The VIP pass was sent to my son as a gift by a dear friend from L.A. that is a personal friend of the band and used sometimes to jam with them (he has his own metal band).
The way we became friends 30 years ago was great - I was returning from the north of Israel with some friends after a drunken week on the beach (one of us was once even sobber enough to swim for a few minutes during that alcoholic vacation), on the way back to Jerusalem we had to switch buses in Tel Aviv and while waiting for our bus someone shouted from across the street "Hey you in the Motorhead shirt !" - I turned and saw a guy with long hair and a Motorhead t-shirt running through the traffic towards me - he asked me where are good places to drink in Tel aviv, I told him "screw Tel Aviv mate - if you wanna do some serious drinking come over to Jerusalem."
I gave him my phone number and address - he and his friend came to Jerusalem a day or 2 later and we had some serious drinking sessions - it was the beginning of a great friendship that is now over 30 years long - including more visits from him to me in Israel over the years - I am looking forward to his visit in 2015 - my son is also looking forward to do some jamming with him - kiddo got a collection of electric guitars and 2 amps - I got the vodka ready in the freezer. :)
