Do you have a "favorite moment" story about playing in Hell's Belles?  We were in the middle of a five day ski-resort tour and had arrived in Vail for the show that evening. The entire trip I had heard about the venue in Vail, 8150 ( which is the altitude by the way) and how amazing it was. So we show up early to hear the supporting band, Jett Black, and it is a cool looking venue, good size, about 600 people capacity, and starting to fill up. Well we watched Jett Black and then started to prepare for the show. The time had come, we were wanted on stage. We step onto the stage and the entire place was packed, wall to wall people. Adrian struck the opening riff for Riff Raff and the place went crazy. The entire stage began bouncing up and down. Microphone stands were swaying, the drums were barely staying in place, and the amps were swaying forward and backwards. By the third song in our set the stage techs had to climb on stage to strap down the amps to the stage so that they wouldn't fall over! The entire show was like a crazy amusement park ride. It was amazing the amount of energy the crowd was sending us, and so in return we gave it right back to them!

What's your favorite AC/DC song to play?  Let there be ROCK!
