Title: The Gak
Post by: nonlinear on September 16, 2006, 02:14:47 PM
does anyone have any info on "The Gak," an improvised 'band' featuring Axl, Duff, Slash, Baz, James Hetfield and Lars, who all played at a RIP Magazine party at Hollywood Palladium in 1990?

I'm looking specifically for a setlist and any pics that may have been taken, or a recording if one exists.

also, what does "the gak" refer to?  I know Bruce Dickinson used to refer to cocaine as "gak" but not sure if this has any relation
