I know that this is going to sound like a bunch of wannabe blathering but its true so deal with it. As many of you know, I'm a commercial investment broker that works/lives in Marin Co., CA. Johnny Colla (guitarist/songwriter for Fruity Newgat and the Chews) WAS a client of mine until just recently. This guy is a fuckin' cold-hearted prick. I've run across a bunch of musicians/famous people in my business and I'll critique them below, but J.C. and his wife Shannon take the top honors for conceit, poor acumen, and shitty attitudes. The guy acts like he is a fuckin' Beatle even though his bread and butter is playing gigs for Silicone Valley Corporate Retreats. The way I've seen this guy treat one of his business partners, the way he speaks to people that work for him, and the way his wife acts like she's Yoko Colla is nothing short of contemptible. Now the promised critique: 1 James Hetfield: Regular Joe. As far as I know he still drives his old black Chevy Blazer around. 2 Lars Ulrich: Stuck up Tibouron Asshole. 3 Jerry Garcia: RIP and all, but underneath all of that flower power he was a shrewd business man. 4 Mickey Hart: Still stoned after all these years. 5 Dave Mustaine: Shy but very friendly. 6 Marty Friedman: Nicest guy in the world. Speaks Japanese like a bad-dog too. 7 Carlos Santana: Prick to people that work for him. 8 Grace Slick: Alcoholic. I wish the cops did more than just bust her when she pulled a shot gun on them. Blames Marin Co for all of her life's ills. 9 Sammy Haggar: Mountain biking hippie throw-back. Should have been a bike messenger 10 Steve Perry: Despite bad reputation he's actually a really nice guy. Crappy taste in women. 11 George Lucas: Very quiet. Very Short. Very Smart. He has the Board of Supervisors wrapped around his little finger. Drives his kids to school every day and then goes and sips his coffee at the same little cafe. 12 Hughie Lewis: Considerably nicer than his dick-headed guitarist. 13 John Lassiter (Producer of Toy Story): Mows his own lawn so how bad can he be? 14 Greg Rollie: Needs to ask for help pushing his Harley on to a truck.
