| | | | I honestly think the worst part was trying to play it off. There is no way to look cool when you have to glue your bass back togather. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2009 Location: Vancouver, BC, Canada | | I did something like this, but it was throwing it behind me the opposite way... except in my case the strap snapped in half from the force...
... in which case mine flew about 15-20 feet behind me on the stage.
Duct tape saved the rest of the set, and only a couple scuffs!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Louth UK | | | every time I see that video I get a big smile on my face, its the point where he realises he's made a fool of himself, and just turns around and walks away, ...I'm assuming he's gone to get his bass, but it's possible he's just gone home... (Taxi for the bassist)
not seen the Atreyu vid before, but you get the same thing, he tries to play it off for a minute, then you can actually see him realise what he's done, his shoulders drop, and he sets of to retrieve his bass, classic! |

|  | Supporting Member | | | | maybe throwing basses over your shoulder is like throwing salt- you just have to hope for more good luck for the guys behind you on stage 
Nothing like a ten pound 34 inch missle launched backwards.
That vid is an instant classic
