      That's the best.
      A band is about the music it produces - and nothing else.
      Anything fans do is what the fans do. Good or bad. Stop blaming bad or good on the bands. Censorship will never stop the goodness in people's hearts. Dead or ICP. Just don't be a cultist who judges non fans.

    My best friend did prison time for Fast Eddie, 1 year out of high school. We all flew out to New York for the shows, him and Skydog Steve Williams got busted by Feds and I was left out there with no plane ticket home since my buddy had the tickets when he got busted. This was the 2nd show I'd ever been to. I knew no one except Fast Eddie, Ira, and my friends that were now about to go to prison. So that's how I was baptized by fire, hitchhiked all up and down the East Coast for Summer Tour, it was the best and worst thing that ever happened to me.

    1. As long as they don't take it to seriously " new "
    2. We are in the business of making music not keeping it ( you shoulda heard that a long time ago Axl ) which may have been a cherry sound.

    I went with friends and saw them in ‘91-‘92 at Sam Boyd at UNLV in Vegas. I wanted to see Steve Miller Band more than the Dead lol, but the Dead were great, ended up liking them. I found a killer bag of pot in the Slots of Fun bathroom, all rolled up in a baggy, best weed ever had back then. Sting played the ‘92 year, he sucked, totally boring. Some idiot tried to sell us grocery store mushrooms all sliced up, my buddy worked produce at a grocery store and called him out on it, the loser ran off. Lol

    What great nostalgia... Unfortunately, I didnt get into the dead until about 5-6 years ago. A bunch of my friends were huge into the dead in high school and college, and went to a few shows. Seems like the older i got, the more i got into them. Now, oddly enough its pretty much all I listen to. Which is disappointing in a way. If they were still around (the original band) Id follow them anywhere.
