I haven't had any really bad experiences... the most recent gig I did had a few funny ones though. For a start I managed to drop my plectrum while just playing some easy powerchord riff. I just look down on the floor at the plectrum in shock thinking "how the f**k did I drop that?". A drummer at the same gig also fell off the stage when he was coming off. To top it all off a bassist plugged into my flextone 3...... luckily it still works fine, I was pretty pissed off though, suprised he didn't blow it.

Oh, and if anyone has heard "Dazed and confused" by Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page does a guitar solo with a violin bow.... another guy at the gig who was playing that song managed to keep the solo going for 30 minutes. :eek:

It was good until it got past about 6 minutes, then the audience just wanted him to get the hell off. The band were supposed to wait for a signal to come back on stage and play the rest of the song, in the end they just came back on and forced him to finish the solo. :D
