lovely Baltimore Mariners cheerleaders (who hung out all night), and started the party. There was one scary moment right after doors opened, when “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” by Warrant was blasting over the speakers. Not that...

Steel Side: July Edition

You go to a great show, and as you’re leaving you are still rockin’ out in your head. Walkin thru the parkin lot to your car, thinkin how much fun you just had, your mind wanders and you start daydreaming (is it still day dreaming if the sun’s not out and it’s nighttime?) about how cool it would be to rock for a living. You happen to see a couple of band members with a crowd around them, getting high fives, poundin the rock, and autographing a fantastic set of boobies. Lucky bastards, you think. Well stop wishing you had a band that kicks ass and do it. I know what you’re thinkin, “But Justus, I don’t even know where to start.” Well that’s what I’m here for. I’m gonna tell you how to make a metal band in 6 easy steps.

There was one scary moment right after doors opened, when “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” by Warrant was blasting over the speakers. Not that I hate this song, but it was my job to make sure this event didn’t turn into 1989, and at this moment I was failing miserably, cause we were on the way to time traveling. But luckily, the manager Ian helped me find Matt, the sound guy, and a crisis in the making was averted. I had a chance to actually stop running around for a few minutes and talk to the two awesome cheerleaders, and let me tell you they were not only very nice, and highly attractive, but funny too. At any given point in the crowd, I kept finding myself standing next to Baltimore rock royalty. Whether it was the guys from King Belvedere, Silvertung, Second Impulse, White Knuckles, or anyone else, local stars were all over the place. And then, the music came.
