TM - What is your favourite memory of watching a different band perform live?
CF - One of my favourite bands of all time is Alice in Chains and in 2011 my buddy was tour managing them at Soundwave. They had a closed stage, so even if you were a musician you couldn't walk side stage. My buddy hooked me up with tickets, so I got to watch Alice in Chains Up Close and Personal with my whole band.
