Pat Thrall Lead Guitar, Vocals |
When Meat hired me in 1988 I spent almost a full week, 10 hours a day, slaving over Meat's albums and live tapes to learn what are very complex songs and arrangements so that when we started rehearsals for the tour I would be as prepared as possible. The first day of rehearsal I was a bit nervous because I didn't want to screw up too much, but hey, it was the first of three days of rehearsals so what do you expect? Meat comes in and says "Let's do 'Bat Out Of Hell'." We did it and it went pretty well. After it was over Meat said, "That's great! You'll be fine Pat" ...and the rest of the day he had us work on an old Buddy Holly song the band had never played before. That's the great thing about Meat...you never know what to expect from him and that's what keeps the gig fun and fresh. There's never a dull moment! Thanks for the thrills, Meat.
