>wrong with these losers???

you know, i never have figured out that thing people have about throwing
things at, hitting, kicking, etc...their favorite performer or a performer
that they paid 20 bucks to see. rollins always talks about it. i guess
they want to have something to tell all their friends about.
i wish i could have a baseball bat and a few minutes alone with the guy
that threw the can at trent and those fuckers that broke jello bifra's leg.
hell, i can always dream can't i?

i think a four song encore was about all they were doing on this tour
anyways...but the beercan thing is still fucked...a good shot to hit him on
the guitar hand though, eh?

Best response i've ever seen to that kind of thing...

Went to see Guns 'N' Roses at the local civic center. The opening band was
Blind Melon - and BOY they sucked. See them at Woodstock? They were even
worse here! As a result of Shannon Hoon's barefoot-hippyboy-stoner
mumblings, the crowd was ready to kill. As a result of the nearly two-hour
wait that FOLLOWED Blind Melon whilst waiting for GNR, the crowd was ready
to kill slowly and painfully. Well, GNR finally hit the stage, get five
seconds into Mr. Brownstone, and some moron lobs a cup right past Axl. (Keep
in mind that this was about 6 days after one of the other guys in the band
got knocked out by something thrown from the crowd.) Well, Axl stops the
band and says something to the effect that he's getting paid no matter what
happens tonight, they'd be more than happy to leave, and you can all thank
that stupid fuck who threw that cup. Well, they wait a moment, tear into a
MONSTROUS version of Welcome to the Jungle, and the last thing you see is
about 50 people swimming through the crowd towards the launching point for
said cup (or beach ball or frisbee or whatever...)

Poor bastard probably went home in the pockets of twenty different people...
