Days of The New Lead Singer and Why I will Never Buy An Album.
This was about ten years ago but here it is. I was managing the kitchen in a local pizzaria. One of the daytime servers was also a DJ at a local Radio Station. He asked me and a couple friends if we wanted to work for the radio station at a concert that was coming up on the river. It was a big shin dig. There were about 5 big bands and then about 5 local bands. I jumped on it of coarse. Seven Dust was headlining, Puddle of Mudd was there, Days Of The New, and the others I dont remember. Anyway for Helping the radio station set up and break down we got all access back stage, free food and drinks, and it was all FREE!!!! Anyway It was an all day affair. One of my friends was going to sell a kidney to meet the lead singer of sevendust, Lashawn Witherspoon, so we were making our way to where there bus was set up to meet the band. Walking towards us was a shorter man with a woman on each arm, we werent really payin him any attention we were going over a gameplan for not looking totally stupid when we meet the band. When we got closer to the guy walking our way the guy sticks his hand out and stops us. He says "I know what you want", My friend and I look at each other like who is this guy Pffft. The guy reaches into a fanny bag, yes a fanny bag, and hands me 2 guitar picks that say Days Of The New. I looked at him and said "Who are you man?" The girls laugh and he storms off. I asked one of the girls what that dudes problem was, she says " That was the lead singer for Days Of The New." She giggles again, I laughed, my friend had to catch his breath from laughter. I thought to myself LOL!!!!!
On a side note we did meet SevenDust and they ROCKED!!!!!!! We got to hang out with the band. Even took pictures with Lashawn!!! They were very cool and down to earth. It was an AWESOME DAY!!!!!!!!
