Back then Blackie, Chris and the boys use to throw raw meat at the audience. I am talking huge steaks. I remember one time I hurled one back and nailed the drummer, just missing Blackie. Also if you run into me, ask me about my Blackie bathroom encounter I had at The Troubadour right before they did a weekend stint to raise blood for the Red Cross. Those were the days!

In the 1980's our band The Metal Dogs would practice for hours every day in her garage and she never complained once. God Bless You Mrs. Larson! Wayne, a top notch drummer, was my band mate in The Metal Dogs and also Precious Metal. The Metal Dogs went down in infamy for being the band that incited the riot at Willie Bass's (Black Sheep) North Hollywood Studio. That was an insane frickin night concluding with a guy being murdered right in front of us. That was also the night that I met Tissa, the runaway street prostitute. Boy I could write a book!

Welcome back to the rock magazine that just will not frickin die!! We have had every possible thing attempt to destroy this zine but we keep on coming back for more abuse and to dish out plenty. After a marathon ordeal over the old domian name we have moved to www.sugarbuzzmagazine.com. Of course you know that already or you would not be reading this! So here we go again. You may notice things missing from the old site. Yeah we lost some shit along the way to our new home. But new stuff will be added and things will be revamped a bit. Keep on the lookout for some really cool articles and interviews in the days and weeks ahe
