I met the band PANTERA many years ago. I heard of them while getting a tattoo at Papa San's in Arlington, Texas. Then I welcomed them to Philadelphia at the Trocadero Theatre less than a year later. There probably wasn't more than a couple of hundred people in attendance that night but, you certainly know the rest of the story from this point. One of those fine people is no longer available to speak with. Diamond was the first name he used before going to Dimebag. I will always know him as Darrell...

The NEW REVIEW from me to Yew
For the time period of 1/27/08. I just saw a great show the night before. It was down at the Paledog and it rocked out. Tonight we're going to go up to Philly to the Troc. Its in support and sponsorship of Praying Mantis Productions. The bill consists of World Lost,Of Years Passed, Beyond Dishonor, Sunless Dawn, BTS, Beyond the Lies and Forge Fallen. So we load up the SUVwith the camera's, t-shirts and all the rest of the assorted merch for our VidDREAM table and then off we go. We get just about into town when my headlights randomly started blinking on and off. Kind of like I was signalling to get around someone. The further I closed in on the Troc the more the blinking rate increased. I was paniced, so I decided to go home rather than risk the motor stoppingcompletely. On the way there The damn dashlights and the headlights went black. No lights on I-95 ride by the way> I'm switching all kinds of shit like a madman. We get to the Chester border and I try to relieve some tramau and I turn the lights back on. Whoopie, they came on and stayed on until we reached homebase. It was three days later when I got the freakin' bill. It was for a faulty module and cost $450.00. Thats the short version of why you didn't see The TINKs Table at the Troc. .~~>TT

Do you Wanna
If you have input that you think would be benificial to the Metal Masses and you want to get it out there, then you are reading in the right place. The TINK has numerous awards and accolades that have been sprinkled upon his work for over 18 years in the bounce-around world of heavy music. The reason I tell you this is I'm at a point where I have mentored many over those years and I need like minded people to share the work load of getting that metallic fuel to the hordes of sword swinging metal mongers. So here's your chance to defecate on the mundane swill that is overtaken our precious music. Join me now, BOB. Send what cha got IE: photo's, art, cartoons, writings, music, books, zine's, film's, video's, records, posters, rock apparel, wrist bands, band gear, instruments, fine jewelry, yourself and or any promotional items to; The TINKs Inc.

This time we elect another twenty year veteran of the charged music world. This is a group of guys that we at VidDREAM TV always go and see when they're in town and most usually grab a video interview with also.
