The Quote Of The Day:

“It seems that the problem is very deep
cause everytime I try to sleep
I have nightmares, thinking about getting together with you
no no I wouldn’t say so I would not call it a curse
but what worries me then is when I wake up if it might be worse. . . .”

hello everyone 🙂 theres a lot of things being said on the list about
this guy vs. victor thing. i dont know either of them personally, but all
this stuff being said about guy really isnt fair. on may 3rd they had a
show in nj at this place called the birch hill (were any of you there?).
after the show i met the boys. and they were all cool. brian seemed a bit
off in wonderland or something and wasnt talking much. understandable.
gordon was cool too, but guy i think was the nicest out of all of them.
guy and i were talking for a good 15 minutes, and with screaming girls
around and a bus waiting and being tired after a show (which they played
wonderfully) i think that was so nice. and he remembered the ring i gave
them with bugs in it the november before that at the stone pony show in
nj. (that was november 22, was anyone at that one?) he seems like such a
nice person that i really dont think its fair that people so bluntly make
fun of his teeth and things like that. personal preference on drumming
skills though is totally different though.
hmm, just wanted to add something in guys defense 🙂 bye

note : Jon Bohnam of Led Zeppelin played solo’s with his hands, and I
know many old jazz drummers did too. No originality on Guys part there.

If anyone has information on the Sept. 12th show in Montreal (Greening of
Mackay), I would appreciate it GREATLY if you could share it with me.

Thank you

Veronique
