Real Life Jobs?

So what do the guys do in real life? You figure they cut an album once in awhile, and tour occasionally, but what do they do the rest of the time? It looks like Mr. Jerry is a full-time musician and Greg does something with rocket fuel, or something. Can anyone fill me in?

Dunno...I think that's generally information they choose not to share. I've never really questioned the motivation behind the choice.

I think they have shared it somewhat every once in a while.... Terry's full time job is music of one form or another. Greg works with JPL NASA, which is commonly known. He was sending commands to the Mars probe while they were recording 'Dig Here.' Tim, last I heard, works with a company that makes company/goverment servers secure. Ed does graphic design stuff. Jerry does music and I believe works in a warehouse as well. Rob I think makes his living with music, doing scores for TV shows and stuff.

Why don't we all tell what we are currently doing for a living... might be interesting....

Art and technology teacher (High School) for 30+ years. Occasional forays into signwriting, graphic art, book illustration and music. None of them paid enough....

I hear that, most of my forays have been more of an expense.

I'm guessing you shouldn't call him at work to talk about the new album.

I saw your name on a video from a guy doing interviews with you, I guess, about metal music from a few years ago...this was just last week I saw the video though, in a church library where I was doing some training....care to comment! I forget the guy's name, but he used to play the big rooms too...
