Just when you think you have seen the strangest fans

Post by moxham123 »

This was posted on another music website by a band from California

This was their "FAN OF THE YEAR" winner.

The guy was INSANE. We were booked for a 2-night stint at a bar/Grill that had a postage stamp for a stage. we did 3 45-50 minute sets. Lots of fun. A good mix of covers and originals.

It was a cold and dreary night, and it was dumping like crazy. So we were playing a cover of some kind, when this guy walks by, walking his dog. IN THE RAIN. He looks through the glass and starts to rock out.. IN THE RAIN.

He ties his dog to a bench (at least the poor pup was out of the rain now), takes his jacket off and stows it next to the dog and proceeds to enter.

At this point, we realize that he is either drunk, stoned, high on Meth, or some combination of all three. He is going crazy!!! He's dancing, and literally screaming along with the music. We were playing some 80's and 90's covers, but he was screaming and dancing like we were doing hardcore covers of said songs. At one point, he licked the guitar of or frontlady... I was a bit concerned that I was going to have to stick a boot in his, well.. Anyway...

At some point, he goes to the bar, and I think they kicked him out, because he started to leave. The bar was up a coupleof steps from the area we were playing at, and it had a guard rail and a wheel chair ramp. Instead of either walking down the ramp, or the stairs, he climbs OVER the guard rail, and falls onto a chair below. He stands up, and shakes himself off, and is about to leave.

Well... Earlier, he put his lighter on stage, and had left it there when he went to the bar. Our guitarist/vocalist (who is a quite attractive female) yells out to him "YOU FORGOT YOUR LIGHTER!!!"

His response? "NO THANKS, I'm GAY!!!"
