We were playing a smaller gig the weekend before last and having a great time. All was going well and we were about 2 songs into the second set when all of a sudden this stench from he!! wafts across the stage. It was overpowering and the guitarist next to me was trying his best to keep his lunch down. We were looking at each other with accusing eyes wondering who made butt brownies in their pants. The problem was, it smelled worse than any crap I ever smelled in my life, skunk ape maybe? I don't know.

Between songs we are trying to ask each other who did it but didn't have much time to really do an investigation as we had to start another song and try not to pass out from the overwhelming stench from beyond. Finally after the second set is over and we are all green and ready to pass out from lack of oxygen (no one wanted to breath unless they really had to) We all met up outside for some fresh air when the lead guitarist tells us where the vile, putrid swamp a$$ smell came from. Ready for this?

It turns out the one girls bathroom was just to the other side of his rig. Some "young lady" dropped nuclear holocaust in the womans bathroom, even the roaches were dead and the twinkies molding. I'm 49 years old and have smelled many, many bad things but never in my life did any of that prepare me for what some young lady did that night. I just wonder who she went home with and if I'll find them in the obituaries.

LOL! Too funny.

Not to derail to much but, one gig we did earlier this year was in a smaller club and since we are a 6 piece, I got stuck almost right in the doorway to the hall leading to the womans bathroom. So anytime a woman had to go, I pretty much had to move out her way.

Well, over our loud music I could hear someone furiously flushing the toilet several times. I was like ***? I got distracted so I didnt notice the guilty party coming out but, next thing I know there is the owner with a plunger in one hand and a bucket in the other heading my way. Needless to say there was some sort of plumbatory issue going on in there that required the assistance of several employees, and, each time I had to move out the way.

People were starting to laugh because everyone watching us knew something was up and just seeing me dodging plungers and buckets was a sight to see. After some time the owner came out, looking like he just saved Private Ryan, and put an Out Of Order sign on the door.

I hate having to go #2 at a bar (or at any other public bathroom)....I do everything I can to work one out before I leave for a gig to avoid that situation at much as possible...bar bathrooms are just nasty.

I feel bad for this poor young lady with rotting intestines....

Same here.

We used to play a place out in the sticks that had a very old septic system. By about 10:30 on a Saturday night the toilets in the mens room would flush up. :eek:

That place burned to the ground the night after we pulled our stuff out.

Not music related, but I used to work at an indoor paintball field, so it was already pretty stinky in there. One of the younger female employees (short, skinny, good looking) went to the bathroom, which is about 40 feet from the front counter, and a few minutes after she got back the smell followed. I could not believe how intensely concentrated it was!!!! It smelled like she **** her pants right beside me.

Interesting, the girl that stunk up the bathroom at our gig was slim and very nice looking. I'd go as far as to say she was probably the hottest girl in the bar and there were quite a few runner-ups. Do pretty girls make bathrooms smell worse than average looking girls? :hiding:

I kinda think it was the 100 year old wiring. We went back on Monday afternoon to tear down, and by tuesday morning that place was a smoking crater. I've always wondered if we wiggled something the wrong way when we unplugged it.......

In the end, I'm just glad we got our stuff out mere hours before the place went up.

Its a combo of pooh and feminine hygeine products. Or 'the death smell' as I refer to it, though only in this one instance.
