I was at the Stones Steel Wheels show in Los Angeles when Guns and Rose's opened for them.
I'll never forget Axl Rose introducing the song, "Knocking on Heavens Door" by telling the audience that the song was about, "getting what you want in life", and, "having a good attitude"....the really young fans had no idea what was going on and were screaming in appreciation, while we looked at each other in confusion. Then Rose went on a long, incoherent rant about his bands addictions and how he was going to quit...he then fell off the stage...
The Sex Pistols also played Randy's Rodeo, right up the street from our house in San Antonio, Texas, which I could never fathom, since it was an especially local, conservative, tex mex neighborhood of mostly older folks who never heard of them. The place was a bingo hall for years after...it was the most surreal moment...
