it was a different experience for me.
I didn't feel like my friends were experiencing the same things with music.
It was like, it's really all I cared about, all I wanted to do from the time I was 10.
And that was because we brought home To Hell With The Devil by Striper.
And
By the grace of God, my parents actually let me see that show.
Like our youth leader at the church was going to the show and I went in Spartanburg, South Carolina to see Striper.
What was that like?
When I was 10 and my mind was blown.
I didn't know that could possibly exist.
Like all the lights and like everything was just so epic.
Hair and the spandex.
Lots of hair.
So I don't know.
That just blew my little 10-year-old mind.
And I could never get away from that.
That was always like, I have to do that somehow, some way.
And ended up starting my first band in college.
And we sounded absolutely nothing like Striper.
Nor can I play guitar like Striper.
