That’s a horrible thing to say…how dare you. I’d be an astronaut.

BAND COMMENTS

Greg

Ken and I have seen this band through just about everything. For some reason, neither of us will quit. He’s got more drive than anyone I’ve seen. Or he’s stubborn. There’s that to think about too. Either way, me and Ken work better together than any two people I’ve seen, on stage, on-line or in a casino, we just seem to be able to read each other.

Pat

Forget the heart and soul – this guy is the Tony Soprano of the band. Nothing happens without his say so, but he doesn’t do any of the actual work. But seriously, he is a great guy, if you can pull him from his laptop or PDA long enough to actually talk to you.

But seriously again, all jokes aside, this guy is nothing like he seems to be. He seems quiet and unassuming, and then he makes a joke about your sister and anal sex. Then, you wonder if he was actually kidding . . .but anyway, a totally awesome guy all in all.

Eric

Weird dick

Der Konig: The king of our little world.  He rules over us with a mighty fist and a soft, firm voice.  He stalks over the crowd like James Hetfield and plays equally as furious.

He’s always the fun one to watch in the practice room when people argue, cause he just sits there smiling, and then whoops out a can of milk crates on ya to get everyone back on the same page.
