It's a long story : violence content

Time to sit down, crack a cold one, put your feet up and slip in 'Roadhouse' on the old video displaying device. Worth it just to see Jeff Healy play. And note to bassplaying self....never swing your bass in defence of your stage....always use the butt end directly to the face of any onrushing idiot. That way you won't tweak the neck too bad, and with any luck you'll still be in tune for the next set.

I always felt it's best to grab the nearest mic stand, flip it over and try to make contact with the base. Worse case scenario is that it's cheaper to replace the mic and stand.

im in Queensland Australia FWIW.

Hey hey!

I think this is a +1 on the bad ass-ness of australia.

 

[Gus Borden]

Still sounds like too much trouble for a cover band!

 

[MatticusMania]

Listen: if a guy like me thinks you have too much drama in your band, that means a lot...

LMAO! You make a strong point!

I've known my share of shady people and all I can say is , in no uncertain terms, distance yourself as soon as possible. Seriously.

 

[pltnny]

This story shows why having a strong, sturdy late 70s Fener P in your arsenal is a good thing- it seconds as a weapon if need be- and will stay in tune...

If you need some heavy artillery get yourself a Peavey T-40. Absolute warclub and it can stop bullets too!

 

[magickbass]

This is arguably one of the most badass stories I've ever read.

[rmkesler]

I've seen plenty of fights from the stage but can't say that the band ever had to get involved. That's nuts!

Not to glorify your shady POS of a guitar player, but change the story to one of self defense, and that's a pretty great story for why there's a tooth lodged in your guitar. Hopefully noface deserved it.

For the first time I see a good reason not to bring a backup bass....the potential of some thug grabbing it to try to kick my ass!
