Flashback Video: Mr. Big - Wind Me Up

So I stumbled upon this video while searching through VH1 Classic's video catalog. WOAH did it bring back memories!
When the CD with this song came out, we got a promotional copy at the record store where I worked. I took it home because i fell in love with it and all my co-workers weren't big rock fans.
So after listening to it a million times and memorizing the songs I was convinced that they would MAKE it Big at SOME point.
Then some time later they came to town for a show.
First they did the obligitory appearance at a local music store where some friends of mine worked.
Jumping the line I found my working buddies and asked if they could get the guys in the group to sign a magazine for me.
So he took it up to the table and pointed me out to the guys so they knew who it was for.
Once the mag got into the hands of the lead singer, Eric Martin, he stopped and thought. For a pretty long time too.
Then he seemed to write a novel and hand it back to my friend who brought it to me. (Needless to say, I was curious!)
What Eric wrote was "Love Kills, stop me before I kill again!"
Of course, I took this as a bit of a compliment.
That night after the show the band hung around and mingled with us commoners because the basz player is from Buffalo but for some reason there wasn't a stop in his hometown on their tour. His whole family was there.
Anyways...I was standing talking to a friend of mine when Mr. Martin walked by. (who am I kidding...I didn't take my eyes off him for one minute when they were done, I had to say something!)
So as he got near me I said "Love kills!"..which stopped him in his tracks. He turned to me a bit confused and I said "Love kills, stop me before I kill again? That sounds like a good song title to me!"
He laughed, remembering suddenly where that came from.
I don't remember how long he stood talking to me and my buddy, all I remember was loving every minute of the attention and paying him TONS of compliments on his singing.
Well, there wasn't a song called Love Kills on their next CD but there was a song called "Be With You" that became a HUGE hit and brought the stripped-down ballad into style in the early 90's.
What can I say, I know talent when I see it!
Ahhhh...MEMORIES!
