My twin brother and best friend saw this psycho at The Exit in Chicago in the late eighties.
Trust me...you wouldn't have wanted to have seen this nutjob live!
Isn't that why I would've wanted to see him live?
Well, if one doesn't mind being chased around a bar pool table by a crazed, naked, bloody, feces covered lead singer fella, then it would've been right up your alley!
Thanks for the story! Did your brother know he was like that before he went. Talk about memorable concerts though. Almost killed by a serial murderer!
Yeah. We had heard rumors of the guys stage antics. This was all pre-Internet obviously so info certainly was more word of mouth. Evidently the show began with him defecating all over the stage, at which point the "audience participation" part kicked in. (i.e. - he removed the glasses off the face of one fella and then punched him square in the nose). It all sort of went downhill from that point.

Yep, that was me being chased around the pool table with my friend John. Decided to go on a whim and thought it would be entertaining. Things started out weird when they all came out naked...went downhill from there.

We saw him on the street before the show too, fully clothed. Looked like a sort of normal guy. Drummer was a fat little naked guy. Freakin hilarious.
My list is a strange mishmash of stuff, but kill I would.

Buddy of mine saw him twice and went up front, brave soul...
Said that GG wanted to "toy" with people. He looked for scared people or fans in the back, especially in the back! Didn't mess with people up front that "wanted it" but I'm sure that changed from show to show.
