Spike came to me, introduced himself and said that I´m a very good fast drummer.
Then I told him that Dirty Rotten EP is in my top 10 hc/punk records and that it was the first CD that I´ve ver bought.
We talked some more and he seemed like a nice dude.

I haven't listened to DRI in 25 years, but that lyric seemed familiar and my first thought was "is that DRI?" It's weird the things that stick with you.

Cool!
Yeah, he is nice. I wrote him when they were going to be playing Don Hills in NYC in 2003 as well actually. It was when I first started writing for music mags and I asked him if we could do an interview. He's also originally from Long Island and I thought that was a cool connection or something at the time ha I did that to Dave Dictor too. But anyway, he got me into the show and we went down to the basement and did the interview. I saw them at least twice after that and never paid to get in to one of their shows again because of him. When they played Long Island finally in the town next to mine, towards the end of their set, the bassist saw me and told me to come hang out backstage. He actually quoted from the intro to my article. It was so weird but awesome! It had to be like two years after the fact There was hardly anyone at the show so that was disappointing but then backstage they told me to come the next night to the show at the Knitting Factory in NYC and they'd get me in. I was kinda wary that they'd remember but I got in okay. That show was packed though so I didn't get to talk to them but it was cool.
It was sad when Spike was diagnosed with colon cancer - that could totally be a death sentence (I know) but he made a recovery.

25 years without Dealing It With is just wrong. I reviewed that record in the first issue of my rag.

And who's this guy?
