She made an appearance at last nights gig. I`m sure some of you know her...drunk off her ass and screaming requests, insults, and various gibberish for a solid hour. During a break, she comes up to our table and asks to see a song list, she picks two songs (that we had played in the last set...lol) so I say, sure, we`ll play em for you next set. That seemed to appease her, and she spent the rest of the evening falling down on the dance floor. Anyone got any stories about encounters with this person or any of her relatives?  |

Two incredibly drunk Red Sox fans (brothers of the "You Suck" lady) immediately appropriated a mic and began a rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." Our sound tech graciously let them finish before blasting them with some very vile feedback from the monitors. You should have seen them jump!

Once she came with her boyfriend, and she insisted on getting on stage and singing some Led Zepplin songs. The only reason we didn't mind is 'cause her boyfriend was drunk too, and he kept loading the tip jar with hundred dollar bills, so all's well that end's well. 
The other time she pushed me backwards over a floor monitor, and I ended up playing the rest of Highway Star flat on my back. No tips that time, but lots of pats on the back.

There's her husband/boyfriend who can't seem to decide whether he should try to quiet her down or pick a fight with anyone who doesn't see things her way. There's her brother, who doesn't drink quite as much, but who isn't going to stop coming up to the bandstand to make requests until he can think of at least one song that you can play. There's her cousin who wants to talk about your gear, who obviously last visited a music store in 1984. Then there's the uncle, who is older and mostly harmless, but patently insane. You can tell he's related by the fact that he won't leave you alone, either. If he does leave you alone, he will still manage to scare 90% of the women off the dance floor.
What a family!

They were drunk before our first set; I was sitting at a table looking over our song list, they both insisted on leaning all over me with their whiskey breath. I wouldn't have minded so much if they were hot young babes, but these were a couple of the fattest, ugliest, most obnoxious
trolls I'd ever seen. I was nauseated. They kept yelling stupid requests for songs at us, I had to turn my amp at an angle, and move closer to the middle of the stage so I wouldn't have to look at them.

Who started heckling the first band, then proceeded to constantly yell out things like "bring on the next band, I wanna hear Troll play" (quote is correct Then left after the first song... Being under house arrest for DUI's and all...
And you wonder why he's an 'ex' drummer...

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2001 Location: Milwaukee | | | I think we have all had her and her family at our gigs before.
This past Friday I had her scary biker sister at my gig.
We are in the middle of our set, I look up and see this ummm, "woman" standing right in front of me. She is at least 6' tall and weights well over 200 lbs. She has the leather vest zippered very low to show her cleavage, and of course, her stomach is very prominently protruding out between her vest and pants. Lots of tatoos. She is staring at me, making I guess what would be considered come on faces at me, and is dancing to our music. I dont care all that much, she likes the music, thats cool.
Well, after the set I am dying of thirst, I go up to bar to get a beer, low and behold, she is one the bartenders. I ask for the beer, she then proceeds to reach across the bar and stroke my beard and tells me to smile! I quickly got my beer, excused myself, then went and packed up the gear and got out without looking back. She was a scary woman. |

She kept on stepping on the tiny stage, and she stepped on the lead guitarist's cable, which unplugged him causing a loud buzz to come out of his amp right in the middle of a song.
Her husband (well, I figured he was her husband, although I have a hard time imagining anyone tolerating such an annoying person 24 hours a day) had to drag her down from the stage two or three times. Then she went to sleep and the gig went well from then on.
P.S.: If my own wedding was being ruined by some drunken idiot, I think I'd kill!!!

Yeah, they always want to come up to the singer while he's singing to make a request.It's like, excuse me, I'm a little busy here, could you please ask the guitar player over there who's watching televison instead of me.What do you expect from a hog, but a grunt.That's what I was told anyway. |

|  | put a bird on it | | Join Date: Dec 2000 Location: Minnesota | | well, as mitch hedberg always says, "you can't please all the people all the time, and and last night, all those people were at my show!"
my band has done that as well. we are kind of a blues/metal/rock/alt/jam band all mixed into one, and we played a punk rock festival. yikes...apparently it was the "you suck" lady and a whole family reunion, because these were kids with the pink hair and the leather jackets and they all have the t-shirts that either say "nintendo" or "you laugh at me because i'm different, but i laugh at you because you're all the same" on. here is a small representation of our part of the show: <-thats me and my guitarist   
and that was the crowd...there isn't an icon for drummer, so i left him out.
well, at least we still got paid!
