Frutos November Rain is an awesome tune

What about the video then??

Since I worked on that vid, herding 1500 extras in a downtown Los Angeles theatre, I feel slightly attached to it

I wasn't a fan of them, but had to admire the fact they played several of their other tunes between camera set-ups. One camera was on the tip of a crane thingy that was controlled by a bloke with a joystick and a screen - and it was inches away from the guitar while zooming down the frets. One wrong move, and Slash could've had a nasty drop off the piano!

This:

Steve, first an apology. I was going to call you a cheesy bugger for the G'nR, regardless of how good the song is. Then you went and put 'Hurt' on there.

Soooo beautiful, I love that song and video

No, didn't see meself in that one..... amongst flashes of a 1500 audience!
I took a look tonight at 'The Making of November Rain' i.e. (YouTube - Guns N' Roses - The Making of 'November Rain' (part 6)) to see if they mentioned the wrangling of the audience there, but never mind. I suppose the interest wasn't exactly behind "who got all those people together for the audience?".
There were such annoying ones as the middle-aged black women who were complaining "I ain't goin' in there to lissen to THAT noise chile, I don't even LIKE this kinda mewsic"
"well you're not here to LIKE it lady, you are working, and if you want to get PAID you get in the theatre and act like a crowd at a show"
Those people made J block look co-operative!


I WAS in this video though..... for a split mili-second or two
(made in a desolate piece of Los Angeles, under where the 101 and 10 Freeways meet)

It's a wild and crazy thing to do, and he wanted to know if there was a girl inside the cake.

No hidea, hactually. Anyway, I worked on the theatre bit. The bit where they were drinking at The Rainbow Bar and Grill was postponed to another night because it finished after midnight downtown. The Rainbow was their usual haunt anyway, I used to see them over there all the time at the same table in a corner. Lemmy was always there too, he can walk there from his place and I don't think he even owns a car (though he probably limps there since his big toe was amputated - he got gangrene from a bad diet, of crisps and Jack Daniels).

Always a happening place to drink. Once, I saw Ozzie on an interview pleading the ol' "I dunno what the fuss is about, I don't do drugs - I don't even drink!" - two nights later down The Rainbow he could hardly stand he was so mashed

It was a local for John Entwistle as well, though I missed the loony Moon days because he'd died a few years before I frequented the place. Heard a few stories of naked rolling on the tables, chucking food and grabbing girls and etc. Nowadays the place is too full of poseurs and hair extensions, and people who think rank bad manners are 'cool'.

Ahem, ...yes, anyway, more than you asked I know. I have no idea about the cake, but so many rock vids have indecipherable activities and lyrics in them, and they may or may not even mean anything to the people who thought it all up.
