Quadrophenia is one of the best albums ever made, in my opinion. Maybe the best. It will always hold up.

Skankang STYX!

How many copies of "Cornerstone" exist in this world?

Not from "Cornerstone", but best example I could think of at this time:

I sat in that Sea of Drunks four, count 'em, four different times....

Time 1: Summer 1991 prior to Use Your Illusions 1 and 2 being released.
Outdoors at a horse track, Axl was in rare form, got mad at the band many times, at one time, stormed off telling the band to learn the f*ing songs. Slash played the Godfather theme for a while... Terrible show.

Show 2: Houston, TX - The Summit - Soundgarden opened
No one had even heard of Soundgarden (inc me) -
Floor seats - still ranks as one of the all time great shows I've ever seen.
Band clicked - awesome renditions of Estranged, Paradise City, Patience, Double Talkin Jive, Don't Cry, November Rain, etc.

Show 3 (may be getting these our of order) - Houston, TX - Astrodome - this was the infamous Metallica/GNR tour. Not half bad really, spectacular people watching. Metallica was solid, this was pretty shortly after the show where James Hetfield was torched by his own fireworks, lots of swearing. When they were done, hours of waiting for GNR. Time was passed by the road crew shining spotlights on women in the crowed. Once the spotlight hit, shirts came off. I was young and thought this was kind of neat. GNR came on eventually.

Show 4: Austin, TX - memorable in the fact that one of said drunks got into a scuffle with my cousin. Police swarmed, we missed a few songs getting this sorted out.

My thoughts exactly. It's about respect for the music. You have to take care of records. You have to get up off the couch and turn the record over after 5 or 6 songs. It's work, but well worth the effort.

Me too. My older sister turned me on to it. The cover alone is worth the purchase, but the music is cool. It really had an effect on me at the time. Still listen to it on a regular basis.

The shirt(s) that Billy puts on after he destroys the first one might even be better.

Animal (F*ck like a beast), Sex Drive, and Harder Faster; just doesn't mean as much as it did when I was 10 or 11 years old.
