    That’s just fantastic. I’d so pay to watch them.

    Makes me wonder if it wasn't part of the show. Back in the day, when our R&R band played a new venue, I would bring the empty speaker cab. It was metal lined, and the smoke machine was piped into the rear. Toward the end of the 3rd set, the guitar player would go into an extended jam, getting more distorted until he set off the flash powder, and smoke started pouring out. We would kill the lights, and announce we would take a break, and try to see what happened.
    Always a crowd pleaser!

    I guess I’m too old to view those clips.

    "that guy was playing 2 full stacks, he was way too loud"

    Reminds me of when I saw a local band, Gypsy Amber, play the Bishop Guertin gym. Bob was playing his Les Paul Custom into 2 full Marshall stacks. It was stupendously loud. One would have been plenty but he was in his full fledge "I'm a rock star" phase.

    I think he's the head of the Nashua DPW now. Last time I saw him play, he was playing a headless guitar into a Line 6 Spyder at an open mic in one of the cheesiest dives in town.

    Several years ago my band opened for Nugent and that is what his backline on stage looked like, a bunch of empty Marshall cabinets. His rack of gear was off-stage to his right with his guitar tech running effects etc. At the end of his show he fired a flaming arrow into one of the fake cabinets while he had two Gibson guitars laying on the stage screaming with feedback.
