I used to see these guys at frat parties in the early 80's when they were Loud Fast Rules. Dave was an outta-control nutcase back then! And unlike longtime fans, I love every album they ever recorded. I don't know about the rumor, but it has been said that Dave started to lose his hearing around "And the Horse They Rode In On", which is the reason for a tamer sound on GDU and why they ended up being a worldwide hit! Kinda strange.
They are just regular guys around here that still show up at all the shows.
