I met most of the original members of the band Kansas. They'd practice in my cousin's basement.

I met all the members of Manilla Road and hung out with them at their house (who the hell are they?)

I met Amy Lee . . . (in my dreams :24

I was a huge fan of Alice Cooper early on. In the mid 70's he had Steve Hunter play guitar. Hunter also played on what I think is one of the best solos live with Lou Reed which was Intro/Sweet Jane

Back about 5 years ago my daughter had a project for school where she had to interview somebody. My wife had mentioned that at the Roller Rink she worked part time at that there was a father who was a regular there who brought his daughter on the weekends. She said he had something to do with the band. She thought he was a roadie.

So this guy who I had seen but never talked to comes to our house to be interviewed. I could hear a little of the conversation and then when he left I asked a few questions.

Turns out the roadie was not a roadie. It was Steve Hunter. That was his stage name. I never got to talk to him. I would have kissed his friggin feet.
