Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? - Bryan Adams

To really love a woman
To understand her - you gotta know it deep inside
Hear every thought - see every dream
N' give her wings - when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her
that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
she needs somebody to tell her
that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?

To really love a woman
Let her hold you -
til ya know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her - really taste her
Til you can feel her in your blood
N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
she needs somebody to tell her
that you'll always be together
So tell me have you ever really -
really really ever loved a woman?

You got to give her some faith - hold her tight
A little tenderness - gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin' good care of you
Ya really gotta love your woman...

Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman
When you love a woman you tell her
that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
she needs somebody to tell her
that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?

Just tell me have you ever really,
really, really, ever loved a woman? You got to tell me
Just tell me have you ever really,
really, really, ever loved a woman?

Message of love to my friend... Jack Trevino

We love and will dearly miss you my brother.
(RIP Jack Trevino 02-17-1960 - 11-04-2009)
What a gift it was to hold your hand and tell you, thank you and how much I love you towards the end. Your last smile as your eyes directed towards me, touched my soul profoundly in ways beyond words or images.

You lived your life with the message of love in your heart, devotion in your mind and your soul was as gentle as the smoke flowing through air from your burning incense. To love and to be loved was the muse to your karma.

As you placed your drum sticks down for the last time. The resonating hammering of your drum kit along with your heart, will now be forever miss by your family, friends and fans. I will hurt for your everything my brother.

We know as you hammer away on your drums for the Gods in the skies, your thunder will always be received with a smile... A Jack Trevino smile.

Long live Jack Trevino, The Voodoo Mojo Man!!


~Juan Carlos

Deliver it to me baby... Voodoo Mojo Man!!!


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"
~Juan Carlos & The Killing Floor

Here's an update on The Killing Floor



David Garza will be going back to school, so for that reason he has to retire from the band. His studies will demand much of his time and so, we wish David the best of luck and our blessing on whatever he does. We can't thank him enough for one of our busiest year The Killing Floor has ever experience.

Jango IS BACK!!! James "Jango" Sanchez will be taking over the bass duties with plenty of enthusiasm and fire and while still in school. He graduates on Dec. 17th, Jango will finish off the year with us and back to the studio we go in January...

Darren is back also on the keys... Friday was a very productive night for us and the first time in months since we've jammed with Darren. We wrote five new tunes after rehearsal... So yes he was greatly missed, and we are glad that he's back...

So here's the current line up for The Killing Floor

1. ~Juan Carlos Vocals and Guitar
2. Jango on Bass
3. Matt Wright on Drums
4. Darren Stansberry on Keyboards and pianos...
5. Roland Savverda on Drums and percussion
