A guitarist made a fancy rock move on stage and busted our female lead singer in the mouth with his headstock. She bled like a stuck pig and took a few stitches.

OH, to be capable of pulling THAT off on command.

Edit: Work on your spelling or suffer the woes of the TB spelling Nazi Party.

Hahahaha. Sorry, I can't help but laugh at that story. Did you stand over him and yell "you got knocked the **** out!"?

Meaning there's little-to-no spelling correction going on here? I want some of what you're smoking.

One band I played in the female singer had a bad habit of getting in my line of movement. At least 6 hard hits to the head in 4 months.

Coherence of paragraph structure appeases most TB English Nazis.

Luv, English Nazi Downunder.

Although a Brit misspelling "British" did get a rise out of me of late.

My fiancé is the guitarist in both the bands I'm in. I sing lead. We're both visually impaired (him totally blind and me not far off.) When we first started it caused a few issues, but I avoided serious injury. Now he stays still and I stick to the mic stand !

Haven't knocked any one out....yet. We play in a pretty tight band pit at church and both guitarist have some major pedal boards that forces mee to kinda stand behind them. I constantly warn them to not more back and forth and just stand directly in front of their boards but do they listen..............pow, right upside the head. They have since learned. It was even worse when I had a Conklin GT7, huge headstock, and painful.

Yup, been there and done that about 20 years back-almost decapitated a guitard with a BC Rich Warlock headstock to the neck/shoulder area. True story-I ran into the same dude about a month or so back (at the guitar store) and he was quite pleased to see that I was buying a nice, round Precision

Sounds like your guitar player has a glass chin.

I did that once and my first reaction as he was lying prone was to shout, "hey you scratched my bass!!!!"
