Myung tackle

Sign in to disble this ad
Dream Theater fan here. so, i read that at one show John Myung was bet some money to tackle James LaBrie, and just out of pure curiosity, and cuz i just think thatd be friggin hilarious to see, i've been trying to find a video of this, but to no success. anyone know where this can be found or if they have it?

and just out of curiosity, anyone ever tackled or otherwise attacked a bandmate during a show? or just done somthing that they werent aware of? example, one show my band was playing, when my front man wasn't facing me, i came up behind him with my bass at my crotch poking in his general direction, course once he realised what i was doing he purposefully bent over, actually turned out to be a real crowd pleaser haha! anyone got anything?

-Jake Shrine of the Silver Monkey myspace.com/silvermonkeymusic (go ahead, rip into my awful tone and playing haha)

once during a slow breakdown clean part of one of our songs, our bassist laid down with his back against one of the front monitors, facing away from the crowd, and our singer didn't see him so he stepped right on him.
On pure reflex, our bassist, still lying down with singer on top, kicked him pretty hard unfortunately, I never saw it, I looked out on the audience

Portnoy seemed to think it was funny... must've been his idea.

When I went to see An Evening with Dream Theater it's Portnoy that tackled Myung, mid-set.

I the last band I was in, we had one song that had an extended guitar solo in it. Our singer used to get on his knees in front of our lead guitarist, and pretend to perform a sexual act while he was soloing. The guitarist used to respond by pulling appropriate faces...
