The night really couldn't have gotten any better. The energy from the crowd was electric, vibrating through each of the men on stage as they put on the show of their lives and allowing for a superb show.
Sal put what happened days ago behind him. With the help of his girl, Channing, and a lunch date with Ziyah to discuss matters of the band and what had occured that night when he allowed rage to consume him. He was riding that high once again and nothing felt better.
Good Evening, fuckin' Las Vegas!' he smirked behind his flaming microphone after the two-song opener. 'It's nice to see everyone out here tonight and we have one fuck of a show to put on for ya. Everyone having a good time so far?'
The crowd went ballistic as hollers and devil horns shot up over their heads.
'Good! So,' he extended a hand out, pointing at the mass of faces before him as he swept across them. 'Someone out there is having a birthday tonight.'
While Sal continued, he spotted Hank and her mass of family hootin' their wearabouts from the a couple rows out and gave her a grin.
'Happy Birthday! Now let's make some fuckin' noise!' he trailed off as Ryder, Chris and Sizz picked up at full volume.
'You pull me down
And you crucify my name
You make me insane
It's broken now
Don't ever look my way
Don't even think I'm playin'
'Cause I fucking hate you'
Taking a moment to grab some water, Sal came back out to centre stage. 'Alright, where the fuck is the birthday girl? Hank? Hank Callahan? Come on up here a minute..' he squinted past the bright spotlights. 'Hannnnk? You're wasting our time..'
While the fans slipped into a frenzy of laughs, Hank finally appeared.
'There she is. Everyone tell Hank to have a Happy fuckin Birthday..I'll be right back.'
With Sal resorting to his typically playful self, he disappeared as the sound of the crowd spewing off horribly off key rendition of the song as Ryder plucked out his own Looney Tunes electric guitar version in accompanyment.
'Holy shit..you guys sound TERRIBLE!' Sal spoke through the mic, returning with a guitar slung over his shoulder and making a mock cringe of disgust. 'We'll have to try that bad boy again after I do this.
'So I couldn't figure out what to get you..so this'll have to do.' he paused, looking at Hank with a goofy grin. Before she could ask 'what?' he slipped the guitar strap off his shoulder and handed it to her by the neck.
Her face dropped as she took it in her possession, leaving Sal with a chuckle as he reached over to push up on her chin and force her mouth to shut. It wasn't everyday that he could do shit like this, but for once, he made a radical decision and make someones birthday one they wouldn't ever forget. Sweeping her into a quick hug, he pulled back and motioned for the whole joint to try the song once more.
