Summary

Today I continue my celebration of early Bay Area, Thrash Metal with the legendary drummer Andy Galeon.

Andy has been playing drums professionally since he was 9 years old. This man instantly became a star behind the kick bashing it out in his band Death Angel.

Some of his earliest gigs were opening for Mercyful Fate, Metallica and Megadeth.

Andy sits down and talks about his long career in Thrash Metal and the ups and downs of the music biz.

Hope you guys enjoy this episode. Make sure you tweet and share on all your social media platforms.

0:00.0	All right, hell are you everybody. Welcome to another episode. I'll have to be talked today is Monday
0:06.1	January 27th. Welcome to the show. It is a continuation of my celebration of thrash metal,
0:14.7	early thrash metal particularly from the San Francisco Bay Area. And today my guest is none other
0:23.3	than former death angel superstar drummer Andy Galeon. This guy has been playing professionally since
0:32.5	he was around nine years old. And and that is just mind boggling in itself to hear this man's story is
0:44.0	is pretty damn cool. He has been a long time friend of mine. And we finally we reconnected at a
0:54.0	comedy show I did in Marin in November. And then we sat down and did this podcast while I was in
1:02.1	San Francisco. Just a heads up. This one was recorded before Rob. They were put out in a different

2:08.0	about the horrific horrific tragedy that happened yesterday with the nine people that went down in
2:19.1	the helicopter. Kobe Bryant and his daughter and their friends. This is just was I couldn't even tell
2:29.6	you what it what it felt like yesterday when I heard the news. I have been a Kobe Lakers fan for
2:39.2	years even being from the Bay Area. I got into the to the Lakers when Magic Johnson joined his
2:48.9	rookie year and became a Laker fan the whole time from then on out and watched all kinds of
2:58.2	exciting basketball back when I was heavily into sports watching basketball football baseball
3:05.1	not so much anymore but over the years I got to see Kobe play a lot. I had a Kobe Bryant jersey.
