Scream for me blog readers,…SCREAM FOR ME BLOG READERS! Is what I’m sure Bruce Dickinson would yell at his computer screen if he wasn’t busy bringing the masses to their knees with the rest of Iron Maiden, on their “Somewhere Back in time” north american tour that I had the pleasure of attending, and screaming for when asked by the mighty Maiden frontman to do so.
Moving along,I nearly chopped of my pinky and ring finger yesterday while tearing some metal framing out of a doorway, which is fuckin scary when all of a suuden you realize,”oh SHIT!! Will I still be able to drum?The answer thankfully, is yes, but my hand will be out of commission for a couple weeks as it slightly resembles Frankenstiens hand.It took 8 stiches each finger but Im just glad I still got all my digits.Oh,I made sure to get booze on it right away, a little vodka always helps the situation cruise by.What also made the day a little brighter was recieving my “Tony Kirkham” Custom 2b drumsticks which I will give to the lucky person who can do the following.
Go to the following link http://www.vicfirth.com/features/warped_tour07.html and scroll down untill you see my ugly mug, watch the video performance of us at last years warped in NY and tell us the name of the two songs featured in the video, one of which is a cover(hint).
The first three people to answer correctly will recieve a pair of my custom drumsticks,and some tvbs and shine drum stickers.
1.view video at the link to get answer, http://www.vicfirth.com/features/warped_tour07.html
2.send the answer to the tvbs myspace

I did it so easy but I actually had a life of a sort today so I’m sure I was hours too late. Dang.
BUT I KNOW THEM! I’m sure we’ve all come to realize by now that had my day been a normal day I would have seen this the second it was posted and I would have been the first response. I think I’ll go back to not having a life again. Hahaha.

Noo! Damn my stupid timezone! I was even listening to Jefferson Airplane on the way back from work yesterday! The cover sounds awesome though, B-Sides and Covers album coming up? Please? Hahah!
Be careful with those fingers! I ran through a window about 7 years ago and nearly chopped off my whole damned arm which was a bit scary! It’s all good though, and chicks dig scars (apparently)…
I hope Rhiannon was one of the winners, or she’ll be as crushed as I am!
