That guy is me. And I'm still sorry.

Seeing Peter Steele IRL must have ruled though, the guy was larger than life. I only ever listened to Bloody Kisses cause my dad had it on repeat along with Kiss Unplugged one summer in elementary school, but I still put it on at least a couple times a year when I want to hear something heavy.

My only embarrassing concert experience was wearing a Green River T shirt to a Mudhoney concert about a decade ago. If you don't know grunge, Mark Arm the singer from Mudhoney was also the singer in Green River. It was a small venue and when I got up to the front of the crowd and yelled "Hey Mark! Check it out!" and pointed to my shirt. He looked at me, rolled his eyes, and started the next song. Wouldn't even glance in my direction the rest of the night. As far as I know all those guys are still friendly with each other, so not really sure what I did to earn his ire that night...
