What do metal bands do outside of their music career?

I read somewhere that Ted Poley of Danger Danger works at K-Mart. But don't quote me on that. Quote Fat Freddy.

I think Freddy just said that he met Poley there, rather than Poley was the clerk. Never know, though.

Smindas, I realize you're a full continent away, so the joke might take a little longer to land over there. Just wait a little bit more and you should see it coming over the horizon shortly.

...for the life of me, I can't figure it out. Oh dear.

How many work at music stores or teach music? I think Lynch does and i've heard of others but the names escape me at the moment.

A lot of them do that...a lot also run their own studios...Fred Coury (Cinderella) & Mark Zonder (ex-Fates Warning) both do that...as do Harry Hess & Creighton Doane (both from Harem Scarem)

Any Phds? Lawyers? Judges?

As if they'd have time for that.

I think Dexter from the Offspring (yes I know, not metal) received a Masters n Biology or something like that at the height of his bands popularity. I don't know if he uses his degree, but there has got to be metal artists who do have high qualifications in higher education. I think recently there was a new grind band on Relapse records who were all practicing doctors.

Isn't Brian May a brain surgeon or something?

Never heard anything about that, but I know he has a phd in astrophysics.

I believe Ron Reinhart (or another dude from Dark Angel, I no longer remember) is a pharmicist, so he's got some sort of degree.

A degree doesn't necessarily mean anything, right DC? I mean don't you have a degree in Smokology?

Good one. He's now Dr. Brian May. But to be fair, I think he had the time and money to pursue his PhD.

Yes, and now I teach the class at the learning annex.

Matt from Feast Eternal is a mail carrier. TJ, from Feast Eternal works in a nursing home

Ron Rinhart does work in a pharmacy. I SOOOOO wish that Dark Angel could pull it back together long enough to do one last tour. I never got to see those guys live.

I saw Dark Angel live.

It was probably a bad night for them though. They blew.

Remember when David Lee Roth worked briefly as an Emergeny Medical Technician?

"Diamond Dave here to drive you to the hospital. Somebody get me a doctor!!Whoooooooaaa!"

I heard Don Doty was or is a car salesman.

The singer from Bad Religion is supposedly a Professor.

I believe Mark Briody of Jag Panzer does film/video editing for television commercials.

That's right, he teaches Biology at UCLA! And Bad Religion has been a busy band throughout their 25+ years of playing.

Fenriz from Darkthrone works in the Bergen post office, I believe.
