gig rip offs?

[4StringedFreak]

just woundering..anyone ever get pissed at another band at a battle of a bands cuz they did "your thing"?
we were in one last weekend..and i love to just to go nuts on stage, and one of things i usally do is i run across the stage, and jump onto the drums and rock out while standing on them(a couple times ive come colse to falling into the drummer, but it hasnt happened yet) but anyways, it was a few bands after us, the bass player walks over to the drum set, and steps up onto the bass drum, stands there for a bit, and steps down! im just sitting there with a ****ing ing at the guy! liek come on, he wasnt even rocking out, he just steps up, and steps down! gah..im still pissed..
anyone got any simular storys?

[Yngwie 4String]

Yeah because that idea is so original that your the only guy to ever think of it.

[Dave Muscato]

I think it's really funny that the two people who have posted in this thread about original stage moves both joined in May 2007, and their names are "4StringedFreak" and "4StringFury."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

[olaff421]

One of thier real names is Tyler Durden... But you don't talk about him.

[Stanley Design]

Whatever you do, it's been done. Unless you're the bassist from Cinderella you have nothing to complain about. (He invented the b**** toss)

[guy n. cognito]

Your "thing" has been done to death. You didn't create it; not even close.

Had the guy surrounded himself by potted petunias, put his pants on his head, and cracked a whip between songs...and that was your shtick...you'd have a case.

Hey! That's my shtick.... don't you be taking it! I feel it adds a touch of class to weddings. Sometimes I even add a few white roses to the petunias, just to add a touch of romance.

My name is Zach Strickland, but they just call me Stricky. Since the other guys name came up.

Anyway Ive tried to do original stuff for a long time, and then I go watch Alice Cooper Concerts, and he has done friggin everything. It is impossible to come up with things alice hasnt done.

Don't you dare tell him about the petunias!

[Yngwie 4String]

Alice used roses, but hes done it. He did during the song Roses on White Lace.

Like our guitar player was gonna set his Strat on fire and
everything but some chick told us that her dad told her
that Jimi Hendrix did it like 40 years ago. Our guitar player
got so pissed when he heard that.

Ain't a whole lot new under the sun these days folks.

Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.



Obviously nothing original, but I've seen it where a guy will watch my show, then I see him do something I did a few weeks later, but really, that's how music is: Some guy plays a really cool lick? Steal it, make it your own. I'm not saying we need 20 or 30 renditions of Fire, but the same principle with stage presence applies to music: accumulation and assimilation.

You stand on his drums? Must be a mellow dude, any other drummer I've ever met would slaughter you for that. Literally. You would die.

Yeah, I would not want to piss off my drummer while showing him my back. Especailly with my but at an easily reachable level while he is holding those drum sticks

This made me laugh.

The drummer spends as much or more on gear than anyone else in the band. I don't understand idiots that jump on/into a drumset (or the idiots that let them.) No respect.
