GUEST BLOG: SKELETONWITCH’S SCOTT “SCUNTY D” HEDRICK

Sunday 1/27/08

Hails and cheers! Hope everyone out there is doing well! I'm going to start today's blog by doing what I should have done last time: introducing everyone in Skeletonwitch. (Where the fuck are my manners?)

Some of you might be familiar with our ugly mugs and may be wondering who the new guy is. Third guitar player? I love Skynyrd, but sorry, not it. Additional vocalist? Hell no! Keyboard player? Shut the fuck up! Cliff is our good friend turned road dog/merch man. I want to introduce him because he's a killer dude and he's out here busting his ass with nothing to gain but weight, smelly-ass feet, and possibly an STD. He's at damn near every metal show that comes through the Ohio area, so if you see him, tell him "hi" and get him high!

The show in Reno turned out to be pretty damn awesome. The crowd was large and went fucking crazy for every band on the bill, and we met a lot of great people (which I'll get to in a later installment). Can't ask for much more than that!

But Mullet Chad, our drummer, got a little more…drunk. I walked in to a conversation he was having with Nate about disgusting liquors and drinks. It culminated with us ordering him a ‘99 Bananas’ on the rocks. I'd never heard of that sick shit before, but I know it isn't meant for drinking straight. The bartender thought it was such a bad idea that she didn't charge me for the drink.

Oddly enough, he made me get him a second, even though he made this face every time he took a drink! A huge thanks to everyone in Reno for coming out to the show and making our first experience there a memorable one!
