This had to be pretty freakin funny - unless you are in the band or paid big $$ for a ticket. Hopefully there will be a video out there somewhere.

I guess Kings of Leon aren't very "hardcore" are they?

They have a recurring problem at this venue too? Just shove some damn spikes up, that stops pigeons landing. It's not like it's an expensive thing either. I'm not a fan of the band, but no fellow musicians really deserves to be crapped on for an hour or so.

I like pigeons now, too, because we seem to hate the same types of music.

I am going to have to agree--if people here on talkbass would enjoy being pooped on for an hour, they've got some issues. I am surprised that the venue didn't do anything about it. This reminds me of when Nickelback got rocks thrown at them and everyone made fun of them for that--people can be vicious!

Same here, but I'd try to make sure people got refunds. Did they?

I would have fired up the pyro. Nickelback would have roasted those birds good

Ozzie would have eaten that bird and the show would have gone one.
