BRUCE DICKINSON, JOHN PETRUCCI Send "Well Wishes" To Producer Kevin Shirley On His Wedding Day
December 7, 2006, 17 years ago
On this, his wedding day (December 7th) legendary producer Kevin Shirley (IRON MAIDEN, LED ZEPPELIN, RUSH) has posted the following message in his Caveman Diary, from Malibu, CA:
"Woke very early to a slew of best wishes - my parents and I have a morning flight to Indy for the nuptials. My best Aussie keyboard playing bud, Rock, got in first, and started me giggling, 'I wish I could be there.... well, sort of! It is Indiana.......'. He drove across the US with me last year, from New York City to L.A., and we stopped in Seymour, IN for three days - and that's way too long to expose a beach bum to the Midwest! (I just got a message saying '...there's snow on the ground in Indy and it's fergin' cold!').We'll see Rock in Oz for warm, sultry New Year's Eve celebrations anyhoo.
A message aus Deutschland von BRUCE DICKINSON said 'good luck... happy nuptials... once more into the breech dear friends...... we shall raise glasses to both of you in Stuttgart - congratulations.' He was racing go-karts with Kimi Räikkönen in Helsinki last week, and I have the photos! He never ceases to amaze me.
'Arry chimed in, 'Sorry to see a good man go down! Haha!' He has to have the last word!
JOHN PETRUCCI just returned from G3 in Oz, and his wife sent us a gorgeous magnum of crimson wonder and their best wishes.
Ross Halfin said 'Remember, you can always not get on the plane.' He's coming to party with us in Malibu next week.
Got the new METALLICA Videos DVD last night - hope you enjoy the 5.1 mixes (I haven't been able to check it, but I hope they got the encoding right! If they did, it'll be a first!).
I see Lars is expecting..... gotta tell Ross. Perhaps I'll send him a Metallica DVD for Xmas - or more appropriately, Hanukkah, which he's really big on!
DIVINYLS' Charley Drayton and Chrissy Amphlett sent their best - Oh gosh, I'm such a starf*cker!
Gotta boogie, outta here in a half hour and I'm unwashed and not packed a sock yet!
True story!
Byeeeeeeee."
