A.I.R.
When I was 16 years old (17 years ago) I tried to get into a place called "Brassy's" in Cocoa Beach Florida to see one of my favorite bands - ANTHRAX. Didn't know it was a 18 and up show. Needless to say, the fucksticks at the door who didn't have a clue who Anthrax were, were not going to let this little metalhead into the show. Wouldn't even let me stand at the doorway and watch from there. Pissed and dejected....I walked around to the back of the club and Scott and then followed by Charlie came off the bus and walked straight up to me. They wanted to know where I got the long sleeve sweatshirt I was wearing. It had the "Spreading the Disease" cover on the front and the earth being covered with some yellow sludge on the back. I told Scott I ordered it through their fan club. He said...."We can't even get those shirts yet!!!" I told him he could have the shirt if he could get me in to watch the show. This cool motherfucker said " Nah you keep the shirt and follow me......" I walked through the back stage door. Anthrax opened with A.I.R., my fucking jaw hit the ground that someone could actually play that drumming live. I was a fuckin DIEHARD ANTHRAX fan for the next 17 years and will be till I leave this place.......
A.I.R. gets my motherfucking vote.
