Wow, really? Yeah, thanks for reminding us. I am sure those 'tallica fans with their odd thrash metal usernames like "keefriff99" and "keefriffhard4life" are pretty much Stones fans as well.

Good now that we have that cleared up

I just find it funny how quick people are to get on the defensive if anything maybe slightly negative is said about their beloved Stones.

Look I absolutely love the hell out of the Stones, but just because they have made some of my absolute favourite albums and songs but it doesn't mean that they are saints.

It's like the Black Crowes who have been in the news recently because of the upcoming cash grab tour. by all accounts Chris & Rich are selfish pricks, however that doesn't stop me loving their music that they've made over the years.

Agreed.

As for people defending the Stones against anything that's slightly negative, there's only a very small handful here who would fall in that category, and I'm certainly not one of them.
Many of my posts are critical of the Stones, but when you get an ungrateful dork like Lars speaking crap about the Stones who were kind enough to allow his band to open for them, someone has to call him out, and many here have.
Seems he's seen the light and is now looking back at the experience fondly, so hats off to him for realizing he misspoke like a spoiled brat back then. But honestly, I don't take any of this very seriously....it's only rock'n'roll.

But leaving that behind, here's a crazy video of Metallica during the Monsters of Rock Tour at the L.A. Coliseum in 1988.
The power was cut during their set (at the 2:25 mark) due to fans rushing the stage, and the ensuing chaos involved chairs flying and all around mayhem.

I don't recall the tour even happening, but seems it was plagued with problems throughout: Monsters of Rock Tour 1988

I saw that tour. VH & der Scorpions headlined. Fuzzy memories because i had a promo ticket in the Kingdome press box. free booze & food - big trouble, haha. the day before i went on a party boat with the scorps around puget sound. they had the foresight to import some strippers from the slippery when wet club in vancouver. that was some evening! those were the days...haha

Sounds like a blast crholmstrom!

I bet the Scorpions were great live - not so sure about Van Hagar, but was never a fan of that era.
And I recall Dokken being fairly popular at the time (mtv, etc.)...wonder whatever happened to them...

The suck !

I agree with Keith Richards assessment of Metallica:

“It sounds like a dull thud to me. For most bands, getting the syncopation is beyond them. It’s endless thudding away, with no bounce, no lift, no syncopation. Millions are in love with Metallica and Black Sabbath. I just thought they were great jokes.”

I also agree with Jeffrey Lebowski's assessment:

"Bunch of a$$holes."

Bon Jovi named his album Slippery from hanging out all the strip bars in Vancouver when they were recording the album. Number 5 Orange is still around but others like the Marble Arch and Cecil have closed, mostly due to high rent. I didn't go to the Kingdome show but my brother drove down to see it.
