Man of the hour, tower of power, and a musical influence on both Mike and Geoff, Walter Schreifels stops "backstage" to "break down" a few of the crummier gigs he\'s had in his illustrious career playing in such renowned bands as Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits, and Youth of Today. \\xa0From performing in front of thousands of aloof Frenchmen, to getting in with the punks at goofy apartment shows in New York in the mid 80\'s, to all of the tough choices and maneuvering of signing to a major label in his early 20\'s at the height of the post-Nirvana feeding frenzy, Walter\'s been there and done that, and he looks back with self-deprecation and grace (the man has grace). \\xa0Lots of stop/starts and changes on a dime in this week\'s WORST GIG EVER!
