Name Drop

Tell us what famous musicians or bands you went to school with.

I was a freshman in high school (Jackson, NJ) when Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society) was a senior and known as Jeff Wielandt. He was voted Most Talented and Class Musician. I didn't actually KNOW him, but my friend Tony took guitar lessons from him.

I went to school with Brian Adams and Matt LeBlanc.

i went to college with dawson creek's sister
my friend knew ashanti in high school

I went to school with Kim Smith and a shitload of football players.

Anyways, back to Kim Smith...She played a very minor roll in Van Wylder, she was the roommate that answered for Van's love interest when he called. Most however, would remember her as the girl that chased those douche bags NSYNC in Bye Bye Bye...She's not that hot in person, and really fucking skinny...

My older brother graduated from Pampa High School in Pampa, TX with Zach Thomas.

Nothing rock in my area that's big...Yet.

i went to school with members of a british indie band called

EMBRACE
who released such classics as All You Good Good People, Save Me etc

I went to school and hung around with Mike Marsden, Mike O'Leary and Mark Lind from Ducky Boys and Mark's older brother White Trash Rob from Blood for Blood. I actually went with Mike Marsden to buy his first guitar when he was in 6th grade. Neither Band is all that incredibly famous, but they're pretty big on the indy punk/hardcore scenes.

edited to fix some spelling and grammar errors

Was friends in college with Ryan from the pop band Yellowcard.
Went to high school with the guitar player from some band called Puddle of Mud.

A member of Sonic Youth, although I'm not gonna out myself by saying which one.

The only one to go national (somewhat) is J, the bassist for Lamont.

Kobe Bryant raped my ass in his hotel room.

Since some people are mentioning non-musical celebrities...

Robert Iler (aka Anthony Jr from The Sopranos) sat in the desk right behind mine for 9th grade English. He pulled my hair every fucking day. (Bastard.)

Please tell me this was still in the days when he was a combination rock star and flasher!

Monk, DUH!!! Sorry, I have watching too much USA. Tony Shallob, or however you spell his last name. It's not me who knew him and he isn't musical, but still I am getting the chance to name drop so I am going for it.

Okay, I've only seen that show a few times and, while it's great, he's not "Monk" he's TONY FUCKING SHALLOUB, one of the most underappreciated actors out there today.
