October 16, 2003, 20 years ago
Metal Sludge (www.metal-sludge.com) report that on October 15th at around 1:30am, there was a shooting outside the Rainbow Bar & Grill on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood.
As the story goes, earlier in the evening there was a fight, and after the fight, one of the guys came back with a gun and opened fire into the crowd by the patio at the Rainbow, grazing former KISS lead guitarist BRUCE KULICK and hitting one of B-Real's (KUSH, CYPRESS HILL) friend's in the foot. A total of about three shots were fired, and when he was out of bullets, a crowd of about 30 people basically beat the shit out of the guy in the middle of Sunset Blvd.
Bruce was being attended to down by the Key Club, where VINCE NEIL (MOTLEY CRUE) was performing, and will be OK but was naturally very shaken up. There are conflicting reports as to where Bruce was grazed, with some people saying his head. He was obviously very lucky!
As for the guy who opened fire, he was last seen being put into the ambulance and was really fucked over. The entire street was shut down .
More on this story as it becomes available.
