Put it this way, they are now humble.

They have went down a little bit in popularity (they have never been popular in Massachusetts, their last headliner here apparently sold only 500 tickets in a 2,000 capacity venue), but as much as I hate to to say it Asking Alexandria is HUGE. Trivium would probably still be opening for them right now even if they had increased their peak popularity from when Shogun was released.

I think that they would have at least got co-headliner if they were at peak popularity.

I try to respect people's personal space and time and never really try to meet anyone anymore except local or real low level touring acts who really need the support so don't have anything bad to say about anyone.

Except John Cale. In a signing line. Horrible signature and wouldn't look at anyone. If he didn't want to do it he shouldn't have done it.

I've seen Marky Ramone act like a dick, though not to me. And it was more of a private moment riding in a car with him so I guess he could be forgiven for not having his public face on. Richie is still my favorite drummer. And he's cool.

All the Megadeth guys were cool but this was in 1991 when Dave was consciously trying to rebuild the brand into something bigger and there was a lot of excitement about what they were doing.

Absolute coolest ever has to be Kim Deal.

I'd still do that.

The guys from Skeletonwitch are extremely nice as is Black Dahlia Murder.

I've never met anyone myself but a friend of mine met Lemmy and said he was completely awesome.

Could have met Exodus since they were singing autographs during Testament's set at Megadeth's Rust in Peace tour but I wanted to watch Testament.

You can add the guys to Hour Of Penance to awesome they hung out after the TBDM show and talked to whoever about whatever extremely nice.

Karl Sanders- Really cool guy talked to him also he signed my Annihilation Of The Wicked and my brother had a busted up face that he got skateboarding and Karl told him to take of his face.

Vinnie Appice was super nice. So glad I got to meet a Metal Legend and the drummer on some of my all-time favorite albums.

Eric Peterson. Bit distant at times, easily distracted, but very cool. I now have my six favourite Testament albums signed

Dax Riggs....well anyone who heard my interview can figure this one out.

Vogg from Decapitated: Soft spoken, but very cool guy.

Morgan Lander from Kittie: For as much as she gets hit on, she is a cool chick to everyone.
