We did have the idea once........

of filling the stage with dry ice / stage smoke.

Then the band appear out of the fog...









........wearing GAS MASKS!!

I spent all day practicing that in my back yard. I had it down! then I went and tried it at a gig only to have my headstock hit the back of my leg. it hurt like hell, so be careful. I guess the craziest thing I ever did was singling out a group of frat boys in the front by the stage. I said some really offensive things that had the rest of the audience dying with laughter, the frat boys not so much. they told my guitarist that they would be waiting outside for us as we left. im glad that bar had a back door and an owner that would let us pick up our equipment the next day. that was a good gig.

Our Breakdowns are incredibly slow, and we dont take the whole thing seriously. More than once *while I was in the moment* I have pulled my fly down at the start of a breakdown then back up at the end.

We have also done things like take off our jumpers off in the breakdown; now THATS a challenge. We also have muck around fights, like go to "powerstance" next to the guitard, but accually kick the back of his knee, or knee his thigh, or push him accross the stage; and I get it all back.

We had a plan where we would have a model of stonehenge descend from the ceiling and then a couple of druids would dance around it. That didn't work out so well.

I have yet to successfully get a girl's number in the audience while still playing whatever song we're playing. That is my goal.

Oh I got a new one... so I've done some jams for parents with the band (gigs LOL)

Turn the guitarists amp down after he turned up so you couldn't hear me for the song

I'll one-up your straplocks. My J has eyelets in the place of buttons, and I attach the strap with a carabeener. No way that's even coming out.
