Thursday was pretty uneventful although I had a friend from St. Louis send me links to the youtube posting from 1991 and the infamous Guns n Roses riot. I look back and think...I was there...
I will never forget this show. It was also the FIRST of many riots to come by Axl Rose and his band mates. When we were at the show we didn't realize how crazy and dangerous the scene really was. As I look back watching the video footage I think...holy sh*t. What a crazy scene. Watch it for yourself. Some of the footage is hard to see because of the black and white film but you will get the idea of how insane it was and the destruction left behind.
Axl Jumps..The Beginning
The Riot Begins
Pure Destruction
The Aftermath
I remember coming home and my family was freaking out. After watching the footage I can see why. I do remember the next day going to work and half of my co-workers were surprised that I had made it in since they saw the footage on the national news. Up to that point of the show it was awesome. This is one of the reasons why I think Axl is a great front man...not because he can start a riot but because you just never know what that dude is going to do. There might be a show..there might not...he might even just give you a speech
Axl Speech
there might be a riot...it might be a great concert..he might just freak out and rip someone a new ass like in this clip
Pissed
You just never know. The unpredictability is ridiculous. I would like to know what a home f*ck is though. I think I might have to start using that one.
On to the All Night Jam Session... Starting off as always with Mandatory Metallica..."Devil's Dance", "Until It Sleeps", and "Ronnie". Plus it was a great night of entertainment from some crazy lady who called in to scream at me for not going to Vietnam. Is it my fault I wasn't born? Not only that she also told me she breast fed Bigfoot, and was the mother, sister, and niece of Catherine Zeta Jones..Yep she was all three and spoke 6 different languages. I'm telling you this woman was nuts but the most entertaining call I think I have ever taken.
Last Call was incredible for a Friday. Van Halen's "Black N Blue", AC/DC "Soul Stripper", the perfect weekend song "Dirty Little Mind" from Jackyl. She also proved it.. Whoa.. Ended with "The Four Horsemen".
A kick ass night of rock...home f*cks...
Enjoy the weekend!
