Vic Hillerich

This month's featured personality is a true Louisville metal veteran. He's been out of the public eye for a few years, but now he's back again to pummel you. So to all you young'uns out there fairly new to the scene, this guy was rockin' the scene when you were still in your fathers scrotum.

Most Embarrassing Moment:  Vic went to work one day with a pair of red panties and a sock stuck inside his pants by electrostatic cling, which then fell out onto the floor in front of everyone he worked with.
