Backstage Pass

This page is a tribute to my years as a stagehand.Stagehands are the unsung heroes of every concert ever seen. This is a portion of my collection of Backstage Passes I received over the years working as a sound and lighting technician, busting my ass until 3:00am in the morning for some arrogant rock star. I have also included some guitar picks given to me by the musicians and some autographs as well. Just click the artist to see the Pass.

The following is a quote by Henry Rollins, that I found taped to the inside of a road case, on "Live's" Throwing Copper Tour "97"

The wise words of Henry Rollins best sums it up...

" Listen to the stage manager and get on stage when they tell you to. Know one has time for the rock star Bullshit. None of the techs backstage care if you're David Bowie or the milkman . When you act like a jerk, they are completely unimpressed with the infantile display that you might think comes with you're dubious status. They were there hours before you building the stage, and they will be there hours after you tearing it down. They should get your salary and you should get theirs.......................................Lollapalooza Alumni.
