Origins of your nickname

John Killeen was a very close friend of Chuck's, & the band, along with myself, he was some say "a living Saint", & a great person.
After is unexpected Death(heart attack or stroke), Chuck & Eric decided it would be cool to name their rehearsal & recording studio after him, his nickname was "Driftwood" or "wood" for short, & thats were the past couple albums were recorded. We miss him dearly, & think of him often, telling funny stories, & letting his memory live on, he always had a way of making people feel special & supported Testament & the music scene in general, to the fullest, & lived life the same way to the fullest. He worked at the Oakland Coliseum, were Chuck meet him. It seems like he was just here...................:( :( :( .............We miss him greatly, glad you asked, I always wondered if your nickname was related to him, but thought it must be something else, but I'm glad you have chosen it, he would be honored, may his spirit live on forever....................................:)

Well, first I tried to register here with my real nickname "Zeus" (no further explanation necessary, eh?) and then with "Spirit Crusher" (Chuck Schuldiner owned!)
So, my actual nick is taken from the "Known Space" Universe of Larry Niven :D
