We hear about “bucket lists” and “dreams come true”, 10 years ago tonight, thanks to Stefan Adika, I crossed a HUGE one off my list and got to play with Edward Van Halen!

I will fast track the story-

Stefan’s band “The Starfuckers” was hired to play a private party, a at Van Halen’s house. Stefan knew how much of a Van Halen fan I was, and put me on the gig!

So the day before the party, there was a “rehearsal” at Ed’s house. It was absolutely surreal. The best part of this whole experience was that somehow Brian Tichy (who was on the gig) and I ended up alone with Ed in his 5150 studio for an hour!!

The famous “Shark” guitar on the back cover of “Women And Children First” is hanging on his wall, along with many other recognizable guitars of his. He starts telling stories and “philosophizing” to Brian and I, and we are just looking at each other like ” Is this really happening?”

The party the next night was insanely fun.

Here is a clip of us playing “Jump” that night- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEvGe2ljPbw

A night to remember for sure- Thank you again Stefan!

This was the release party of Ninn Worx production Sacred Sin , there is a video out there its called the Gathering for the rest of the party
