So audition for Aussie before Randy joined the band back in the late 70s or early 80s and you also audition after Randy's passing. And can you tell a little bit about his audition for Aussie and did you ever play any live shows with him or did you just go on the road with him? Thank you. Everything you said was accurate. Okay. And as far as the shows, no, I never played a show. I played sound checks. Well, okay. So to see kind of what I would do, I would travel with the band to kind of see how everything worked and they would get to know me and that kind of thing. But I never went on stage during a show. But I would be in the wings of sound check and then Brad Gilis, who was a guitar player, at the time would come over and hand me his guitar and I'd play a song or two. And then we went into rehearsals. I rehearsed with him. I brought him a bass player down Costa. Yeah. It was Aussie's bass player for a little while. Yeah. And we rehearsed in Texas for a while. The touring was in Scotland and England and Ireland. And then we moved everything over to Los Angeles and that's where I was told that they wouldn't be needing my services in the 11th hour. After I'd been working with them for, you know, a couple of months. Yeah. But oh well. According to what Jake said, you were fired on the spot in front of Jake. Is that story true? Yes. Yes, completely true. Yeah. I was very devastated. My wife was with me. I had quit my job. We had two little kids. We had an apartment. We didn't really have much money. And so it was a great opportunity for me. And I was a delivery driver for a liquor company. Yeah. And I would kind of deliver booze into the not so good areas. Nobody else wanted to drive into those areas. So I took that job. And it was a good union job. And so I made enough money to support us. And I had to quit that job to go do the Aussie thing. Yeah. And when they fired me like that. And it didn't pay me and it didn't give me any compensation. It didn't ask me if I was okay or anything. They just didn't care. They just said it was literally like it took like a minute. Aussie just said, you know, hey, you know, it's not going to be working out. Thanks a lot for your time and see you later. Bye. I might, yeah, my job drop. I couldn't believe it. My just heart dropped. And yeah, I think I cried on the way home. That's my, it was very depth. Yeah. But those were some really dark times. I mean, for Aussie at least. And we know what the stuff he did and everything. So what was it like during those couple of months there or spending time with Aussie and Sharon? Was there anything weird that happened? Well, I remember he was bald at the time, but he kept coming to my room and asking me why I cut my hair. Because I had short hair for my job. Yeah. I told him I, you know, but he was bald. So I, well, maybe I could shave. Maybe I could just go bald like you. And then we could do be a couple of cue balls up there or I could wear a wig until my hair grows out. And he had a problem with that. So I, that was one of the reasons I think I didn't get it. It was my image. Jake, he had a great image hair down his ass. Showed up all leathered, you know, yeah. He looked great. He admittedly didn't play that great, but he looked fantastic. And I think Sharon was really calling the shots. And Sharon wanted somebody that looked right. And she felt that Jake, he was the look they were going for. And I don't think she cared too much about the play. So, so, but not that Jake, he wasn't. Not that Jake, he wasn't capable. Jake, he's great. Obviously, he just didn't have a, he didn't have a great audition. But, you know, he, you know, he put fantastic, you know. Thanks for watching.
