I met Dug Pinnick a few years back and have his cell and still keep up from time to time. My freshman year at UT, during SXSW 2010 I went to Texas Rockfest and he was playing with one of his side projects at the time, Razr 13. At the time, I was standing against the wall by myself watching one of the earlier bands, as was he, and he came up and introduced himself to me and we ended up hanging out all night until Snoop Dogg's (he was playing Emo's right across the street) tour manager or assistant or something like that, came to Key Bar after getting some bud for Snoop and drove me back to my dorm before taking Dug back to his hotel. Dug was a super cool guy. I knew he is a big stoner and at one point he asks me, "you smoke pot?". I tell him yes and he proceeds to pull out an Altoids tin filled to the brim with THC pills. I take a few of those and later smoked a blunt with him and his band behind Danko Jones' tour bus. George Lynch, who is my favorite guitarist of all time was playing that show with his side band, Souls of We. He walked by and I told Dug that he was my favorite guitarist and Dug says, "I've always wanted to meet George and jam with him sometime, let's go introduce ourselves". So me and Dug go hang out and talk to George for a while, George and Dug exchange numbers and that was the start of their new side project with Ray Luzier the drummer for Korn, KXM. We still keep in touch every now and then, in fact, he actually just sent me a pic on Snapchat earlier today. Hes told me he could get me backstage before, hoping he could work some magic when he comes back with the Experience Hendrix tour in SA in a few months /csb Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
