the place we opened for WASP was another old theater called The Arcadia in Dallas.. unfortunately it burned down years ago.. I remember turning on the national news and they had video of it burning down.. was heartbreaking for me..
Now that I think about it, I think The Ritz was also a converted theater.. In '86 I was forming a band with two guys in Dallas - one was Aaron Wirez Barnes who was from my hometown and ended up being Pantera's soundman.. he was running sound for Damage Plan the night Darrell, my friend and guitarist, was shot and killed onstage..
Anyways, Aaron and Chris Glover were at the Ritz when some drunk MF'er took a pipe and beat Chris unconscious.. He had 5 brain surgeries and had to re-learn his ABC's.. I have been trying to find Chris since that night, but he all but disappeared... No idea why anyone would do that - he was a very gentle soul..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
