...if you're not going to lean into each other's backs and rock in time to the music together during that pivotal moment in the (Whitesnake) song.

Why even bother being in a band with your brother....

...Fatty play bass in...
fatty + metal
Hahaha.

Dude, you gotta love the Fatty! Check him out here doing the old "I will shoot you with METAL!" move that he probably saw Billy Sheehan do in a Mr. Big DVD box set that he probably totally owns. Hahaha. SOOO GOOD!

I left work a little early on Tuesday to head to Penn Station. I met up with Fatty and Kip and we hopped on a LIRR train...

That's when we found this gem! Fatty's driver's license from the late, hair-metal 80s. This is back when he was in a band called, and I swear I'm not making this up, Nasty Magic!!!

It totally looks JUST LIKE FATTY! I got a call from Grant and I was like "You need to come here RIGHT NOW and see this!"

Well, Vin took my feedback and pretty much nailed it on his second sketch. Hahahahaha. BINGO! I think we have a winner!

So after several emails back and forth, we all finally got to meet big Nick S. who'd been reading my site for a few years. Upon first meeting the Fatty he even had the audacity to give Fatty the "get a load of this guy" face. Hahaha.

Close-up. (How sweet is that KISS rock lettering?)

Oh, so I forgot to mention. On the walk over to Sarah's, I ran into my friend Emily on the street who pointed out David Lee Roth's new two-storey apartment to me. I won't give away his exact address, but suffice it to say, one of the floors has a prominent balcony that overlooks a heavily foot-trafficked area of the Lower East Side). Anyway, she told me that according to rumor, DLR was having a huge Fourth of July party on his balcony. When I relayed this info to Grant and the Fatty, we all decided that we had no choice: we had to round up a group and attempt to crash it.

Fatty half-heartedly rocked out in the backseat...

Fatty and Big Daddy.

Here we are at Fatty's apartment in the morning. After he was done showing us the wall-hooks he'd bought from Guitar Center to hang up his guitars...
fatty + metal
Then, somehow, we all ended up getting really, really drunk.

He's the Fatty: on a steel horse he rides...
fatty + metal
Haase, while Grant and the Fatty do their best impersonations of the shaved headed wunderkind. HA ha ha ha.

What we really wanted to see was the labyrinth, a torture chamber or even an honest-to-goodness Minotaur. (half-man half bull)

At this point not only were we ridiculously over tired, we were drunk taboot. We pleaded for Charlene to take us home and put us to bed.
fatty + metal
Hans, me and Fatty. Hahahaha. Soooooo good.
fatty + metal
Charlene called her friend Layla (who works for the company that promotes Carling Beer)...

We met these two as we were leaving. They were in town from England and when they heard that we were getting ready to take a trip there, they became our new best friends. The guy in the scarf was so drunk that we're actually holding him up in this pic.

I was trying to take a video of us rocking out but took a picture instead and managed to capture us in the midst of some pretty serious MetalFaces (check out Fatty pretending to play kit in the background with his DrummerFAce in full effect. Hahaha).
fatty + metal
Let's see...fifteen boxes divided by three guys = *BURP*
fatty + metal
Check this out: Fatty found his old drivers license back from his hair metal days. He played lead axe (that's guitar) for the infamous band "Nasty Magic." (And no I'm not kidding. Do you really think I could've made that name up?)

NIPPLE!!!
