Golden Shower is played next by request.
I sat on the floor at the foot of the stage tilting the camera upwards for great close-up shots. It is during their third song, When You're Horny, You're Horny that an a-hole wearing a kilt and a pair of steel-toe combat boots lept off the short stage and booted me in the face, smashing the microphone off the camera and knocking the camera out of my hands and onto the floor.
The remaining two minutes of the film is me, blood streaming down my face looking for the s.o.b. that sucker-kicked me. I was so pissed off and traumatized by this incident that I never showed this video to anyone...until now.
To all who miss the Master of Rape Rock I highly recommend this amazing video, a priveleged peek into the past...a "Must Have" for all the fans of the one, the only, El Duce.
