I met Mike in 05 before anyone really knew he was.
Creeped me the fuck out.
Kept asking people if they had a knife and then fashioned himself a belt with an old piece of rope he found and walked around like that.
Just an odd dude.
I've heard stories about his drunken lunacy at one or two of the MD BBQs, I guess people feel sorry for him because of all his issues so they don't share.

That was a fun time. Hope you're well ES.Me Artemis and Ant meeting up in Brooklyn...GOOD TIMES...and I was offering the tour years before it became hip to visit...
This was the first time I met MIke and a bunch of others from xiola also. At the jam in the park with Pete Mike came back from the liquor store about a prostitute trying to pick him up or something like that.I met Mike in 05 before anyone really knew he was.

He hit me up the next year @ Lolla also and I chatted with him for second at the kid's stage before Perry & Pete. Seemed a little more chill that time but definitely a quirky dude and Perry's biggest super fan.

Xiola will always have a special place in my heart. Specifically because it was where I followed everything that happened with Jane's between April 2008 and march 2010. Lot's of good memories. Glad we have this place now as well.

I don't even think that dude Erik likes jane's addiction. He just saw an opportunity and kinda latched onto it as a hobby. The guys favorite bands are Moby, Garbage, and Smashmouth.

Sounds like a good timeintertwoven wrote:Once I did a tape trade with Sonny and all the tapes had an annoying buzz on them, obviously the fault of his stereo system, not the recordings. When confronted with this, he shrugged it off and did not replace the defective shows. I held a grudge for a while. In the pre-Flac days, traders/collectors were pretty competitive with their collections.
That's my Sonny story. Now we're FB friends and everything's fine.
As for Erik and Mike, well there was that one time that we all smoked PCP and blew each other while Ultra Payloaded filled the night air. What a crazy night that was! Mike pulled out one of Perry's pubs that he carries around in his wallet. It was still wet from saliva (don't ask). Then Erik fisted me while reciting the lyrics to "Wrong Girl". I've never cried so hard in all my life. But truth be told, I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.

One of the cdr's Sonny sent me had a huge glob of what appeared to be orange cheese from 7-11 nachos on the sleeve.
Re: Your favorite "Eric and Handsome Mike" encounters
Did Sonny even see Jane's Addiction prior to Strays?

I'm sure Dave blocked me from Twitter because of my handle. He'd obviously read Xiola a bit and just assumed I slagged him/the band off, which was never the case. I've only really made musical criticism.elbuitre wrote:Xiola was very dramatic and emotional, especially Sonny's homepage rants. At least it was passionate though. I was surprised when I saw Sonny in the Eric interviews, he seemed far more chilled-out than I had expected.
ANR.com was cool for a while but it always felt a bit too fanboy-led. Xiola was the one the band looked at and it therefore had more kudos.
