We were in the middle of a set in a club where the stage was right by the front door. We're jamming when my lead guitarist suddenly stops playing. I look over just in time to see him leap over the railing and run out the front door. Some guy had grabbed his spare guitar and made a run for it. Dumb a** didn't get very far before he dropped it. Fortunately it was in the case, no harm done. |

He let the guy go. He was just happy to get his axe back. I think he may have even finished the song. I guess the thief wanted to learn to play steal guitar. |

You dont steal my basses. The last crackhead who tryed is probably still in a wheelchair. Because portland is so bad I chain my gear down in my truck. And I went back in to get my amp and come back to see my window broken and a guy who looks really strung out on something trying to pull my hard case which is chained down out the window. I walk up he doesnt notice me and keeps trying to get it out. I set down my amp and grab a tire iron thats near the spare tire. He noticed after I had the tire iron that it was my bass he was trying to steal. He ran and I was right behind him. I swung the tire iron at his knees. He fell down I called the cops and they took him away. Cool think was the fact that he had a warrant out for his arrest. And the reward money payed for some cool new effects,and insurance payed for my new window |
