#fbf this guitar pick brings back so many memories! the tour that brought me back to the U.S.A. back in 2001! I was Simon Kirke's drum tech and also looked after my Dad's bass rig too. The line-up was Billy Squire, Bad Company and Styx! It was such an epic experience that turned me from a boy from England into a man touring America! ❤💪 the crew from both other bands taught me so much and I got along great with Billy and his band and also got on so well with Styx, I ended up working for them! Dreams came true everyday for me on this tour and I'll never forget it! Simon was so amazing to work with and tour with. He, my dad and I would go and shoot rounds of golf. I remember changing Simon's drum heads during my first week while they were rehearsing and he didn't even notice! He thought he had put them on himself cause they were so perfectly done for his liking and taste! Awesome memories!! I still have the harmonicas that I would give to Paul on stage every night. ❤ #simonkirke #guitarpick #badcompany #paulrogers #rickwills #davebucketcolwell #styx #billysquire #nirz #steveconte #tommyshaw #jamesyoung #lawrencegowan #toddsucherman #chuckpanozzo #worldtour #roadie #tech #flashbackfriday

#tbt to 2004 when I was touring with Styx as their assistant tour manager. I also started taking pictures for them, which I really enjoyed doing! These are three of the pics out of five that they used for the inlay artwork for their 2005 album release "Big Bang Theory"...I also shot the footage for their video of The Beatles cover of "I Am The Walrus" which was also in this album...these guys are the best of the best at what they do and as human beings too! @styxtheband #tommyshaw #lawrencegowan #rickyphillips #photography #danielwills #tourlife #Styx #bigbandtheory #pictures #grateful #happy #throwback
