on The Chadwicks:
Favorite
Chadwicks moment:
This
one time...at band camp...it was Friday the
13th, a full moon, and I wasn't wearing any
underwear. During the concluding moments
of our show, I tried to swing my guitar up
over my head and around my back in a very
dramatic 80's metal-type-fashion. Something
I've done successfully hundreds of times.
I launched it up good and hard, but the guitar
didn't come back down. For a few moments,
the laws of the universe ceased to exist.
Reality became very distorted and I was certain
that I felt an ebbing in the force.
It was very frightening. I thought that
perhaps my guitar had been abducted by aliens.
Then I looked up. It turns out it had
gotten stuck on some pipes in the ceiling.
Low
down on the band mates:
Dallan:
Very difficult to get close to. I don't
even feel like I know my own self.
Gary:
Monster drummer with a monster in his pants.
John:
The brains of the operation. Not that
he's a licensed physician or anything.
I mean he can't technically operate.
Not on a human being, anyway. But, he's
very smart. He probably could if he wanted
too. I mean...if the medical board had only
been a little more open-minded in their review.
He plays killer bass, but that doesn't mean
he'd ever lose any patients. However,
I'm pretty sure he's losing his patience.
Tim:
Singers. They've all got LSD (Lead Singer's
Disease). You just can't get them to
shut up. The world needs guitar solos
too you know. We don't always have to
listen to what you have to say, Tim!
Alright, I'm calm now....
