Maybe this video is only available in the US? I can easily see other videos from the Home Blitz channel, but this one is not even listed on their channel, and when I use the link below, I get an error "This video is not available: Sorry about that". I tried it just now. > The Home Blitz cover was still there when I checked just now... > > On 05-May-15 8:33 PM, Paul King wrote: > > Looks like it no longer exists.

Funny, seemingly disinterested in his past, snarky, sometimes obnoxious (hence Ross and my band), but not really excitable. He also liked to screw with people back then, Pete Buck told me Alex invited him on stage to play with him, told him what key to play in but had told the band a completely different key. Apparently made Buck sound inept. - - Dan V ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 May 2015 10:35:01 -0400 From: Dan Sallitt Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Re: Scott And Alex Dan - Alex always had that detachment, and the stories of him screwing with people are legend - but he was so nice to all of us fans back then. We hung out with him after a 1985 gig on UCLA campus with Rene and Doug, and he actually played Joni's "A Case of You" and let me sing it! A year or two later he was doing his own Lingerie gig, and the club was making his crowd wait in line on the street for some mysterious reason. He recognized us and came over to say hello - when he heard what was happening, he scowled and went in, and a few seconds later the club admitted us... I had the sense at the time that he mostly got in the face of people that had power or could help him in some way, and that he had no motivation to be unpleasant to fans and such.
