Four days before my 16th birthday I paid $50 CAD, my friends all said I was crazy to spend ‘that much on a concert’. It was my only chance ever to see all four guys and it was the first time I got to see them at all, still maybe the greatest rock show I’ve ever seen. I stood on my chair the entire night just to stare at Eddie’s fingers. My mind was blown
Check this out. In 84 I won a contest at my local rock station to go onstage with Ozzy (that’s another story) Out of the Cellar was just out and I was psyched because I loved the band. I even used to sign my name ‘Patt’ back then. I’ve got some signed albums and a pick from Warren but I just found this: Robbin wrote ‘get down on your guitar’ (I told him I played) and Juan wrote ‘be cool’. They were really nice guys, the album had just broken and round and round wasn’t even that big yet.
