David Williams

David Williams is what's known as a "stand-up guy." You might recognize him as the drummer from Fort Worth and Wolves, or you may have gotten some amazing ink from him at Tattoo Artistry. He's also a big Star Wars fan, so you might want to include him on your trivia team.

What was the first concert you attended?

Tool, on the Undertow tour, at the Tucson Convention Center.

What are you listening to these days?

Against Me!, Hot Water Music and Cory Branan.

What was the first album you owned?

Poison, Open Up and Say ... Ahh! on cassette.

What artist, genre or musical trend does everyone seem to love, but you just don't get?

Modern rap/hip hop.

What musical act, current or defunct, would you most like to see perform live?

Realistically? Bear vs. Shark, but the correct answer here is Queen.

Musically speaking, what is your favorite guilty pleasure?

I try not to be too cool for any music, but I do listen to the modern country station in my truck, and that's pretty terrible.

What song would you like to have played at your funeral?

"Voice of Fire" by the Doomriders, followed directly by "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" by Michael Jackson.

What band or artist changed your life, and how?

Rancid's Let's Go introduced me to all sorts of new music. In their videos, I would see a patch on their vests or a sticker on their guitars and go to Zia to buy it.

Figurative gun to your head, what is your favorite album of all time?

Deftones, White Pony. Not a bad track on the album.
