Bane 2.0 (Pt. 2/5)- Brendan "Stu" Maguire (Bane. Reach the Sky)

My guest for Episode 174... Part 2 in the "Bane 2.0" series is bass player, Brendan "Stu" Maguire! Stu played and toured with "Bane" extensively and recorded the "World Series" 7" collection in 2009. We begin this episode speaking about his battle with pancreatic cancer. For what this man has gone and is going through, his positive attitude and fight is second to none. It's inspiring to say the least. We both called the first half hour or so of this conversation, "The Ailment Episode" since he tells his story, then I wasn't going to, but he wanted me to tell mine as well. Not that we're comparing, but my story doesn't even come close. We then go into his history, growing up, and his time in "Reach the Sky". I never met Stu in person and really hope that I do sooner than later. The man is an inspiration and my hat goes off to his amazingly supportive family. The final Bane set was released when a 20k goal was reached within 24 hours via GoFundMe set up by Sunny from Hate5six. Once the goal was reached, the last set streamed. But the goal has been raised to 50k to help him and his family get through this ordeal. So... if you can, please visit the link below and help. https://www.hate5six.com/stu Thanks for your time Stu. I hope you all enjoy this episode. Respect.
