On the day of the concert, a couple of friends and I went to Hardee's for lunch. While standing in line to order we saw this guy sitting by himself near the counter. He looked like he hadn't bathed in a week and had long, stringy, greasy hair with ripped clothes and tattoos all over his arms. Now with us being idiot punk high schooler's we started making comments about his appearance loud enough for him to overhear. Of course he doesn't take kindly to this and he gets up and gets right in my face. Words were exchanged and then he pushed me. I pushed back and he wound up and took a swing at my head but I stepped back so he missed. Before it went any further a guy steps between us and announces that he is an off duty Police Officer and threatens to arrest us both so my friends and I decided to leave at that point.

I had no idea who he was at the time but not more than a month or so later I saw the video for Sweet Child 'o Mine (or was it Welcome to the Jungle? Whatever thier first video was) on MTV for the first time. I recognized him right away and seeing as they were in town the day it happened I have no doubt it was him.
