Screen Name?
Jamiew - not very creative I know.
And what is your real name?
Jamie (big surprise there)
Where are you from?
I'm a New Mexico girl. I grew up in a small community near Farmington and now live in Rio Rancho. When we were kids we would get out of school and drive to the big city (Albuquerque) for concerts. For some odd reason, now I seem to find myself driving to Farmington for concerts. As much as I love seeing any show I can that is just so backwards.
Please tell us a little about yourself (Job, hobbies, etc.):
I work at Target in the Human Resources Department. I get to do the payroll, schedule, hiring and terminations. It is so much better than on the sales floor where I started.
My hobbies are pretty simple. I love to hang out with my family, go to concerts, listen to music and read. I go to as many shows as possible during the year. I always crack up when people see my kids with me and say how cool - their first concert. Since we don't get babysitters they go with us and have been to ALOT of shows. Of course, they are now like their mom and prefer front row.
How/when and why did you get into L.A. Guns?
My husband (boyfriend at the time) introduced me to L.A. Guns back when the first album came out. We drove to Albuquerque to see Iron Maiden and Guns n Roses and GnR was replaced by L.A. Guns. They had some sound system problems at that show but it was great anyway. I've loved them since the beginning.
What is your favourite song/album?
This is a really hard question to answer. My favorite songs are "The Ballad" and "Skin". I'm a sucker for those ballads. My favorite album is, um, let's see, I tend to pull out Vicious Circle alot.
Now share your favourite L.A. Guns story/memory, please:
My husband is a graphic designer so for special occasions he will make me posters for bands that I like. A couple of years ago I got an L.A. Guns poster for Valentines Day. On my birthday, the band was playing in Farmington (one of those backward trips). Of course my concert buddy and I went. We showed up early and got to watch sound check and meet everyone in the band. They were all so nice. When we pulled out the poster my husband made the band loved it. It was so cool seeing them like his work. We ended up sending posters to everyone after the show. Phil talked some about having them made up and sold at shows but it fell thru. Who know's maybe someday. I'm hoping for a new poster this Valentines Day....
What other bands do you like?
I'm an 80's girl. My other favorites are Telsa, Journey, Jackyl and Great White. I love most of the 80's metal stuff.
What is /are your favourite book(s)?
I have favorite authors more than favorite books. I like the sappy romance novels (I think it kind of goes with being a sucker for the ballads). I read anything by Julie Garwood and LaVyrle Spencer. I also read a lot of Steven King, John Saul and Ann Rice.
And which is/are your favourite movie(s)?
I don't watch many movies. I would rather save my money for concert tickets. If I had to choose it would be the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Pirates - Yeah!!!!!
Any famous last words?
Not much to say here but thank you for all the great music over the years and keep it coming. |
