Well, it finally happened...

Hopefully at least you were bound and blocked?
I have heard of Fly Girls in the past - but Fly Boys?
Really angling for that "frontman" job, huh! 
Lucky you weren't playing one of those Gene Simmons Battle Axe basses!

This is why I wear a canvas kilt on stage, no fly to worry about.
Having said that, my singer once started a set with his fly open, someone in the audience noticed, pointed it out to him.
Over the mic he says "I know bro, that's Calgary style" (we hail from Calgary) and not only played the rest of the set with his fly open, he worked the merch table the rest of the night with it open. I can't be sure, but the next couple times we went to Edmonton, I'm sure a bunch of guys in the audience unzipped before our set.
Sorry, it's less can't be sure, than don't ever want to know for sure...

I hope you weren't playing a song by Whitesnake.

Comon .. fess up .. "You wanted that fly open, you needed that fly open".... < Colonel Jessup, A few Good Men>
Approximately 1988. I'm in the front row for the Scorpions at the Rochester, NY War Memorial Auditorium. It's the 80s, so leather pants & big hair. Rudolf Schenker is right in front of me for the whole first set, until the drum solo, with his fly wide open.
Happens to the best of 'em!

At my age this is completely acceptable . . . as a mater of fact, I'm damn proud of it! Not everyone can get away with this. No more "Hold my beer and watch this" . . . Just leave my fly open. "Dude, all those women are looking at you" . . . . . yea.
Women be like "Isn't he the cutest thing!"
