Dave Mustaine & Dave Ellefson join me for a chat. I’ve heard Mustaine is a dick. He’s always been cool with me. We had the band in for a private acoustic show. During which, Sacramento Kings bench-warmer, and walking freak show, Scot Pollard decided he wanted to attend. Mustaine called him out during the show. Dick move? I don’t think he intended it as such. Who knows?

The fact that this band isn’t bigger than so many who are lesser talents, is a crime.  Plain & Simple. They do it better than most bands. They’re the nicest, most hard-working, kind group of Southern Gentlemen you’d ever want to know. I’m proud to call these guys friends. One of the many fun days I’ve had with the boys from Sevendust.

This is (along with “Stand Here To Pee” & “Only Scott Knows Why”) part of my famed “Creed Trilogy.” Remember when they were near the end the first time, and canceling shows?  They blew off Sacramento twice due to “illness.” Except Stapp was well enough to play a corporate gig in SF the night after the cancellation. Fans had had enough, and I was the conduit through which they spoke.

Before becoming Jacoby Shaddix…he was merely a Dick. He rolled up for our interview, on a Segway. Exactly. Gotta give him credit though. He was *way* ahead of everyone else when it came to playing around on one of those things. Now, ever mall-cop in America rolls deep on one. And yes…Coby says bad words during this interview.

I’ve been nominated a couple of times for “Music Director Of The Year” by Radio & Records Magazine. It’s pretty cool, and I’m flattered for the recognition
