The Man, the Myth, The Legend...

My buddy Randy Barr just put up his new site, Randy is an amazing musician...he can do it all, guitar, bass, drums, vocals, small engine repair, taxidermy, cosmetic dentistry...etc. He's like a tall, long haired, caucasian " Prince"...AND he'll eat the shit out of a plate of buffalo wings, not to mention he's just an awesome dude. He is currently trying to teach me how to play guitar, which is like trying to teach a monkey how to install a crankshaft on a 67 Camaro. He has the patience of a saint... he is the Mr. Miyagi to my Daniel-San.

His wife is ok too....:) Hi Nikki!!!!!!!


Check out his site and give his stuff a listen won't you?

AC/DC

OK...so, at one time in my life music didn't get better than AC/DC. Simple straight ahead rock and roll, great songs, Angus Young...amazing guitarist...etc, etc. I listened to them regularly, almost daily...

then...


then...came "the job"

I was hired at a screenprinting company, and there was a man...nay, a DEMON...a man who loved AC/DC more than me. So much so that he played AC/DC alot EVERY SINGLE F#$%IN' DAY. As they say..."too much of a good thing...." This viking from hell single handedly KILLED what I thought was unkillable, my lifelong love for AC/DC music. So you can imagine my dismay when I was offered to do a poster for them recently. On the one hand, here was a band I grew up worshipping, and if you told me back in 1981 / 82 that one day I would be able to design a tour poster for AC/DC, I would've shit my pants and danced a jig in my own poo. On the other hand, here was a band that I was SO TIRED of hearing, due to my co-worker playing them ad nauseum, that if I was locked in a room with their music on, I would've chewed my own ears off.

what to do...what to do...

In the true spirit of rock and roll, I put my current feelings for them aside and tried to remember when I thought music could never get better. So I threw on one of my favorite albums of all time, Highway to Hell and let 'er rip.

So here I present to you, the fulfillment of a life long dream....my poster for the Mighty AC/DC!!!!

Poster Number 50 and more...

...next up AC/DC!!! More on that in a bit...

Here's my latest poster for Motley Crue, I was such a huge fan of these guys when I was in high school...now not so much, but it was fun to do it for them, as Too Fast for Love and Shout at the Devil will ALWAYS have a place in my heavy metal heart.
