Man, that is awesome!!! I ened to get back into working as a roadie, it was a blast even though I didn't get paid hardly

Joe Perry IMO is one of the coolest guitarists i rock n roll

Mercutio · 02-04-2009, 05:40 PM

gui524 · 02-04-2009, 06:57 PM

And btw ... what solos does Brad plays in Aerosmith ( i'm kind of a new fan )

BCRGreg · 06-15-2009, 10:37 PM

Bumped because it will be relevant in a few days....and because I have been accused of "name dropping".

PapaSquash · 06-15-2009, 11:08 PM

How do you stay grumpy through all this?

I don't know how I missed this the first go around.

Looking forward to whatever it is that is impending...

StrangerNY · 06-15-2009, 11:20 PM

Cool thread, even the second time around.

Have fun at the gig, Greg. I know you will.

markeod72 · 06-15-2009, 11:36 PM

Its great to be recognized for doing kick ass work and be damn proud and excited about it. Most People wish they could be that good at what they do much less love it as much. Congrats Greg!

MKLP · 06-15-2009, 11:37 PM

Greg, that is AMAZING!! You've lived a dream that so many of us have probably had. Good for you.

Cas · 06-15-2009, 11:44 PM

Thats awesome!! Aerosmith was the band that started my infatuation with rock and roll.

Thanks for sharing!!!!

God, I want Joe's rig so bad.

Fiery Father · 06-15-2009, 11:59 PM

congrats man that was an awesome story.

you are up there as the most seasoned and widely utilized guitar master i've ever met/known, and i know a few in LA that did work for big name but didn't have the down to earth ego that you do and unbeknowns to them, it lost them business and respect.

glad to have had the opportunity to do business and get an exe from someone who's so well respected through the world!

EEF13 · 06-16-2009, 12:02 AM

very cool

circusboy28 · 06-16-2009, 12:26 AM

Great thread, fantastic pictures. I think anyone who's ever played fantasises about being up on a stage like that, with all that gear, and wailing away. And I guess you got to meet Joan Jett as well??!! Mate, I'd drop all those names as well....and the sense of awe and gratitude in the way you write is obvious. Well done.

Mercutio · 06-16-2009, 07:53 AM

hey greg any chance you'll be at the aerosmith/zztop show at nissan this weekend? i'll be there!

roadsong66 · 06-16-2009, 08:10 AM

What a cool thread. It was like as if we got to come along with you!
