We've got your back, Tommy...

For anyone who was at last night's show, at the institution that is Morgan's, you likely noticed (unless you were totally plastered...and, it happens!) that Tommy Gunns wasn't on stage with the rest of the boyz. He had some work done on a back almost destroyed by constant touring for the last 37 years. We ask you to send out your best wishes to Tommy for a full and speedy recovery. As well, we, obviously, want to shout out thanks to Tommy's little bro J.J. Gunns for filling in so admirably. He's a bit of a lightweight when it comes to the drinking part of the gig, but he held his own musically, once again. Thanks J.J.!

That reminds me of a story...

Just after Christmas 1989, the boyz were out opening for Aerosmith. A plum gig, at a great time of year, which had the boyz all in great spirits (and into the spirits, as well). Except for Johnny Emaxx, who was his crustier than usual, after breaking up with Winona Ryder (she was popular in '89, really). So at a show in Springfield, Massachusetts things went a bit sideways. Seeing as how Steven Tyler and the boys are from Boston, the crowd was a bit antsy to see their hometown (homestate) heroes. Part way through the Toyz set someone decided to take matters into their own hands and whipped a bottle at Johnny, hinting that it was time to get off the stage. Well, Johnny the band heavy (as described by Tommy Gunns) wasn't gonna let this slide, especially given the irritation from his newly blue balls. He picked up the bottle and, after parting the crowd around the offender like the Red Sea, hurled the bottle back at the jackass in the crowd. Unfortunately the bottle hit the...


What? That happened to Sebastian Bach from Skid Row, too? And it was in Springfield, as well? Those New Englanders are crazy! Wow, that's a coincidence...

Uh...ok...Likki just told me that it happened to Sebastian Bach, but not Johnny. Likki was lying to me when he told me it happened to Johnny. Johnny never smashed an innocent chick's face with an empty bottle. Bastards...they're always f***ing with me.

Anyway, the guys have done and seen it all, except for hitting the wrong people in the face with bottles. That happened to Sebastian Bach. But he was cool, too. Well...he was once upon a time.

Ok. I gotta go now. But I'll be back with more shit you didn't know about Broken Toyz!
