Total Running Time: APROX.73 minutes

Review

Guns played in St. Louis 2, 1991. The biker called "Stumb" had been bugging Axl all through the show. At the point, he passed a note uo to Axl, who said, quietly "Real fucking cute, man. Real cute." He then gave the note to a roadie. This jerk continued to heckle Axl and the band, and bully people in the audience for another 45 minutes. When the guy pulled out the camera, Axl called for security (who is comprised of mostlly friends of the biker gang this jerk belonged to), who never bothered to do anything. Azl jumped out into the crowd and the rest was history. (A never mentioned fact in any of the press releases: Axl didn't start the riot. The crowd was  stunned and quiet for a few minutes, waiting for the band to come out back out. The Maryland Heights, MO Police Dept started it when two officers chased a kid up onstage and got a little to rough with him. Someone threw a chair at the cops, and in what was probably the most irresponsible move these two goons could have made, the cops threw the chairs back at the crowd. THAT is what started the riot.) What's interesting is, the band kept looking out from a curtain backstage, as if they were coming back out. But as soon as the chairs (ripped up from the concrete floor) went crashing into matt's kit, the band left. What the crowd did was reprehensible.
