Episode #18 - Donington 1987

In the shadow of East Midlands International Airport, Blackie Lawless sharpened the blades of his chainsaw codpiece.

Ronnie James Dio stood on tippy-toe to meet the venue’s minimum height restrictions. James Hetfield practised his trademark woof! in front of the hotel mirror while, in the room next door, Jon Bon Jovi practised not tripping on the Stars and Stripes flag-turned-cape around his shoulders.

It was August 22, 1987 and the Monsters were back. All was right with the world.
