Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Hated Paul's 1985 look, double leather is always a no-no. He could have fitted in well with these twats...

He looks like any of a number of 80s movie bullies named Chet or Chad.

Somebody should bring bandanas back. Maybe it should be Paul again.

I honestly thought he only wore this for the Athens show, but he wore it for all three festival shows that summer. Athens is the only one wear he has the bandanna covering his face.

He didn't want anyone to know it was him. I understand.
