GG's words are in regular text. Merle’s are in boldface.

We started our last tour in February of '92. The tour lasted six shows, and in that time GG was arrested twice. The last show was Austin, Texas, where he was arrested for indecent exposure and disorderly conduct.

Assault and battery.

Assault and battery, and that stemmed from the show. But they decided to extradite him back to Michigan, where he had a warrant...

Yeah, I was on...

...an outstanding warrant.

I was on parolе at the time, and I just pretty much said fuck you to my parolе agent. He had too many restrictions on me, and I just couldn't live by any sort of restrictions. So I gave him the big kiss-off, and went out on the road anyway. We did three tours; I think we did about 32 shows. I think I got arrested about 12 or 13 times. And there were, like, cops at every show...

Cops at the shows.

And I ended up in the hospital. I mean, but that’s... I mean, when you go on tour with me, I mean, you've got to expect that you're... you know, somewhere down the line, you're gonna be in jail more than a few times. You're either gonna end up in jail or in the hospital. So it's not like we go on the road and it's some great luxury tour, or anything. It's more like a fuckin’ war.

We never expect to finish a tour when we start it, anyway.

No, we barely expect to finish a show. But, I mean, that’s... I don't care. I mean, I don’t care if I don't finish a show. As long... if I fuck somebody up, or if we fuck the club up, or... basically, if I can get my revenge, and get the release out of me that I feel like getting out, then for me, it's a successful show. Because I'm not out to please anybody but myself.
