My absolutely worst gig was in Berkeley California at a dive called "The Starry Plough". We were a Heavy Metal band playing to a "Berkely" crowd. The soundperson was horrible..pluss on top of that we were asked to be turned down. Further that with the neighbors who lived upstairs (accrossed the street)complained about the noise even after were were turned down and called the cops. After only 30 mins. of playing we were asked not to play anymore because of the complaints of the noise.

Heavy Metal cencorship in "Berkeley"

Anyone who is familiar with "Berkeley" California will understand that situation better.
I started learning guitar because of Randy Rhoads..but Yngwie J. Malmsteen is my biggest influence.
