    I love these shows,Asking the right questions ,me and my friends are big fans...I met Chris backstage when I was working for a independent local mag.and Co hosted RocklineTv a Austin TX a local access show.Chris and Blackie came to the area I was waiting in.They seemed as if they were drinking as they were having words with eachother and ended getting their hands on eachother.i m trippin thinking holy shit ! Both of these guys were big dudes...after they break it up.i didn't say a word.then Blackie said are you the guy that wants to talk to us I said yes."well let's do this sit down "ok he said where is your pen ",I say I need to get my things I set them dow over there.the fight had my attention so I moved out the way as they scffuld.I think Chris could take him .he was drinking..everyone sat down it was like nothing happened..they both talked yo me going through the questions and statements...it was great...they I think we're opening for Stryper in Austin
