I had a bass owned by Ian Mayo of Hericane Alice/Bad Moon Rising/Burning Rain/Bangalore Choir fame.

Tom (Charvelguy) owns it now.

I remember that bass. Ian and I have a bunch of mutual friends back in MN. He played some of the demos for the second album at an after show party. I'm still pissed that never came out.

Wow this thread rules.

I still have "All By Myself" in my fuggin' head.

I owned Eric Carmen's bass..that's not really that "cool"..huh?

[horns666]

OK ..close to fame. I was in a band with Gilby Clarke's little bro Jaimie Clarke (drummer). We jammed with Gilby at his mom's house way before he was in G & R.

David Lee Roth was interested in us being his backup band years before The Atomik Punks. But my wife got very ill the first time and we had to split.

Umm... half of Megadeth (Eidolon) used our gear/ rehearsel spot. No biggie, but still cool!

My favorite thing was getting to watch my favorite player grow as a guitarist/band..Jeff Loomis/NM...but that's just fanboy shit.

Eh, no such luck for me. Closest I came was being friends with Nick Catanese from Black Label Society. shared a stage with him, and jammed on his stuff, from time to time. This, of course, was before BLS, in his old band, back here, in Pittsburgh.

I now own Tommy Bolan's Charvel Model 5A. Tommy was a guitarist with Warlock and Doro's solo band. I think he also played with NYC? I got it from David Fefolt who did the vocals for Doug Marks' band, Hawk. Yes, the same Doug Marks from Metal Method. David also sang for Alex Masi, a Charvel endorsee.
