Joe's Story
oh man,where do i start.alright after high school i didnt know what the hell i wanted to do so i built houses for a while.that lasted about three years.during that time i got into a band named toxic shock(what a name,i know)we played metal music(overkill,testament,slayer,metallica and alot of our own stuff)i was the singer.played around the area,places like colemans in rome and utica,syracuse,rochester.made enough for the band room rent and some beer(ha).i did that for awhile.during that time i still needed a backup plan just in case the whole rock and roll thing didnt work out so my full time job was an auto technician but my heart was in being in a band.being in that band was the best time of my life.this is going to sound like an episode from behind the music b...Expand for more
ut there was also some dark times.everybodys demons were starting to surface(mine were ragin') did some things that maybe shouldnt have been done(but fun at the time)it just wasnt working out anymore,so we ended it.now its time to wake up and feel real life slap your head off your shoulders.the band ended around '94 i hung out in rome till '98 than moved out here to north carolina to take a job offer.still working on cars but the pay is alot better.still seeing joanne from high school.no kids just two dogs and a mortgage...ha...ha nice area up towards the mountains.winters are way less severe.well thats about it,or thats all i can remember(its been a long strange trip)still love music and being a rebel but you have to slow down sometime(i guess)...alright,peace out
