Yea, its a LOT of fun. I've shared the stage with many of my idols growing up. We used to be very active, but have scaled back. I kind of got away from that for a bit. Its a great outlet for stress, plus there's no other feeling than playing music to thousands of people.
That is too cool! You need to drop some names; my ears are burning.
lol, there have been a lot. Some notalbles for me are Sevendust, Mastodon, Staind, Shinedown. The best though was looking off the stage and seeing guys from Metallica watching us! Unreal.
