Laugh if you want to, really is kinda funny, 'cause the world is a car and you're the crash test dummy.

How big are we talking? If you mean a couple gigs like the Wacken Open Air Festival and Rock in Rio, yeah - I'll take a couple of those a year. Are you kidding? Being onstage with 100,000 metalheads screaming their asses off? Wow.......

I remember many moons ago while doing a vocal check at a Davey's gig, I said, "Welcome to Hastings, not just a place but a state of mind."

Wayne's World 2 is one of those rare sequels that's actually just as good as the original.
"He's the electric horseman, you better back off!" - old sKool making a reference to the culturally relevant 1979 film.

Dive bars. I love the biggies, too, but if I could only choose one, I'd choose to play more often.
Still, playing BG festivals is just pretty damn cool, each gig lasts 3 days, and you could literally play 24 hrs/day including jams.
