About 2Fast2Die: ‘Metal Dave’ Glessner

As a music journalist, lifelong rocker and semi-recovered night prowler, I’ve been told I should write a book to share my stories, adventures, mishaps and dirt. First, I need a good night’s sleep! Meanwhile, I give you 2Fast2Die. Combining the titles of albums by Motley Crue and the Ramones, I figure 2Fast2Die is fairly representative of my taste in music and overall lifestyle leading up to this point. Visit often for my archived interviews, unearthed photos, random blatherings, plus updates from Austin, Texas (ATX) and yada, yada from the rock world at large.
2Fast2Die is also on facebook. Look and “like” here.
Special thanks to Jay West for his brilliant photog skills, including the 2Fast2Die banner shot. Thanks also to Chris Gates of Kingink Studios for his graphics design skills and to Becky Ozuna for her patience, Web savvy and technical skills.

Dave, This is AWESOME! So glad you decided to do this. Can’t wait to see it all unfold!
Not one uncool bone in this man’s body!!!Best Blog I’ve read yet…and honored to know the man………….
I’m impressed that after all these years you’ve always stuck to what you love! You’re a great writer….keep up the good work my friend.
Dave! I still remember rocking out in front of Stahl elementary school, stealing there power for our amps and playing Fastway’s say what you will! That was the night when the cops came and some one ripped the door off of my sister’s car! Rock on Dave, Keep the faith!
I remember it well, Bill. Disturbing the peace, smoking cigs and rocking the homemade Les Paul and my Hondo starbody! Why aren’t we famous???
Is this the Metal Dave review page? OK.
I have RSS’ed this shit since I saw it. This is a blog I’ve wanted in my reader for a long time. I love the way this guy puts pen to paper. He’s a craftsman and a damn good one. Plus, this guy knows his stuff…
On a personal note, I am a huge DG fan. This is the guy I immediately want to share anything new I’ve written. This is is the guy I wanna tear up the night with but he’s also the guy I think of when I wanna go have Sunday afternoon beers somewhere off the beaten path of Rock N’ Roll destruction.
One classy dude.
