I won't go in to details ... poor squirrel, never saw me coming 'till it was too late. It was that damn flyer it was eating; very distracting ...

That's what she said.
Ouch!
Once, I jumped off a drum riser into a ceiling beam (low ceiling) and gave
myself a minor concussion as well as a nice gash on my forehead. Wasn't
paying attention due to need to get back to mic to sing. Continued to play
though a bit disoriented.
Once (at Pelligrine's) years ago, I also slipped on the front of the stage
while running back from the audience. Went face down, threw my bass
in the air, landed on my face, and somehow manged to roll over and catch my bass as it fell. Could'nt have repeated this again in a million years, but I caught the bass and continued to play laying on the stage floor (as I was laughing, but it hurt like hell!)
I'm sure we all have a few of these!

well lets see.. (being as somebody who doesnt play but witnesses a certain band do the aforementioned once a night haha)
some of the moronic things i have seen on stage..
a bassist attempt to headbang on top of a speaker at county line inn, only to smack his head off the roof and push a tile out of place.
a guitarist attempting to jump onto a speaker in cassville, only to fall backwards and the speaker to fall back on its side in middle of a song
drummer losing handle of sticks after hitting snare - stick flying in air, and being caught to continue song almost as if it were intentionally done at county line, cassville, and again in pittsburgh
vocalist in pittsburgh dancing around on a stage not big enough for a 5 piece band, almost falling on lead and rhythm guitarists
bassist at the cassville sportsmansclub swinging his bass from front to back on his shoulders, almost taking out the singer, bassist, and drummer of "From Dissension" out of Harrisburg
vocalist for "The Heartbreak Scene" swinging microphone over his head and smashing him in the forehead, cutting him open at Saltillo
ive prolly witnessed a million more - funny shit, always a good time to see people almost kill themselves on stage haha

Back in my earlier days , Mike Gaeta and I were into martial arts , and during "Gimme Some Lovin'" , we choreographed kicks over each other's shoulders , on the beat.
Well , at the West Mifflin Holiday Inn , in Pittsburgh...someone had left a wide strip of ducttape on stage , and when I kicked with my left foot , my right slipped on the tape and came up beside my left.
I was basically laying on my back , 5 feet off the floor , which didn't last long before I was on my back on the floor.
Wow , about 150 people laughing at the same time....but in my defense , I didn't miss a beat....LOL.
One of many.

I was playing an outdoor event under a pavillion. A 4' by 8' sheet of plywood fell from the rafters and hit me square in the head. I didn't miss anything or even fall over. The blow jammed my neck pretty hard though. Thats about the weirdiest thing that happened to me.
If you want to see an amazing band do tricks while they play and flip around and all sorts of stuff check out Story of the Year. Thier live show is great!!!!!!!!!!!

While playing in a battle of the bands in pittsburgh. The lead guitarist in our band jumped in the air during one of our songs and the neck of his guitar hit my forearm and broke the guitar neck in half. So to kill time during the mishap we brought one of our friends onto the stage and our lead singer kicked him in the no-no area. We moved on to the next round, but i'm pretty sure it was because of our stage show. Haha.

well have you ever witnessed a good dropkick to the junk? nothing funnier and more motivating that watching somebody you love fall like a ton of bricks onto their knees, grabbing their junk in pain and rolling over coughing like a 20 yr smoker working thru emphysema in a coal mine..Bit*chenWomen1029 wrote:roflmao>>> some serious funny stuff...
as for your friend.... why in the hell would he offer to let you kick him in the nono area? lol what a weirdo!!!
i promise you - if a guitarist breaks his guitar, and a friend takes one for the team - and i were judging that shit - that band would move on in a heartbeat haha

One night at a club over above Scranton, a few of us were hitting on some girls during break... They offered to buy us shots...cool....
After we toasted, I kinda tossed my head back to drink the shot, not realizing how close I was to a post... I hit me head on the post, and as my head came forward, it met the shot that was headed toward my mouth. I ended up throwing a shot of sambuca all over my face...looked around at the strange looks I was getting, said "thanks, that hit the spot" and walked away. No way to recover from that one!

There have been many...but I had a Spinal Tap moment a few weeks ago.
We (Third Standard) have spent nearly every Friday this fall playing for crazy crowds at the Darkhorse Tavern in PSU. But a couple of Fridays ago we happened to be in Indiana at Culpepper's. I normally do everything that I can to rile up the crowd, and I yelled at some point "Get Up Darkhorse...." which was met by quite a few stares, and I had to explain and apologize to the crowd, who just seemed to get a kick out of it, but I was embarassed to say the least....

Yes a giant boogy hanging from my nose for the whole first song! when I realized it was there I thought to myself "oh shit a booger"!! so I picked it off and then flicked it!! LOL It makes me laugh, so somewhere on that stage lies a dehydrated boogy from my nose..
