My conversation with Spider

After a '94 show in LA, Spider mentioned where the band was going to have a few after the show. Seeing him in the bar later, I told him thanks for the show. The conversation:

Spider: What's yer name?
Me: Tony
Spider: (Doing his best Italian mobster movie thug accent) Fuck you, motherfucker!
Me: (Similiar accent) No, fuck you, motherfucker!
Spider: Fuck you, motherfucker!
Me: Fuck you, motherfucker!! Hey, motherfucker, can I get an autograph?
Spider: Sure, motherfucker!

My ticket stub reads:

Hey Tony
Fuck you
Spider

Truly a highlight of my life.

We found out that night a couple nights later they would play an unannounced show at the Viper Room (a few hundred people capacity). Spider, James and 1 or 2 others played a great little gig with Slim Jim Phantom (Stray Cats) on the drums....What a blast. Cant wait for Boston!
