Unfortunately i also never met Andy
personally, but i clearly recall his appearance at the show they performed in
Utrecht/Netherlands in 1995 (happy happy joy joy). In those days Andy had long
hair (also lx actually, well not on top though..) and i remember his
'head-bang' style while mixing behing a *huge* mixing console. Very cool dude.
