Looking back through the sands of time with Dune*TX
"And I went outside and threw up for a while," interrupts Herrmann.
"So I came back, and they're nowhere to be found," Sacco continues. "I asked the club guy where they were, and he said they left like two hours ago. We were supposed to play at ten. Then Thomas shows up and I asked him what's the deal. He said Tim wasn't feeling too good. He'd been throwing up for the past three or four hours. I was like, 'Go get him.' "

"Yeah, 'Doesn't matter,' " says Herrmann. " 'I don't care if he's dying.' "
"Yeah, that's rock and roll," states Sacco. "I didn't know how serious it was. We were in Lake Charles -- that's party town."
"Oh, yeah," Herrmann replies dryly. "Party town."
Sacco continues. "So I see him and he's all clammy and everything, and I ask him if he can do the show. And of course he's an Iron Maiden trooper, so he does the show. We had a garbage can by the drum set for him to puke in and a bucket of water for him to drink."
"And the punch line is I had to drive home," Herrmann remembers. Sacco had made the gig in a different car, and the bass player had enjoyed some of the liquid aspects of the Cajun feast a tad excessively.
"I couldn't keep my eyes open for more than a half-second at a time," Herrmann recalls. "It was like a strobe light all the way home."
"But we made it back," says Sacco. "And that was the Cajun feast."
Such lore can make or break bands, and though the bass player from those days is no longer around, the band lives on with a rare optimism. The band figures that since pop is in the doldrums, the future could belong to anybody -- hell, even them. "Honestly, I think it's a pretty exciting time to be in music again. Because there isn't a lot of exciting stuff going on," says Sacco.
