John's Story

Life What's up fellow krauts! hee hee.. Just think, most of those guys calling us krauts are most likely still living in Mexico freakin' Missouri in a damned trailer on welfare with a bunch of dirty kids stinking' up the place! Well... I've been through quite a journey. The last 20 some odd years....AWESOME! I followed my heart and ended up going to Hollywood to become a pro drummer. Got crushed violently. Made my way back to Lake of the Ozarks and took over the family business running a steak&seafood house. Wasn't bad and the tail was high class. Ended up catching the bug and moved back out west to Las Vegas to pursue the drumming career. One of my buddies Blas Elias ended up in the last MTV hair band "Slaughter". Hey.. it was kinda cool hanging out with rock stars etc.... I really learned important stuff like how to flip my hair correctly. I ended up playing in a disco band in Vegas for several years called Boogie Knights. We never played for less than 5k! 1998 I was seriously injured in an accident. I had a routine left knee ACL replacement and was butchered! This surgeon (who shall remain nameless) put my damned graft in my knee like an inch in the wrong direction. Anyhoo... I had a German doc straighten me out. I can still whip ass on the drums... don't worry. My next lessons in humility were just beginning. I got married t an 18 year old girl and ended up living in Germany from 2001-2005. Now I know what it's like to be a Mexican trying to learn how to deal with living in a piss ass rural town in a foreign land. I didn't know a damned thing when I got over there. Ultimately.. I am seriously impressed with Europe. I lived in Badem which is close to Luxembourg near Trier Germany. My Wife and I had some great times together until my knee took a crap due to the negligence of my first surgeon. While I was recovering she thought it wise to find her some sex ...Expand for more
on the side. Well I found out and I left her dumb ass. Upon my return to America I got in the Mortgage biz. I can do it.. make big bucks.. but I hate it!! I'd much rather play drums. So.. I hooked up with a 26 year old prodigy by the name of Stonewall Jackson. We have a band called SCARRED. Scarred is awesome folks! Check us out at scarredmusic.com. We seriously have contention with several major labels. As well, I was playing at BB Kings in Memphis last February. After my show I was approached by the house sound man ED. He introduced me to Chepito Areas the timbale player from the original Santana band. Turns out, Gregg Rolie and Neil Schon who went on from Santana to form Journey, Carlos and Chepito are going to make a Santana reunion record fall 2006. I have been asked to replace Mike Shrieve's from Woodstock drum solo fame as the original drummer due to his un-availability. This is a huge break for me and my band. Through my connections with Santana and the fact that I now have the honor of being a part of a Santana project, I am now in a position to discuss the Scarred record with members of upper level management from Sony and Capitol Records! Life is good people. I still haven't had kids and my wife were separated a year and a half ago. I've had a few girlfriends but mostly I am focused on getting my music career off the ground. It's tough but I've never given up. It's gonna pay off! Currently I'm thinking of hooking up with someone who will want to have a family. Not easy! So... I'm healthy.. don't even come close to looking my age and I'm about to be a household name. Earlier in my life, I didn't deserve the good fortune that has recently been bestowed upon me. I guess it's about time. See... good things can come from our training in extreme organization. I use it every day! Best, Johnny Marsi AKA John E. Marsicovetere, Charlie Company 1981-1985
