“Beyond being a great person and musician, Pete is also a passionate rock fan. Something I can always relate to being one myself. I always look forward to swapping stories about our favorite groups whenever I get the chance to see him”

Evick is mediocre coverband guitarist (and fat fuck).

Trunk is an insufferable blow-hard (and also a fat fuck).

Evick really is sickening. The ultimate Bret shill, he reminds me of when Vince McMahon had Jerry Brisco and Pat Patterson as his stooges in attitude era.

Is there anyone that wants to know more about Evick? He's one of the most boring, uninspiring talents out in the music scene

I’ve read and seen some interviews with him. As a musician, I’m sure he ok. He does came off as a genuinely good person. Like a lot of people, he was probably in the right place at the right time. He will ride out this BMB thing until the wheels fall off.

No reason to bash the guy. Just a dude with kids at home doing what he can to make ends meet. Unless he's a dick. Anyone have any Pete Evick's a dick stories?

He has posted on here a few times in the past. BITD before he was fat, I posted that he looked like Gary Busey. He came on here to say that he appreciated the compliment.

Nice guy or not, I cannot blame a C or D-List hired gun for trying other ways to make a buck. That said, I cannot imagine this selling more than 25 copies.

Only one I can imagine that even might be down is Tiffany from season 1.

Who is publishing this book? Not much to it sounds like. We all know guys that wanted to be rock stars that did talent shows and battle of the bands. And we got sick of hearing them talk about it!

No disrespect to the guy but no one even cares about Billy Joel's guitar player. Does he even play on Bret's solo records?

Not gonna lie. The second he bails, I'm auditioning! 45 minute sets playing Poison songs and touring around the country? Sign me up.

I hope it’s a print on demand book…

However, there IS an opportunity for a fun, quick read if he were to be a good writer with a self deprecating humor, similiar to what the Semisonic drummer did w/ the below. "My life as a touring musician that no one knows, or should care to know". Stevie, there's your angle.
