not my story...
So I went to school with this kid. He even has his Downey High shirt on in the pic. He was 3 or 4 years behind me so I never really saw him at school. But every time I went into the local music store, he was there. I had already built a reputation of being one of the better players around so he would follow me around the store and ask me how to play this or that, what guitar he should buy, etc. Nice kid.
I just remembered him as Jimmie.
20 years later, I ran into a local musician friend of mine who used to work at that store. We were reminiscing about the local musicians - whatever happened to this guy or that guy?
I finally asked - what ever happened to that goofy little kid with the big teeth and long hair? I think his name was Jimmie.
He said - James Hetfield?
I was like - No. This kid was skinny with long hair and could barely play.
He said - Yup. That's Hetfield. I guess he got better. Ha!
So I didn't realize until I was 35 that I went to school with Papa Het.
Flash forward another 20 years and my son is touring with Metallica. But James only knew my son as Synyster Gates. So when I met him I asked him if he knew my son's real name.
He said no.
I told him it was Brian Haner Jr.
His jaw dropped. Totally remembered me from when we were teenagers. We ended up having a nice chat. He told my son I was the best player from Downey. I said - not anymore. lol.
So funny.
Small world.

Not many others can do it better than Dimebag. This riff goes so hard.
