THE KILLING FLOOR SWEET STREET MUSIC... FOR YOUR SOUL.

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 

Current mood:  grateful
Yeah that line was meant for Jack and almost every time we played "Mary Jayne" live or rehearsal, I would look at him and smile. Jack paved the road for The Killing Floor for what it is today. I'll say it one more time. If it wasn't for Jack Trevino, there would be no Killing Floor period.

Jack was a true road warrior and would give you his all regardless, packed house or not. He never bitch about money or other bands sharing the bill with us. It was about the music done our way and capturing the audience even if it was one or two new fans a night... We made sure you would never forget us. Even our bad night were memorable...lol and I'm not kidding...
   
We loved to rehearse during our down time and we clashed, cried and experience being in the improvise zone, the magic honey, as we used to call it (very few times with Mary Jayne). Jack was relentless and he beat, played, squeezed tones out of his cymbals anything to grab your attention. At one time, he was thinking of setting his drums on fire and looking into his eyes, he wasn't joking...

So how do you box that power... You can't and he fell madly in love and God blessed him before his calling home. Every one has a story and Jack lived his life to the fullest and with no regrets... Jack's story is a love story the showed his devotion to his family first, his bands and his passion second. Family was glue to the village, as he would called it. 

Ben of Electric Ocean, on his respects to Jack and very beautifully written, painted an image of Jack and thunder. Every time you hear thunder, its Jack sitting on his kit hammering away with or for the Gods... Think of Jack when you hear thunder. Oh yeah, he would always rain dance for us too...lol 

You are one of kind my brother and we love you and cherish everything you brought to the table and you left a legacy behind.

Long Live Voodoo Mojo Man... "Jack Trevino"

Wow I was doing really good today, till I just read that, it touched my heart, and it is true Jack use to say if I can make one person smile at each performance then that means he did his job, and that is true he said would'nt  it be cool if I set my kit on fire and Im thinking oh shit, Im going to have to buy a new kit, And it is so true he feel madly in love, god gave me and jack a special kind of love
Rain Dance


 and Im going to miss his love, I would do anything to have one more moment with him, We lost the most amazing man and the best dam drummer, and he gave me the best 16 month of love, I will never find a man like that again, He will always be my ROCKSTAR !!!   I LOVE YOU JACK

I just cant say thank you enogh for being with Jack the last week I dont know if Jll and I would have gotten any sleep, And I know how hard it was for you to see Jack in the state he was in and watch him gasp for air, but I will never forget when you brought that cd over and the little Cd player was not loud enough, and i had no clue how to hook up the big stero cuz we could not find that piece and Jack kept  trying to jump out of bed and I kept telling him baby you have no clothes on and he looked at me with that shitty ass smile this is Callos here, We finally got it working he grab his sticks and just jammed, you know Im going to get the pictures remember I took them, and he had those big lips and he just smile he still looked like a ROCKSTAR , And I did not care I kissed him all the time, those are the moments we are going to remember,

And Jill keeps talking about Jango, when Jango went in there, and we had the soundscape music because it was peaceful and we had company and Jango walked in there and said, What the Fuck kind of music is this shit, and he turned it to the Rock station and blasted it, and say now this is Jack it is time to jam, Jill tells that story all the time,

Even when he was so sick he was havng fun, and hey I got pretty good with figuring out what he was writing on the board, and I remember we made up codes so I knew what he always needed, I remember I was not  moving fast enogh and he shot me the fnger and I looked at him and then he laugh and place his hand on my heart and his hear that was are way we said I LOVE YOU
Love you Jack
