One of the opening bands called Weedwhacker had these tall potted plants as part of their stage show which quickly were thrown off the stage and flung around by the crowd till security yanked them away. Rest assured, the shows weren’t any less crazy. In 2022, the owner of Now That’s Class sold the venue to a new owner, who retitled it to No Class. However another recent show is pretty damn close in terms of insanity.ĭ.R.I. It was like the lyrics of “Metal Command” by Exodus brought to life. Total chaos and I left out some other insane shit that happened for sake of brevity. A guy being carried out on a stretcher halfway through Midnight. Fireworks going off in the pit during Midnight’s set. Moshing that enveloped the entire front half of the crowd and venue during both band’s sets.

I nearly fainted and kicked myself for years that I didnt get an autograph. We got stuck in there until one guy said 'shit, their set is almost done, we gotta go!' and promptly we all bailed on the bathroom in a cloud of smoke and two of them went to the stage.and Megadeth started. We pulled out a joint and they said 'fine but no room for more' and blocked the door. '85 Exciter / Megadeth / Hirax playing general admission at a ROLLERSKATING rink! Exciter was doing a long drum solo thing so we ducked into the mens room to smoke a joint and Katon the singer for Hirax and two guys from Megadeth (not Dave) were already in there, and it was like two stalls and a urinal sized. ![]() Lets hear about those times when you went WTF? at a crazy show and either laughed out loud or got the hell out of the way.
