We went over to White Zombie’s tour manager and said, ‘This guy was booing us and that’s one thing, but now he’s booing The Ramones, and if you boo The Ramones you’re booing rock ‘n’ roll.’ So the tour manager went and plucked this kid out of the audience and kicked him out of the show for booing The Ramones.
