The show was quite good. I only
got a couple of pictures of Link because during "Rumble" (which he opened with)
he said, "No
pictures!", after I took my third photo. Shortly after that one of the theatre
employees asked me to stop taking the photos too. So I
put the camera away.
Anyway, it was amazing seeing my
guitar hero in action! I had been waiting for this for over 10 years. He
played all the biggies. "Rumble", "Jack the Ripper", "Ace of
Spades", "I'm Branded", "Fire","Rawhide", "Batman". Before he went into "Run
Chicken Run" he said something about how Kurt Cobain had ripped him off on the
riff to that song. And he said, "I didn't get one red cent from him. Not even
a FUCKING quarter!" Bad ass!
When he came back out for the
encore he played, "Rumble", "Jack the Ripper", "Batman", and something else
which I can't remember. I got to shake the man's hand too.
After the show I got my
Stratocaster out of my car because I heard he was doing autographs and I was
going to see if he could sign the headstock. But when I got back into the
theatre he hadn't come out yet and it was already 1:30 in the A.M. and I had to
work at 7:15 A.M.
So I took off.
