And we got it for the weekend.
We took my first drum set.
And we got it up so I could stand up.
And then I had a relationship with a junkyard guy.
No one's supposed to be able to buy from there.
But I walked in and he's like, you're a curious little fellow.
And I'm like, hey, man, I'm in a band.
I want to get some kegs and stuff.
And he's like, you're an art student, right?
With the university?
I'm like, yeah, I'm an art student of life.
And he's like, get whatever you want, put it in a pile.
I'm like, I got cash.
And so I'd walk around and I'd get kegs and 30 gallon drums, 50 gallon drums, everything and anything that I thought had a sound.
So the original lead singer was a drummer too, and he felt he lost his way on drumming, and he felt he didn't have what it took for the technique.
So if they were going to do him and Paul and Joey, all those guys were in death metal bands, and Andy was a drummer, and he just...
felt he couldn't cut that drumming.
So he wanted to be a singer, and he can growl.
And to this day, he's the man.
