Big Accident and New Leads for me!

Sign in to disble this ad
My band plays a lot of Slipknot, and we were in the middle of the song 'Iowa', which starts with me playing the bass with just a bit of drums in the background. I was off in my own world (never do this! lol), imagining the scene that goes with this song, and as the singer started the growl, our guitarist's string broke, I freaked and jumped, pulling out my lead and jumping into the drums which caused the hi hats to come crashing down and the singer just turned and looked at us like "wt*?" and there was us three with a broken bass lead, broken guitar string and broken hi hats. the singer just said "well, that was going to be our last song but looks like it was cut short." then thanked people for coming. Then she had a go at us. Now we stand further apart.

Hmmmm...a female singer pulling Slipknot?

There's something you don't see everyday.

How right you are. And since we haven't actually seen it...

In my college days I was playing a gig. It was going so well I decided to jump up on my Peavey basic 50 and show off! The Peavey fell backwords and I fell right into the drums. Luckily someone was video taping, otherwise that event may have been forgotten.

Do a youtube search of performers falling, hours of entertainment!

Once during a show I swung my bass around, the headstock caught a cymbal stand bringing it across the stage and resulting in my face being struck by a cymbal.
