Best outtake ever

I swear this is true. PLaying a gig at a little club in town this old guy wanders up to the stage between songs and asks when we will be feeding him dinner. I swear every word of it is true

That would be wierd. What did you tell him?

I saw he had a med braclet so i told him that people would be coming to give him dinner and called his hospital. apperently he had pretty heavy brain damage

Thats sad, but cute at the same time. :( :)

That had to ruin your night.

thats like the twilight zone...7 years bad is a coming! :)

It wasn't that bad. It's something we talk about to this day, so we constantly have entertainment.

There was a guy named Stanley in the town I grew up in who was a bit of a nutter, but he loved Rock'n'Roll. He was the kind of guy who becomes famous for being widely known, if you can grasp that. It got so that it was an important kind of seal of approval if Stanley dug your band. And his ultimate accolade was to say he had jammed tambourine with you.

Our first big gig was the first dance of the school year at the high school I had graduated from. I was nervous enough about that on it's own, but as we were setting up, I heard that Stanley was coming to the dance. But I was prepared.

He appeared out of the crowd at the front of the stage, just as we finished the first song of our second set. Our bass player was also our leader, and he wasn't cool about having Stanley get up on stage with us. He was under some pressure because our lead singer had crapped out on us, leaving him to handle the vocals. I kind of slid in between him and Stanley, and waved him on up. While Stanley was bouncing up the steps at the side of the stage, I went back to my rig and pulled a package out of my kit.

I meet Stanley at centre stage and gave him the package. It was a tambourine that I had painted and put sparkles on. He was gassed! We played a stretched version of Savoy Brown's "Louisiana Blues", while Stanley went nuts with his new tambourine.

He was raving about our band all over town for weeks!

Good story!

That friggin' hmm, always throws me off. It's like, ut oh, she doesn't agree with him. Then you're like

What's that a euphemism for? :p

I hope thats a rhetorical question.

We don't hassle each other over our sigs, so don't get on a member's case about how they start their posts, unless it's outright uncivil.

That "hmm" seems to have drawn some attention the posts, so I'd say it's pretty effective.

Who's got some tales of strange things happening at gigs? I've only seen two stories so far, and one of them was my own.

Anybody?...

heh, my band once told me two and a half minutes before a show that I was going to rap "Ice Ice Baby." haha, THAT was a hilarious and fun day, I'll tell you that much.

this isn't much of a story, but I'll tell it anyway. I was at a club watching my friends band play when he(the rythm guitarist) motioned me to him. when I got there he told me I was going to play sweet child of mine. that had freaked me out enought as it was, because I had never played on a stage infront of anybody. anyway, I get the nerve up and we start the song off and everything's going great and then the singer came over to me and told me I was going to take the first little solo (the simple one after the chorus). Normally I would have been fine with that because it's extremely easy, but it cought me off guard and I was about to shyt a brick. well, when the time comes I worried myself into forgetting about it and didn't realize it until the lead guitarist was at the end of it. the singer just looked at me and laughed. well he proceeds to do it again after the second chorus, and I was actually looking forward to that one, but I'm used to playing the main riff and instead I was playing the backing rythm part and it through me off. so needless to say I didn't play that one either. I felt bad after the song until he let me know he was just messin with me and the lead guitarist didn't know anything about it, so it would have sounded funny if I actually had played them. I wanted to kill him for making me so damn nervous. It was fun though.

After a while, you notice that the singers are the ones who are most likely to mess around with you. It's because their part is so easy! LOL :)

The singers part is very important though. The average joe is going to be paying more attention to the singer's voice than the rest of the band averagely.
