Second Best
A few hours before our last show of 2013. At the Fillmore in San Francisco, Johan and Nicholaus are talking about something that happened the night before. What happened? Pelle introduced Johan as the second-best bass player in the world. "You wanted the best, but Dr. Matt Destruction couldn't make it this time, so we got you the second-best instead. His name is Dr. Johan Destructafsson!"

Two Favorite Kinds of Music
What it's all about, ladies and gentlemen – what we all grew up loving and will continue to love until the day we say goodbye. Our two favorite kinds of music: rock & roll!

Sit!
People of San Francisco, for this I need you all to do exactly what I tell you to do: I need you all to SIT DOWN!

What You Will Do
And when I tell you to stand up and scream, that's exactly what you all want to do, and will do, simply because you love us and will do what I say, no matter what . . . STAND UP AND SCREAM!

Encore
I hear them scream, too! But what songs do we play? Let's play "Patrolling Days" as the last encore. This was a fun one!
