Back then, #RATM was a #gamechanger. There was nothing like it. I still believe that we would have torn the Batschkapp Club apart at a signal from the stage. The atmosphere was so charged, the pit was on fire, still one of THE #concerts of my life! Today I see the band more critically. #Music #xover
