February 2, 1988 ♪ The Ritz

“In New York, we filmed a show for MTV, which was another one of those nights that was a great show for fun, and the crowd was crazy. The show didn’t necessarily go as well as I think it should have. We had a monitor man, and on stage, it was the twilight zone. I stage-dived, and my Thin Lizzy shirt got shredded right off my body. The crowd grabbed my necklaces and started choking me, pulling my hair. Some little kid had my arm between his knees with his legs wrapped around and his hand behind his back holding onto my hand, trying to steal my bracelets and was not going to let go of me until he got them. I couldn’t get a hand free to punch him in the head because Doug Goldstein had my other arm and was trying to yank me back to the stage, and I’m getting split in two. There are like, 30 people trying to throw me back on stage and another 30 trying to get a piece of Axl. It was a blast!”—Axl (Blast!, 1988)
