Five Spot: Love's What I Got, Don't Start a Riot
Welcome back to Five Spot. Every Friday, we'll examine a recent bit of music news and list five reasons why it's either brilliant or dumb-assed. Send tips to introducingliston@gmail.com.
Just in case you're wondering, yes, now is the appropriate time for a lame "Bulls On Parade" joke. Undoubtedly, the decision to have a second RATM show was completely brilliant. We mean, who doesn't love a riot? Here are five other riot videos to help get you through the day:

Here's an easy recipe for a riot: Tell some Exploited fans there's a show, wait till they've put on their wickedest outfits and slicked their hair all up, then cancel the show. Bam! Instant riot.
