I remember way back in 88 or 89 I stopped at a video store called ye old video shop in Vallejo ca I jumped out the car and bumped in to Kirk hammit I had a metal up your ass shirt on I was a bay area head banging rocker metal music was all I cared about. Metallica was my life style. And I was so damn star struck. I didn't say anything to him I walked in a got a movie. I kick myself in the ass every day.

In an August 2019 interview with , Crane said that he was once offered to be the vocalist for Judas Priest while the band was in search for a new vocalist after Rob Halford's departure in 1992. He said that guitarist Glenn Tipton offered him and drummer Shannon Larkin the gig if they wanted it during the recording sessions of Tipton's solo album . Crane explained that he couldn't accept the offer, "because you can't be Rob Halford. You can't be David Lee Roth. It'd be cool, and considering my love for Priest, which is immense, that would have been cool to do it, but not really. It's not a good move.

i remember that time. whit was on voodoo brother on tipton's album. i saw Priest with Tim Ripper Owens at wolverhampton.
"because you can't be Rob Halford".... true. But Tim gave it a damn good go. that show mas as metal as anything Pantera did at the time.
same for Bruce. i saw Maiden in wolverhampton with HIS replacement. it was horrible tho.
