Ep.10: September 1983 (Part One) - Black Sabbath, Kiss, Rainbow, Rush, and Joe Perry
Q: If you could go back in time and do any of these three things, which would you pick: be at the Unchained era of Van Halen, ride the flaming gong on stage, or be behind Rob Halford's motorcycle at a Judas Priest show?
The choice favors being behind the burning gong on stage—the visual of a flaming gong creates a legendary, adrenaline-fueled moment that epitomizes early 80s metal spectacle, even if it comes with a risk-filled setup and a heavy dose of stage theatrics.
