1. Gravity Kills
The first time I saw them, I met vocalist Jeff Scheel because my Dad used to work with him. Every time I saw them after that Jeff always made a point to talk to me. Good dude.

2. Radish
After they opened for Poe & the eels in '96, I ran into them in downtown Dallas. They asked me what I thought of their set; I told them I thought they sucked. Ben Kweller told me, "that's cool, man. We get that a lot."

Average listal rating (183 ratings) 5.3  
8. Limp Bizkit

11. Tripping Daisy
I was at a CD release for another Dallas band when vocalist Tim Delaughter first talked to me because he recognized me from seeing me at shows in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. I eventually became such good friends with the entire band that I earned a permanent spot on their guest list.

They're from Dallas, so I've met most of the band.

the giraffe's rating:

15. Billy Corgan
Met him in a club in Dallas where another band was playing (Ugly Mus-tard). Smashing Pumpkins had played the venue before & he'd dropped by to see if they could sneak onto the bill. At the time they were touring with the Rolling Stones. The venue turned him down, but told him he could come inside & see the show for free & have any drinks he wanted. He was pretty dorky.

22. Anthrax
Met Scott Ian after a Dallas club show they did. I'd caught the band's attention that night by wearing my Public Enemy t-shirt & John Bush motioned for me to come forward in the crowd so he & I could do "bring the noise" together.

Average listal rating (39 ratings) 5.9

Met Dave Williams back before he was in Drowning Pool. At the time he was singing for a Dallas band called Fugly. He was a super-cool dude & the only thing Drowning Pool ever had going for them. We used to talk and hang out at Fugly shows & when I'd drop by the Blockbuster Music store he worked at.
