“I can’t believe I wasted half my life helping Tipper put warning labels on this stuff when I could have been seeing these guys do their thing live,” Gore said of W.A.S.P. “They used to whip raw meat at the audience. How bad-ass is that?”

“Cause I’m burning, burning, burning up with fi-ire! ” added Gore, screaming the lyrics to “Wild Child.”

Photographing U2 has become more difficult as they have become more well known. The Joshua Tree was taken over a period of three days travelling through the desert. It’s unthinkable for U2 to do that now. For their last album I had two hours in bad weather.
