But loving high and drunk all the time. I saw them in Green Bay in '89 (I think). It was when they were touring for Mother's Milk and I'm pretty sure they were wasted. They came out wearing nothing but tube socks on their cocks. They did not stay on long. And I want to say a roadie came out on stage buck-naked windmilling his dick during a song. Show didn't last long because someone called the cops on them. EDIT: Yeah, it was '89 http://thechilisource.com/spin-february-1990/ Although the article claims the audience was stripping down wholesale as well, but I don't remember that. Probably one of those "grows with the telling" or some poo poo. I was more drunk than I thought. Proteus Jones has a new favorite as of 09:56 on Sep 3, 2021 |

No you were definitely naked too. I saw a pic of your drunken dick on the cover of the Rolling Stone the following week E: that's a pretty cool article actually, really sets the scene. I appreciate them at least making some comment on the racial bullshit going on, and being European I'd never really considered the sock thing to be something they would get hassled for Failed Imagineer has a new favorite as of 11:32 on Sep 3, 2021 |

The Beach Boys and the Beatles had just formed (Pete Best was still drummer for the Beatles) but hadn't released any singles yet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Year-End_Hot_100_singles_of_1961

Yeah it's weird when you think of a band as belonging to a specific era and discover they formed way way earlier. The B-52's formed in 1976 and released Rock Lobster in 1978 but they didn't really hit the big time until they released Love Shack in '89

circa 2010 I tried to get into a nightclub, that used to be owned in part by Damon Albarn, in Reykjavik with a friend by putting on the most unconvincing Cockney accent since Dick van Dyke and claiming to know Damon. The doorman helpfully informed us that Damon hadn't owned the place since the 90s and wouldn't let us in. So we went to the sleasy rock/goth bar the next street down where one of the doormen would always let us in ahead of the queue because we went to school with him (but never once talked with him during that time) and got shitfaced on overpriced absinthe. I believe our exact words were "oi we're friends of Damon innit"

"damon albarn" who? "gently caress sake. da-mon al-barn" ohhhhh danish radio hosts have used like 7 different pronunciations so i tend to go for owlbaairn Carthag Tuek has a new favorite as of 23:15 on Sep 3, 2021 |

Megillah Gorilla posted:I'll admit to liking RHCP's early stuff. He definitely wore those in the film clip for Bust a Move by Young MC From watching that video on Rage on a Saturday morning, to this day I expect when that song ends, Epic by Faith No More will start. I guess they were #2 and #1 on the charts for a while? Also, I thought Young MC was like, MC Hammer's little brother or something. White Australian kids from the suburbs didn't really get exposed to hip hop culture and words in the early 90s.
