OK, I know I claim to be a Metal God(and rightfully so), but this past weekend I was humbled by the precense of a far greater diety in the realm of Metaldom. Fate somehow aligned me to be onstage with Jeff Becerra of Possesed as he sang "The Exorcist" with my friends in Sadistic Intent. Every fan in the Knitting Factory was screaming, and all I could see in front of the stage was a wall of arms throwing horns and grasping for him. I was in my usual guitar tech position(standing behind the amps), but to have even been there was an honor.
I met Jeff for the first time the night before at a Dark Realm in-store, featuring Shane Embury, Nick Barker, and Dark Funeral(who I ended up guitar teching for as well). Jeff and I became instant friends, and I stupidly turned down an offer to jam with Jeff on bass and Emilio from Sadistic Intent/Asesino/Engrave on drums(I must admit I was a little intimidated in the presence of such greatness as was there in that building). I did watch Jeff and Emilio jam together, which was really cool.
