Who
are these semi handsome dudes? They are the band Stone Bogart. Yes,
that is me in the ugly jacket. I am sorry about that. |
 |
Matt
Sorum & I backstage at a Camp Freddy show. Meeting Matt was
very cool! He was in two of my favorite bands ever... "Guns
n' Roses" and "The Cult". He now plays for another
incredible band, "Velvet Revolver". Matt told me how he
makes his BBQ'd Zucchini...I hope to cook with him soon! |
 |
Tom
Morello from Audioslave...the king of rock! I absolutely love his
guitar playing. When I was in my old band I used to watch RATM concert
videos and dream of seeing that kind of success in my own musical
life. The guy can ROCK an arena! |
 |
Here
is me with Chris from Camp Freddy, Janes Addiction, and Alanis'
old band. This guy is a great bass player and it was cool meeting
him. Chris currently plays in Panic Channel w/ Stephen Perkins,
Dave Navarro, and Steve Isaacs ...That's A GREAT band! Bassist never
seem to get the credit they deserve...so I'm giving it to him "CHRIS...you
ROCK!" Why isn't he smiling? :) |
 |
Here
I am with Eric from NOFX. I'm drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon and he
has blue hair. That was about all we had in common. A pleasure to
have a drink with him for sure. I have been a fan for over 10 years. |
 |
This
guy's name is Jon. He is a friend of mine. Back in high school he
was in "the cool band". I was always jealous of this guy.
My band mainly played in my friend's basement |
 |
This
is me and my bro hanging out with my Grandpa. He is responsible
for my love of country music. My grandpa can wrestle down a steer...what
can you do? Nothing near that? Settle down sissy! He taught me to
fish and hunt and also gave me a strong respect for nature. |
 |
Mike
Dirnt from Green Day & I. I learned a lot of his parts from
their first record when I was learning to play bass. He is a great
bass player and a nice guy. Is he dumping beer on my shoe? It was
my "too-many-ith" beer so I didn't notice. |
 |
Here
is me "near" Jason Newsted... formerly of Metallica.... |
 |
Here
is me gettin' creepier and closer to Jason. I didn't actually talk
to him, but I did intend to mention that he kicks ass! |
 |
Um...is
that CC Deville? YES IT IS! Be jealous! He was my favorite character
of the 80's. He had a band a few years ago called "Samantha
Seven" and they were incredible. You think you know CC...but
you have no idea! He is PURE ROCK! You may remember him from a little
band called...POISON! |
 |
Looky
who is rockin' the BASS...why it's me. I am wearing leather pants
in this picture... again, I apologize. Seriously though...Stone
Bogart was a cool band. The cabinet behind me is my Ampeg V-9, it
is one of my most prized possessions along with my MUCH loved Fender
Precision Lite that I am playing in the photo. FOR BASS PLAYERS:
It's cheap, has a Jazz neck, thin P-Bass body, and both Jazz and
P-bass pick-ups (active)... and they don't make them anymore. If
you have one, please surrender it to me. |
 |
Me
and Billy Sheehan! He played in David Lee Roth's band on the EAT
EM' & SMILE TOUR. That tour inspired me to start playing music
and dreaming of being a rockstar. Thank you Billy...thank you! |
 |
People
say, "Is it fun to hang with the Rock & Roll Chef?"
Look at this...and know, YES IT IS FUN! Notice my "Atomic Records"
shirt? The best record store in the country and it's in Milwaukee
Wisconsin. |
 |
Matthew
Sweet and I at NAMM 2004. If we were in a band together...we would
look cool. We have that similiar kinda "over it" look.
He is a great songwriter! |
 |
Minutes
later...I was "near" Paul Stanley ! I was gonna tell him
that KISS is great...then I remembered that I don't feel that way.
I like KISS a little more than CREED and that ain't too much. Weird
huh? Everyone loves KISS, but not me. |
|
Yep...Ron
Jeremy! We were taking about the great food at this party...then
a weird porn chick came by and he lost his concentration. My time
with him was fun, he is a legend for god's sake! |
|
This
was taken backstage with Greg Behrendt and Norm MacDonald. Greg
took the pic...so he can't be seen. Norm was super cool. I love
Old Navy too! I told him my idea for my stand-up routine I wanted
to try...he said if I did it he wanted to see it cus' the crowd
was gonna HATE ME! I never did it...I am a wuss. |
 |
Vernon
Reid of Living Colour and I! I loved those guys...and come to find
out...they are still rockin'! |
 |
That
can't be...yes it is! It is Pam Anderson and a (much much) younger
Rock & Roll Chef. She was super dooper nice...but look, she
is wearing a "No Fur" pin! Would she eat ribs with me?
NO?!? Then forget it...I'm so OVER her. She was very sweet and it
made my 20's to hang with her ONCE. |
 |
Here
is me at Whiskey Beach. Whiskey Beach is a part of my parents property...You
gotta love it! Even my parents have the Rock & Roll spirit.
My dad showed me The Doors and The Who as a kid. I am forver thankful
to him for that. He is also the man who taught me to light a grill
and tap a keg...GOD LOVE HIM! |
