blueschica Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I think that's the first time I've seen Alex talk that long without cracking a joke. It was interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It intersects with Melrose. I have a few LA METAL DVDS there is actually live footage shot of this picture in the video. It blew my mind when I saw it. I had to freeze the dvd and take a picture. It is indeed very real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
