Maybe their brains are simply far more open because of their prolonged exposure to methamphetamine. Or maybe they've fried their bullshit meter.
"You know, some people got no choice
And they can never find a voice
To talk with that they can even call their own
So the first thing that they see
That allows them the right to be
Why they follow it, you know, it's called ... bad luck" -
Rollins clearly had not learned to get over himself.
Chris drew a funny cartoon about the incident, as I recall.The cartoon was in Stamp magazine: " My Chat With Henry". That show was way over-sold. You could hardly move in the Silo. I complained to the promoter and he shrugged. He had arrived with a busload of punters from New Plymouth, and a lot of them were on mushrooms. They heckled Chris then chattered incessantly amongst themselves throughout Henry's rant. At one point he stopped to draw breath and a voice came out of the crowd.
"Henry … Henry! Have you tried mushrooms?"

Sometime in late 1993, around the time 'The Venus Trail' was released, the 3D's played the Gluepot. It was a great show and one magic moment has stuck in my mind. Mid-song, a punter scrambles out of the mosh and onto the stage, beer aloft. He dances next to a heads-down David Mitchell for a few seconds. Something must have passed between this fan and the hairy master of strum and braaaaang. Was it a look, a raised eyebrow, a gesture with the bottle? Who knows. The crowd went wild as the punter leaned over and poured beer from his stubby straight down the parched guitarist's gullet. He drank it down while continuing to play like a man possessed.
