Last concert before I went off to college.
That's right....at the age when the smart kids were seeing Jane's Addiction, here I was with a ticket indicating that I paid to see those fucking "More Than Words" guys.
These were actually good seats (third row or something...not that my photography skills on display in this post would prove as much), but the concert was one of the lamest affairs I've ever witnessed.
DLR was officially washed up, and gave a painfully forced show biz performance. He also touched almost nothing from the album his was touring in support of, which should give you some indication of how weak the "Little Ain't Enough" album was. Mostly "Crazy from the Heat" and Van Halen material.
Cinderella wasn't bad at all. They were touring off of "Heartbreak Station", and seemed at a totally new level for songcraft. I caught Eric Brittingham's bass pick at the end of the show, but I lost it years ago.
We missed Extreme, because my friend was dating a college girl who wanted to stop and get something to eat on the way to the show.
I got over it. (Missing Extreme, that is; I'm still kind of jealous that he lost his virginity to a college girl).

Um, wrong...on many levels. Let me school you. First Cinderella was touring their first album, Night Songs. Roth was touring his first solo album, Eat em and Smile, which was a huge hit. Roth's touring band included Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan. If you knew anything about music, rock guitar in particular, you'd know these names and how fantastic they are at their craft. Also, Extreme's Nuno Benrtencourt is one of the best out there. Just because you can write a blog on this subject, like any second grader, you probably should not. Obviously, your trip to college was wasted. You dont even know how to research. Smmfh.
