CINCINNATI
Cincinnati Pix: Members Only Public Gallery
Its about a deuce of ticks… and me and Scott and Casey and Jim our Tour Manager
just flew in on a private jet from Cincinnati. We're here at the hotel in
Detroit - just thought about calling up Pam and Kid Rock, cause I know they live
here, to find out a good place to get a pedicure and a manicure in town. But
I'll wait til tomorrow when I wake up. The show tonight was unreal again, seems
every night gets better to me. Joe came into my dressing room tonight and
pleaded with me to do “Devils got a new Disguise” saying he thought everyone in
the band knew it, but I decided to wait till the sound check in Detroit, which
we have to do.
It was beautiful in Cincy, 70 degrees, I even got in a hoot in to the crowd, I
said in the middle of the show “WHO DEY!!!!” and 20,000, people said “WHO DEY”
and I said WHO DEY AGAIN, and they said, WHO DEY again, and I responded with a
WHO DEY THINKS GONNA BEAT THEM BENGALS. Having overheard on the radio that was
the chant for the Bengals football team
...I've never been a big fan of sports, unless you talk about the wild thing..
Lookout baby I'm keeping score, and the ones that ain't, I show the door.
I better get my book out quick….- I’m getting a lot of hits on “DEVILS….
Sometimes my train of thought makes all the stops… the fans in Cincinnati were
RABID, just the way I like it, I'd run up and down the runway, slappin five -
that kind of stuff to me NEVER gets old. I love getting’ in your face. And
sometimes bitin’ a few lips..
But all in a day's work, standin next to Joe Perry, you know how he incites me
into a riot.

What you don’t know is there’s a guy standin’ stage left, named John Lammey,
who gives me an in-ear mix that sometimes sounds better than the records. He
sometimes puts the effects in places I wish I had on the albums.. he and I are
getting tighter…as opposed to some of the other people that have tried to mix
my in-ears, this guy was in a cover band, called ‘draw the line’ out of
Boston, and out of their minds. So he knows all the in, and outs, to most of
the songs. And therein lies the magic of my insanity onstage. If you took my
in-ear mix and made a record out of it, it might be a right vocal loud, so I
don’t have to scream into the mic, and it might be good enough to sell as a
live record.
Anyway, that’s what gets me off these days, even more than the drugs.. cuz the
next day, with music, my ears are woooshin a little. But the next day on
drugs.. is hells kitchen, and I ain't goin there no more. Checked into my room
in Michigan, to a box of goodies from Lorie Karbel - she’s got a great store
here In town, that ya’ll should check out. You might even bump into moi. (to
those of you without a Brazilian, that’s ME in French) She’s always got great
oils and smell-ums and bath robes, softer than a baby’s ass.
See you all at the DTE Energy center.. and O’YEAH, it will be the 1st time we
play “Devils got a new Disguise”… I cant wait.
Catch you on the flip side.
Love,
