Any Spinal Tap moments during the year?

Delaware... We set up to play, check the sound and rung out with our first note, and much to our surprise.. Eddie was no where! We hit the note again, thinking he would jump out any second.. still no Eddie. After about 7 ringout's, Eddie sprints onto the stage, winded , and we start the show. It turns out, he was dead asleep! He randomly woke up to come check out where the show was at, and there we were, just ringing out over and over again.. it was hilarious.

Plans for the holiday's?

Excited to spend Christmas at home with my family this year and not in an Australian airport :)
I must say, having a 3 year old son makes the holiday season a lot more fun. I get to re-live my childhood!
I'm having a giant new years party this year, that will kick ass.

New Years resolution?

Work less, spend more time with the people I love.

Plan's for the band in 2010?

2010 will see All Shall Perish touring with the almighty Machine Head in Europe, Recording and releasing our fourth studio album, and doing the Summer Slaughter run in the summer. There will be much more, but thats all I know of at the second.
