Another thing to mention is that Kiefer Sutherland was thier tour manager for some time, 10 days to be precise then he was fired.
Sutherland explains, "I toured with the band last year. I was their road manager. I had to get them up on time. . . . In all fairness I only did it for 10 days, but it was the scariest thing I've ever done in my life. . . . I was fired. I was never happier to come back to 24 — I felt safe there. Musicians are nuts."
Dobro Dobro is a trade name now owned by Gibson Guitar Corporation and used for a particular design of resonator guitar.
