HEADBANGERS BALL-EP 114: "No Chocolate Milk for Hal..."

What’s goin’ on SGT Rock Army, Summer is in full swing, we’re winding out Independence Month and we’ve got some great tunes for this week’s show! Can you say…road trip mix! An odd title you say for this week’s show. Never! 😁 Do you know your favorite band’s rider. From Van Halen’s famously demanded a bowl of M&Ms with all brown ones removed, a clever test to ensure promoters read their rider to Metallica’s 24-page rider called for bacon at every meal and booze or Pantera’s, a case of Crown Royal whiskey, a bucket of fried chicken, and porn mags! A band I was in, well, we had to put, “No Chocolate Milk for Hal!!!!!”.

Hal was our drummer. How did we come to this decision to put it on our rider? Easy, 4.5-hour drive to the first gig on our scheduled tour, my rig smelled like a Galgothan aka a shit demon and two pit stops on the side of the backroads later, we asked Hal if we should skip the gig and take him to the ER. We honestly thought there was something wrong with him. Whelp. At the ripe age of 30 something, Hal, to our discovery after asking, told us he had his gallbladder removed when he was in his 20s and before we linked up at the practice spot to load the trailer; he had a big ole dinner and washed it down with…yep…chocolate milk.

If you know you know if you’ve had your gallbladder removed! And there were times when Hal, due to his hunger for various dairy products, I can honestly say, that’s how memories from the road are made. Laughter is shared and Brotherhood exists. We may not be sharing the stage anymore, but we still laugh about those days. Every town, city, face, fan, and did the places we book follow our rider. Yes. Did Hal give a fuck? No! This show’s for you brother! – The Veterans of Hill 30

Remember this SGT Rock Army, Headbangers, Rock and Rollers, Servicemembers and Veterans. “Music and Partying was the mortar that kept us all together and no one can take that from us. And now...we want to share this with you, The SGT Rock Army...enjoy the show. To our Fallen, we’ll see you on the other side, Brothers and Sisters. Til Valhall! Til Valhall! Til Valhall!”
