Last Saturday we were playing in a pub in London and this fellow comes up and asks if he can sing a song. Well, we hardly ever allow anyone to do this because not everyone can sing with midi tracks. They are not like karaoke where you can see the words. But this lad was so nice we decided OK. And guess what the guy was just brilliant, put the lot of us to shame  Another time, in London again, a stripper turns up and steels the show  Bitch! I was just wondering if anything like this happened to you fellow giggers out there. |

Great stories there Sarah. I gig to and have seen some funny things. One time we had a black out in this pub and everybody started to panic. It was hilarious. ;D ;D

I remember playing on a stage that collapsed. Our then drummer got the worst of it when all his gear fell on top of him ;D ;D

There have been the odd moment like those mentioned above in our earlier gigs, especially when we were playing in the rougher parts of Glasgow. ;D ;D In our later ones nothing really too interesting happened. Except for this one time when our limo broke down on the way back to our hotel, we were returning there from a gig. It was one of those, long, white blacked out things and looked really flashy. Anyway there we were broken down in of all places Princes Street in Edinburgh at about 3 am. Soon enough we found ourselves surrounded by a group of late night revelers, who looked remarkably like the cast from one of the latest zombie movie at the time. They were all trying to see in through the blacked out windows to get a peek to see who we were. It was actually a very frightening experience. Eventually the tow-truck arrived and we had to get out. The "zombies" seemed really disappointed when they when they saw who we were. ;D ;D ;D |

About Ten year ago I was playing in a bit of a dive in Manchester centre when this woman got up to dance. She was about 60yrs old and blind drunk. She stood right in front of me whilst I was in the middle of a song and took her top off (not realizing that she had NO BRA on.) I can tell you it was quite a site to see a pair of droopy wrinklies. I managed to contain myself from laughing and just carried on. It was only when the song ended that she realized what she'd done and quickly picked her top up and ran to the women's toilet. Once she came out she made a sharp exit never to be seen again!!! (Do you think she was embarrassed!!!) ;D ;D ;D

Back in the early 80's when we were doing our own stuff & looking for our first deal, we would play anywhere. The crowds in the North East have always been a little difficult to impress, to say the least, but one night we were in Sunderlands East End, playing our hearts out to the local chapter of Hells Angels (as you do), sweating and practically bleeding from the effort we put into our guitar playing. At the end of our best number, a blinding guitar driven track with twin speedy solo's at the end, we finished to the obligitary drum roll, and jump in the air last twang, only to be greeted by a deathly silence, until someone kindly asked - "Oi f**kwit - can yer not play some fookin Zep?"..... Heathens.   |
