I saw Fugazi two nights in a row
It was like 6 bucks at the door
They didn't play the Waiting Room either night
Ian said, "Stop jumping around like a bunch of idiots and ask the person next to you to dance"
Someone took off their boot and threw it at his head
You're so lucky, I never got to see them, but I did see Butthole Surfers that summer and THAT was a show. I realized after I saw this video, years ago, that I could have actually attended this show because I was visiting my aunt in Delaware at this exact time. Ugh.
If Lemmy is God
Gabby is a Saint
I never saw the Butthole Surfers themselves but did catch Gabby and Ministry doing Jesus Built My Hotrod at Lollapallooza. Seriously. It was seizure inducing
I worked behind the scenes at the Ministry show in Chicago 1996 - it was the loudest show I've ever seen, Lay Lady Lay as it should always be heard - just deafening. Sensational. Al Jourgensen had the tiniest, shiniest black Miata parked in the alley - it actually looked like a MatchBox car. An hour before the show he locked himself inside his dressing room with two groupies and an eight ball and two heavies guarding the door. I have a friend whose point of pride is that Al owes him $100 in drug money. Good times!
