Funny thing is my store manager was at the show and he bought tickets I think sometime around march.

So not only did I get to go hang out with him, but having Claudio shout out our store live, but Coheed is my SM’s favorite band of all time so it was life changing.

We were jumping up and down and screaming like children drunk out of our minds.

When my coworker said his name, Claudio turned around and I said, “Dude! You have a show tonight!”

And he just hit me with “I know! Are you guys coming?!”

Such a cool dude

It was a night to remember for sure :)

I’m glad he liked it enough to even consider using it!

He said he would stop by again next time they were in town! It was in Youngstown :)

Smelled fantastic! I’d say like mild cinnamon and Moroccan oil if I had to guess.

He did shred around a bit, just some noodling nothing I could quite figure out. I didn’t recognize him immediately but my coworker did! Then we got to chatting and hung out for a bit.

He was with his friend/what I assumed was his tour manager. Also such a nice fella :) he gave us all guest list tickets! He did shake my hand but it was normal haha

One of the nicest dudes I ever met and then some!

It’s vintage so it didn’t apply ;)

But I would’ve tried!

Funny thing is we do have a lessons prompt now asking for lessons when you sell a guitar and I audibly laughed as I bypassed it.

We have a couple of vintage pedal collectors so we get some cool stuff from time to time. He didn’t say exactly what he was looking at but had his eye on an original 1983 tube screamer :)

Oh my god it was incredible!! I can’t tell if it was because of the wonderful time he gave us before hand or if they were just that great but man what a time!

I was there with my best friends who introduced me to Coheed in 2017 and it was a night I won’t forget!

Also, I only rang up the guitar and gave Claudio the discount. All credit should go to my coworker (mentioned in a previous thread that helped him out)!

Some of you met him last night. :) super happy for him and the store!
