what is the weirdest thing you've ever seen with your band?

Sign in to disble this ad
as the post suggests were after strange stuff you've seen while with your band
it doesnt have to be something see from onstage it can be something seen too or from a gig, something weird in the practice room, something in a hotel etc etc it can bee something silly, something rude, something scary etc etc as long as you can tie it to your band it counts as a win

I was on the way to 1 of my 1st paying gigs and saw a dude crossing the street (illegally) get hit full on by a 4wd pickup! Smacked so hard he flew 20 feet to land face down in a puddle!
Others were immediatley on scene so we looked @ each other! Shrugged! The show must go on! Off we went!

I was drunk after rehersal once and my drummer had a party going (this is typical for us). I went to the bathroom them came out butt naked, tucked, arms spread, and proceeded to ask everyone in the room "would you f*** me? I'd f*** me"... since then they stopped serving me alcohol.

Many years ago while subbing in with an AC/DC tribute touring Canada, playing this bar in Winnipeg called The Zoo, there was this old homeless guy one night thoroughly wasted and thoroughly digging the band. Anyhow, so the Angus guy does the full solo / striptease shtick that Angus does including the mooning the crowd bit at the end. Well this apparently inspires the old dude who decides to do a striptease of his own. So now there's this skinny, old homeless septuagenarian guy running around the club naked, waving his privates at anybody and everybody who will look and these huge bouncers all afraid to lay a hand him because he's filthy and smells like whiskey and feet. This went on for like twenty minutes or so before they were able to basically coral him by forming sort of a human fence and herding him towards the door. Now there's a sight I will not soon forget. Laughed my f**king ass off for days.

I once played a place that owned a "Gentleman's Club" across the street. I still remember our sound engineer taking our singer's wireless mic over there on set break and talking through the PA about what was happening over there.

Anyways, during our last set, the girls came over after they got off their shift. One of them had only one arm. Yep, they had a one-armed stripper.

I can totally picture that scenario happening (not that I want to picture it).

i played in a street punk band at the opening of a skate park. 3 songs in, a little kid bailed on the halfpipe and broke his arm. the skatepark closed as the ambulance was pulling up, and never opened again...apparently, the kids parents sued and got the place shut down permanently.

Hi.

The wedding couples mid 60's parents on a patio pool, next to the "stage", wearing only T-shirts.

Not a sight You'll see at every gig, nor do I care to . Our, back then underage, guitarist missed a couple of notes watching that.

Another, almost as good, was this drunk (obviously) guy who jumped into air and landed on his back on a concrete floor. On purpose no less.

Or a really wasted big titted (no bra) prettyish gal who tried to do cartwheels on the empty dance-floor. Landed on her head or butt every single time. Didn't slow her down at all though.

SUCKS to be bandless ATM.

Regards
Sam

The bouncer at a bar we still play at frequently found my singer and some random bar skank in a broom closet in flagrante delicto when he was late coming back from a break. The singers girlfriend was sitting around the corner, maybe 15 or 20 feet away from the aforementioned closet, and I don't think she knows about the incident to this very day.

mostly nakedness, packing up at a college frat house gig, one of the brothers stumbles out of his room, stark naked, and casually tried to start conversations with us all, occassionally grabbing his junk and then trying to do the "bro tap" with us.

Cloggers dance troupe opened for us at a Xmas party. Things were going okay until they stuck the junior members (5-7 years of age) wearing tap-type shoes on the hardwood floor. Apparently, somebody forgot to calculate the friction coefficient necessary to keep these youngsters upright. It was like the Ice Capades....only without the ice.
