I have never had the hiccups but I have needed to sneeze a few times. I just look round like I am checking the back of my amp and hope I dont spew phlem all over my sh**.

An itchy nose is so much worse though as its not as easy to get rid of.

Occasionally I sneeze. I heard a story from a friend. He once had stagefright and partway through the first song, he threw up on the singer's leg. Does that count?

sneeze, fart, hiccup, cough

Sometimes it's good that no one notices the bass player.

Oh yeah and you can't do anything to stop it or risk not playing. Makes for some interesting cases of bass face. Imagine yourself doing the face contortions trying to keep from sneezing during the middle of a slow, and very emotional praise and worship song. Yeah, I saw a few people snicker but thank goodness that most of the audience had their eyes closed.

Hiccups aren't bad, farts are alot of fun (If used right, and IF they are yours), and coughs are just accepted.

i have burps/sneezes all the time playing trumpet. just a fact of life. In the middle of a long passage, and suddenly a burp wants to come up, and suddenly your pitch drops about a 1/2 step. no fun.

or the big sneeze/cough you suppress right before you play, and it just kills.

I don't have a problem with sneezing but sometimes I forget to swallow correctly (concentrating on my playing I guess) and then I have a coughing fit while I'm trying to stay with the groove--not an easy task!

I messed up 2 tracks on our upcoming CD because of multiple sneeze attacks.

Actually, anyone barfing on a singer should get a bonus for that gig.
