Best Quote EVER

I'm watching "Heavy: The story of Metal" on VH1 for like the 6th time. Metal!!!!!!!!!

Slash, of Guns n' Roses fame, was just talking about seeing Van Halen for the first time, and said, ". . . I was thirteen, fourteen years old, I used to sell quaaludes at the Starwood and I was like whoa! . . ."

How perfect is the image of Slash, barely pubescent, but even then with curly hair and top hat, hawking 'ludes at a club?

Also, I gotta give it up for Ronnie James Dio, inventor of the universal symbol of metal: devil horns! He got it from his Italian grandmother's "evil eye" gesture. I'm a big fan, particularly of the two-handed, fist-to-fist, pinkies raised in the "too much metal for one hand" symbol.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!
