Grabbed my ass!!!

Wait to you play a bar where the women over 40 hang out, your butt isn't the only thing they grab. I don't wear my wedding ring when I play, but I use a huge safety pin and pin it in plain view on my comfort strapp, but that doesn't matter. I have had women ask, well is your wife here, if not she must not care what happens to you, lol.

On another note, I can't say I have ever had a dude grab my butt and I have played at alternative lifestyle bars.
 
I read the OP and immediately thought of this movie scene:

What was that pit bull thinking?
 
We have had women flash us, usually during outdoor gigs at "Bike Week" in Laconia, NH, Myrtle Beach, SC and Daytona, Fl.

About 30 years ago, my band was playing a New Year's gig and a very popular club that held about 500 people. Tickets were sold in advance at $8 each which was a lot of money considering Aerosmith was playing a few miles away and it was $11.50 to see them. Anyway, the club provided party favors, noise makers, champagne and a Hawaiian type of Lei to each customer. When the clock hit midnight, three women came up to the stage. They approached the guitarist, lead single and I and asked us to bend down and motioned that they were going to put the lei around our neck. As I bent down the woman placing the lei around my neck said, "play your cards right and this won't be the only (rhymes with lei) you'll get tonight". I ended up getting home at 11AM the following morning.
 
I would have swung my bass around and clocked him in the head.
That seems a little harsh. I didn't want to be touched by this guy but he wasn't aggressive. If i felt threatened at all it would've been a different story but i think overall it was an amusing experience and a good time. A story i can now tell forever. Also, i love reading all of the other posters' stories. Funny Stuff!

What a story... $11.50 to see Aerosmith??
 
I've been gigging for a year now. Havent had my ass grabbed yet-(our rhythm player did though), but a few weeks ago we were playing in Da Bronx and this drunk college age girl (I"m 51 BTW-old enough to be her dad) leans in to me and asks if she can play the bass (while we're playing). She catches me off guard and leans WAY in and pins my right hand to the bass with her boobs while she's trying to hit the strings!!!

And just last Friday our drummer got flashed. A couple days later I was at the liquor store thats next to the bar where the flashing incident happened. The door to the bar was open and as I was walking back to my car, I hear a loud raspy female voice saying to somebody in the bar "Did you see my nipples Friday night??" I almost fell over laughing in the parking lot.
