This is a story that decided to rehash in my brain due to a rating that Dead_0hi0_Sky left someone else in one of their posts.

fuck you, alice in chains owns me.
and nothing else.
-----------------
I used to think Alice in Chains ruled too. Until Layne Staley died, that is.
That and the one time I worked a show Jerry Cantrell was playing, before Layne died, that is.
I was brought onto the tour bus.
Jerry said, in a gruff manner," Who are you and what do fuck you want?"
"Well, I am your personal security guard, assigned to you by the club,"I replied. "I hate to sound like an ass, but Alice In Chains was the reason I got into music, and the music industry. Is there any way I could get your autograph upon the very first tape I have ever bought, with the money I earned scraping dogcrapand other dirty deeds?"
He turned to me and said,"GO FUCK YOURSELF. I could care less than you or your stupid story about music. If this show didnt mean I would make some decent money, or had anything to do with my own solo career, I would have you flogged, and I wouldnt even bother to play this show! Now get the FUCK outta here! I will sit on the bus until I am scheduled to go on, YOU will escort me from the bus to the stage, and will be promptly escorted back here after I sing Rooster."
I then proceeded to break said tape in front of him.
I left the tour bus, and the only time I saw him was when I escorted him from the bus to the stage. When people threw anything at him or tried to get onstage, I let it go for a minute. Right after he finished singing Rooster I escorted him right to the tourbus. After that was done I told everyone who asked me where he was where he would be, and could care less. Did it bother me? Not in the least. Did I get reprimanded by the club? Nope. I did everything that was in his writer, and everything the club manager could ask.
The band that opened for him was cool, though. SWARM. From what the lead singer told me most of them used to be in the band Morbid Angel. I dont know if that is true, but the dude gave me all their cds, and signed them without asking him. They still sit unplayed, now in storage.
the picture is something I did on the draw a pig thing on B@W. it stayed for like 3 days, I was proud of myself.
