bathory Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 true. I know the melvins opened for gwar 20 something years ago, and from what I've read, they weren't very well-received Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enemy Within 77 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 They even opened for Rush in the early 90's! Buzz said most Rush fans hated them, but I would've done anything to see that show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His solo stuff is actually really good, sounds nothing like Winger the band.. Almost Sting like.. The guy is talented .. Too bad he wanted to cash in on the hair metal scene and he pretty much destroyed his rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGr8imL84AD8inF8sBlackSedan Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Someone mentioned they should have come back on stage after the crowd beat the crap out of the bottle thrower and I think that's the right move. Someone also mentioned they should be used to crap like that after 30 years of touring, I agree with that too. To kill the night for everyone at the show isn't cool. I understand the guy could have been hurt and all that but they should have continued after the situation settled down. Anyone remember the story of a RUSH show in Pheonix (I think) in '84 or so when Geddy had his eye split open by something thrown on stage? I'm pretty sure the story is that they finished the show and then Geddy went to the hospital. Gotta love RUSH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
