Discovered in 2000 by Sharon Osbourne only a few shows after forming, OTEP was asked on the spot to perform at Ozzfest. The band was unsigned during its first stint on the tour, but made such an impression that it was invited to play two more years. After releasing two strong albums on Capitol Records...

Chris May didn't find tattooing, it found him. Perhaps the planets were aligned or the excreted pheromones of two locusts fucking sent a deer on a rampage, 100 miles from a 19 -year-old kid looking to get a tattoo of a flaming ant. Probably not. One thing is certain, May considers himself very lucky....

Even though I've never laid eyes on Frank Darabont's famously unproduced script for Indiana Jones 4, I can't help but think it was a dunderhead move for George Lucas to chuck it at the eleventh hour in favor of a different take, to the horror of both Darabont and director Steven Spielberg.
