| ADRIAN and THOR. |
 |
| Mike's other intro: Adrian is the coolest guy I have ever met. He is the only known person to have ever succeeded in combing out dreadlocks. Anyways, as far as I know, Adrian's ambitions consist of attaining a rocket sled, changing bass guitars twice a song and driving Jay into uttermost insanity. Oh wait, that would be Mike's goal. |
| Mike' Intro: For those of you who don't know, THOR is Adrian's bass amp. Adrian is a left handed bass player. He has the only (Yamaha) left handed 5 string bass in Canada. Another fact about Adrian is that my mom likes him. |
