It was a great show, one big massive orgy of eighty thousand drunken half-naked Finnish people. We rocked this enormous audience, but they weren’t there to see us, they were there to see the Ramones. After our show, we all assembled to watch the Ramones, who weren’t the most engaging fellows if they didn’t know you. They kept to themselves in the backstage area. Before they went on, they went through their entire set in the dressing room with unamplified instruments. When they went out, we huddled at the side of the stage, and someone came up with the idea of taking off our clothes and running onstage and doing a little dance in homage to the Ramones. Hillel was dead set against it, but Flea and Jack and I stripped down and skanked naked across the stage during “Blitzkrieg Bop.” Later that night, I ran into Johnny Ramone and their manager in the lobby of the hotel. Johnny bitched me out: ‘Who the fuck do you think you are to get on our stage during our show without your fucking clothes on? That was not cool.’ ‘I’m sorry. We did it because we love you. We didn’t mean to interfere which your aesthetic,’ I apologized. Johnny stormed away, but Joey Ramone, who’d been lingering in the shadows, came up and whispered to me, ‘Personally, I thought it was kind of cool,’ and then walked away.“ Anthony Kiedis, Scar Tissue (via fanaticbychoice) You can find the video here: This is the aftermath of the show: “Upon returning home, both Kiedis and Slovak resumed their heroin addictions. In the weeks following the tour, Slovak isolated himself in his Hollywood apartment and struggled to resist drugs without the support of his friends (...) Little is known about Slovak the weeks following the tour, aside from a phone call to his brother on June 24th in which he told him that he was having difficulty staying clean.“- Source:
