The part where the lead singer swung his arm back and hit the bassist is kind of backwards from something that happened to me at one gig. I swung the headstock of my bass backwards and would have knocked my lead singer's teeth out if he hadn't been holding the mic in front of his face. I ended up just hitting his hand almost hard enough for it to bleed. There was an imprint of four Fender open gear tuners on his hand for an hour.

Oh man that video was hilarious. Just what I needed. Even though I sound like Lenny from "Of Mice and Men" when I laugh.

I played a gig this past friday and decided I was gonna jump and do a 360 in the air. Well I jumped and all went well until I landed; my chord got wrapped around my foot and when I went to land the cable got caught on my cab and I fell on my ass. Not the first time I've jumped and fell. In my old my band I jumped off stage a few times, when I landed my body kept going forward and I fell. Good times though.

Basically, for Wireless, you just take a short amp cord, plug it into your wireless transmitter, and attach the transmitter to the back of your strap so its on your back. I just tape mine with some electrical tape and it holds up fine.

LOL, I did that to a drummer in band I was in one time. Tiny stage, , low symbols, we're all crunched together, I turn around. *WHACK!!* song stops, drummer clutches forehead, rest of the band laughing, me ready for the inevitable fisticuffs.. luckily he was drunk enough to start playing again in about 30 seconds. The drinking prowess of drummers is truly astounding.

our drummer often breaks the tips off of his Sticks and they usually hit our keyboardist in the face...

Both of my drummers use rods and I am getting stick debris flying everywhere all night long. I should start wearing a helmut with all the stick wood flying around.

sorry for loss of sense of humour...maybe it's an english thing.
