Five quick questions with John Brennan

 

  • Favorite band of all-time, as a fan?

 

Guns N’ Roses.

 

  • Favorite band to follow on the road?

 

All of them! Guns N’ Roses, Van Halen, Paul McCartney – following any of them, you knew something exciting was going to happen. It was always so crazy and so cool.

 

  • Favorite person to get photos/autographs from?

 

Slash – It was chaos, total madness (with Guns N’ Roses); they were all partying up a storm. I had that fever – the adrenaline rush of never knowing what was going to happen. My favorite photo with Slash would have to be the one in Chicago in 1989 at like 6 in the morning in the back of a van. Total stoned look on his face; I can always imagine it.

 

  • Favorite photo of yourself with a celeb?

 

Man, that’s hard. Do I say a certain person because it’s rare? The one with Ronald Reagan? The one where Bob Dylan has his arm around me? Prince, Madonna, Michael Jackson?

 

  • Favorite place to hang out to meet celebs?

 

Easy. Parker Meridien, New York City, 1984. The best place to be to meet celebrities in 1984.
