- Rush - Radio City Music Hall, Iron Maiden - Hammerstien Ballroom.
It’s hard to get a chance to see that many shows since we’re playing all the time, but I try to make time to see my childhood favorites.

Bomb Squad show at the Paradise on September 18th, we were filming our first full show DVD/video that night with 7 cameras! The place was jam packed, and everything just clicked, it was one of those perfect nights, great musically, and the vibe from the audience was killer!

| Artist You Are Most Excited About in 2005 |
- Stephen Kellogg a singer songwriter who I grew up with just signed with Universal Records and will release his new album in February. Javier, another guy I grew up with, is a singer/songwriter R&B artist and is working on his 2nd disc for Capitol Records. And Fuzz- probably one of the best guitar players out there right now, who also writes amazing songs.

| New Hobby Discovered This Year |
-
Playing baseball - Bomb Squad is cut down the middle with the Yankee/Red Sox rivalry. On the road, every chance we got we took it to the field and played fast pitch baseball, with hardballs and wooden bats. Every once in a while we’d muscle one out of the park—granted, we were playing on little league fields!

| A Memorable Moment From the Road in 2004 |
- A notable performance was watching jazz guitar legend, John Scofield, sit in with the Bomb Squad and play a James Brown song. He used my guitar and actually popped my E string! Funny stuff…but he always tears it up and it was cool to sit back and watch him play with my band.
