I didn't mean any disrespect to your country, it's just here in South Australia you'd need a permit for a permit to even think about using explosives in a stage show. (You can't buy fireworks here at all any more.) And even then you would probably have had to do a three month Occupational Health and Safety course! (Maybe you've done all that).I once gave up trying to build a shed in my backyard because of all the paperwork and bureaucracy required. I got the kids a swimming pool instead and now I need a permit to fill it up! |

say you are about to play the "brown note," which makes not crapping yourself impossible. play the note, then have people run up on stage with sh*tbrown paint on the bottom of thier jeans acting like they crapped themselves. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Burlington, NC | | | Thanks to everyone for your ideas. We actually got to use some of your suggestions. We blew up pumpkins, we had a guy breath fire and there were plenty of scantily clad ladies dancing on stage. There was also some unexpected antics, like our vocalist breaking his mic about 1 min into the first song! We found him a back up mic before we finished the song though so it was ok. The only real problem was that we couldn't play on the stage that originally we had set up. Unfortunately the weather didn't play along yesterday and Murphy's law was in full swing because as soon as we got everything set up on stage it started raining. I swear we didn't have a drop all day but the second every last piece of equipment was on stage it started raining like there was a hurricane. Fortunately every one pitched in and got every thing out of the rain quickly and we set up and played under a shelter that was there. So things didn't go as planed but everyone involved had a lot of fun and the guy throwing the party was very happy so I guess it was a success in the end.
Once again thanks for your suggestions, you guys helped me and my band put on a very entertaining show. But you know what, I like this thread. I think its funny. So what say we keep it going? Lets see what else we can come up with.
