Haha yeah I don’t think sitting during a concert works for most pop, rock and metal genres. Except for the drummer ofc! Imagine going to see Pantera and they sit on chairs during the whole gig. :rofl:

All this talk about RC Cola reminds me of “RC Cola and a Moon Pie,” the version by NRBQ, anyway:

Sounds like an upright bass in there. . .

Depends

To be fair, anyone who falls off the stage, breaks their leg and comes back to finish the show can sit for the rest of his career as far as I am concerned

I love Dime. My all time favorite guitar player.

I even have a DEAN (his major brand) bass model MetalMan ML (the model Dime alwas played since winning them in guitar contests as a kid over and over til they made him a judge to keep him out of tge contests).
Piont is I always had a man crush for Dime.

But unfortunately (hangs head in sortow midfle finger in the air for dime)
He did not make it to his 40’s, let alone his 50’s
And if he did, I am sure he would stand on stage, but sit more off stage.

Hell, Phil usually only had a mic in his hands on stage with them , not even carying an instrument, and could hardly stand on stage by his 30’s.(without self medicating).

The correct answer here is Rockstar (since we just bought it and I spent the two years of Covid integrating it into R&D and therefore also helps pay for gear), however, I don’t touch the stuff, Red Bull is/was/no more my poison of choice.

I got to meet Dime and Vinnie Paul when I was a kid. Vinnie was at the local mall Christmas shopping, and Dime came in to the music store I worked at doing the same. He pulled one of his signature Washburns (at the time) off the wall and asked me to show him “the most fucked up pedals you got” :smile:

Vinnie’s house just went up for sale for $750,000.
