The Rose Garden is so the total opposite of what you stand for now, but venues like it are where most kids first see live music. How did you progress from seeing Metallica here for your first show to where you are now?
Were you up in the stands or on the floor?
So they were their own opening act?
You saw the Spice Girls? When?
What is it that appeals to you about the Spice Girls?
Spice World
Please Hammer, Don't Hurt ‘Em
Did you ever get that record?
What was the most embarrassing thing about your obsession?
Were they any good?
Was it the music itself that appealed to you? Were NOFX and Black Flag more interesting to you musically than Guns N' Roses?
Does it have to do with the whole Rose Garden vs. smaller places things?
But you weren't able to assess if they walked the walk?
What was your first band?
Is that where you developed your confrontational performance style?
How old were you then?
So that was the beginning of your friendship with Doug?
What was your concept of DIY at that time?
Why is that?
And the Roseland—
Like commercials at the Rose Garden.
When did you become diehard, and someone who hates Guns N' Roses.
I'm just trying to wrap my head around the fact that I know you go to big shows like Green Day…
You're starting to feel like you should go see the who?
So you're getting more anti-establishment all the time?
