Can't wait to listen to this one.  Such a memorable moment in GNR history whether you liked the performance or not.  I'll never forget it.  One of my friends was actually AT the VMAs as her brother had somehow gotten tickets to it.  I am still jealous of her for that.

Listening now. I forgot you'd asked Fallon about introducing them. I'd love to meet Fallon someday and talk music. 

A girl I used to work with was into the NYC punk scene and she said she'd regularly see Fallon at shows years ago before he sobered up.  Apparently he liked to hit the sauce hard.  He'd show up by himself and say hello to anyone who wanted to speak with him. He might still drink for all I know, but at the very least he's eased up.

Yeah my understanding is the fall in his kitchen that almost took his ring finger off was sauce-related and kicked him closer to normalcy.

I've heard those things about Fallon. I always thought he'd fit right in at my Friday night record spinning sessions, but maybe not if he's sober now :lol:

I'd assume Fallon is one of those people that you'd need to be on the sauce to tolerate him. I appreciate his appreciation (a weird thing to say, btw) for GnR but I can't stand him in general.

Those fake laughs are some of the worst sounds I've ever heard on live tv
