...and here's the part that bothers me a little.
>The group's bassist texted me last night after it happened," Bauer told CNN. "We are all still in shock."
>Took place at the "Baked Potato Jazz Club", where his band "often played".
So, what exactly happened here? I had never heard of this band (OHM) before this happened... did I miss something? Why did the bass player already have a CNN reporter's phone number saved in his phone?

Fuck you... lol So, you think every band has immediate contact with a major media outlet like CNN? I won't disclose which band I am in, but I've met Nick and have shared a s
age with Megadeth before... my band wasn't in contact with CNN and I'd be willing to wager we're more well known than OHM.

you really must be a bit dense

This kind of thing isn't totally unheard of though. I'm extremely small-time and have a few national press contacts. Sometimes they're just interested in random people and keep up with them for one reason or another.

CNN didn't contact the band members as you claim... the bass player already had Baur's number saved and he texted the story to CNN, while it was still happening.

Same here bro, but not CNN... maybe you're bigger than we are. lol Congrats!
>>65083731
then he just so happened to have his number, either because he's been in contact with him before or because, you know, he knows him
RIP Megadrive
Rip former Megadeth drummer.

Yeah... R.I.P. Nick. He was a good guy. Still love those older Megadeth albums the best.

Naw I'm just local. Just weird enough to attract human interest stories once in a blue moon.

What I'm saying is the correspondents in these big corporations can be genuinely nice people and keep in touch with you after one story. Guy could've saved a cat or something ten years ago and they gave him a number to catch up once in a while.
