My uncle on my dad's side used to jam with Areosmith in a bar in Boston before they really got famous, he is the one that got me into playing guitar after my grandmother died when I was like 14. Coincidentally, my aunt's sister(by marriage - never met her) on my my moms side of the family is married to Tom Hamilton.

I met Eddie Furlong and Gene Simmons when I worked as an extra on the set of Detroit Rock city.

I drove a '71 'Cuda and a '70 Superbee in a few back ground scenes and also played a t-shirt vendor.

Eddie was pretty high most of the time. I hung out with him and a friend for about 20min just shooting the Sh*t.

Talked to Gene after a shoot. He had taken off his makeup so not too many people recognised him. He was about to autograph a hat for me when a small group of women recognized him and began running towards us. Security rushed him off but he made sure to toss me my hat back. Cool guy.
