Awesome! This is the TS I remember from the early 80’s club days in North Jersey. Soap Factory, Mothers, Hole In The Wall, etc.. Saw them a million times. Seems like yesterday.
Eddie ojeda's bc Rich shrill thin sound could cut through any sound proofing holy fuck. Finally. A live performance where mark mendoza actually played the bass rather than some goofy ass parlor tricks and not playing it. As TS when on over the years Mark Mendoza played less n less and was more worried about theatrics.
So glad i was in this generation, watched this live on MTV when it was MTV, saw them the next year opening for the Stones at the Coliseum in LA. Living Colour also opened up, G&R bandmates were late, Axl surprisingly was on stage first and pissed no one was there, he went into a rant about their song One In A Million because of comments earlier from Living Colour. I was young 21 maybe, but remember leaving there thinking the Stones really kicked ass, I was really there to see Guns and Roses though, probably the beginning of their downfall, great band few come close.
I watched this on an actual TV set that only got 13 channels. I think the Flo and Eddie show was some kind of local access PBS show at around 4pm? Stuff like this was somehow more special when I consumed it live, one time only. And Joel Martin.
Man this was when Twisted used to blow away everybody in the Tri-State club scene. Every where they played the place was packed and Rocking like Thunder. So many great memories seeing these guys in the clubs back in the day. I used to always make my way up to the front of the stage and rock out with These bad boys. Rock On Glenn Augustyn
