i don't know what the dumbest thing i did was...i've done a lot of dumb things. But i would hate to have any local clubs floor's examined by professionals...i wouldn't want to see what is on them. lot of bands have spitters, snot rockets, and barf...ewww just think about what's on there...

Just for that I'm gonna paddle your little bottom.

I've had a couple nosebleeds onstage, but I remember one that was like a full-on facial hemorrhage. People thought it was a Gene Simmons thing.
I remember backing up too far and falling on my ass on the drum riser once or twice. I've been smacked in the face with a Gibson Explorer bass headstock, a Fender P-Bass headstock, and in the back of the head a number of times by cymbal stands falling over (yeah, YOU, Mark).

At a biker party at Clearfield Cycle Club, Hogback, a pissy biker thought I was looking at his ol' lady's snoobs (I was, she was 17 and smokin' hot), and picked me up off the stage and carried me to the bonfire. I was so scared I nearly peed down his back, I thought I was going to be burned beyond recognition. I beat him like a dog, and he kept going... it took 4 other bikers to knock him down. I swear he was on something. Scary.----->JMS

WHO are you calling OLD??? I'm 2 1/2 years older than you are, so WATCH IT or I'll get Mrs. Hurricane to help me beat you up!

It's just a number. Don't pay any attention to the younger ones busting on you! Ah yes, you may say you don't remember, but the question is, does the big guy remember, let alone the great time he had LOL?

...AND does JP know where that Kazoo was before it was given to him?

there were times in previous bands where i would get too drunk to remember the song and just have to wing it. but my dumbest would have been eating a nuclear hell wing from B-29 right before a show. I spent the whole night chugging water and shitting my brains out in between sets.

One time our lead guitarist brought his ex-girlfriend to a show we were playing at the Hill Valley Hotel, trying to impress her and win her back.
She passed out at the table during the second set, and our soundguy, (who didn't know who she was), drew a big mustache on her with a black sharpie and put big red freckles on her cheeks using the end of his pinky and the doorman's ink stamp pad.
She woke up, went to the lady's room, and came out screaming. He dropped his guitar and jumped off of stage right before his solo. I jumped in, did the solo and all was well, except for her face, that is.

I remember going to a show to see one of Bobby Hurricane's first bands, "Forced Entry" at the Frankstown Sportsman's Club in '85. They used a cheesy homemade lighting system that someone tied in with the guitar amps, and it ended up putting 120 volts on the guitarist's vocal mic. The guitarist turned around and when the strings of his guitar hit the mic stand, they all lit up like a Christmas tree and sparks flew everywhere. Later that night the singer tried to strut across a cheap ass folding table during "White Wedding". The table fell over and he broke his ankle. I still remember him saying "I can't get my f*ckin' shoe off, I can't get my f*ckin' shoe off".

Back in the Tommi-Gunn days in the late 80's (when I "managed" and traveled with them), I remember getting obliterated at a gig at the 218 Club in Williamsport and heckling a heckler who was harassing the band, I'm surprised I didn't get into a fight! Later that night was the infamous post-gig debauchery at the hotel room, where I got sick as a dog and passed out, and the band shaved half my head (and wrote on Scott Zillinger's head, in permanent marker). The roadtrip back to Altoona the following day and the accompanying hangover rank as 2-3 of the most miserable hours of my life!

One of the funniest stupid things I ever saw a musician do during a gig was at Pellegrine's about 3 years ago. During the band Lloyd Dobbler Effect's first and last show there, their violin player, Javi, put on a dog head outfit and decided to step atop a row of Pelly's center-supported tables and try to do the Eddie Van Halen table walk from "Hot for Teacher" - He was stepping from the edge of one table to the edge of a second table, when - WHAP!!! - both tables toppled towards him, pancaking him in the middle like Wile E. Coyote in a Road Runner cartoon! The crowd laughed like hell as he wobbled incoherently for a second, regained his composure and stumbled back to the stage. (This incident wound up breaking one of the tables and a chair, leading to a near-violent confrontation between Harry Jr. and the band later that night after the show.)

I actually reviewed this show in "JP's Corner," it's still posted at this link (scroll down, it's near the end...):

Bobby, that cable-cutting incident brought back a long-forgotten memory: On the very first note, of the first song, at the first rehearsal of my first rock band, Blytz, the drummer (what was his name?... he only lasted maybe 2 rehearsals) hit a cymbal, knocked it over, and he cut the cord on my bass cleanly in two. I had to pigtail it back together and tape it with scotch tape.
You just knew it was a harbinger of how my career was going to be... three steps forward, two steps back.
I didn't care, I was in a BAND!!!!!------->JMS

I wasn't playin' in a gig, but when I was attending one, I got drunk and lost Jimi Hatt's...hat.

Don't be pissed at me still, ok Mr. Hatt? I was embarrassed and I felt bad.

But I think Vic has a good one for this thread.

I do? Sorry, I can't remember. Not because I didn't do anything stupid, but because I've done more than one stupid thing on stage LoL. Tell me tomorrow hon. I'll post it then.

A pair of cursed boots and a nasty green cast. Ring a bell?

Victor Synn · Post by **Victor Synn** » Thursday Oct 27, 2005

Ah, yeah. Summer of 2004. We were playing at the Somerset Ramada and I came off the stage to do my normal walking through the crowd. I started kind of half skipping in the back of the club near a small set of stairs leading to the back of the club. Well, in a fit of unintelligence, I didn't realize that I was in a pair of slouch boots, which is pretty much like walking with two sheets of ice tied to your feet. Coming down off these stairs, my foot rolled to the side and I broke two small bones in the arch of my left foot. This came about 5 or so songs into the first set of the night. I ended up finishing the show standing on my broken foot, which I didn't really know was broken at that point, but I had a lot of help from my lady and some Jager bombs LoL. But I guess one of the good things is I didn't have to tear down that night LoL.
