So, i was chatting with my band mates last night and we were reminicing, some hillarious stories came up.
I was wondering if anyone from here had any stories from the road... it's been a while since we've been on the road. And they always make for good reading... share please!
Ill start off:
We were invited to a club in Cambridge to support this band on their tour of the UK, the venue was small and had this family Pub attached to it, the gig started really really early and we were on 2nd, by this time we had already ingested a vast quantity of alchohol, but our drummer was far ahead of us. We got on stage and pulled off our usual show and got back to the drinking. We spilled into the family pub and noticed that the bar was manned by only one guy, who had to go out of sight, around the corner to swipe cards, we snatched as much booze as we could once he went and crawled back into the venue, by this time we were so off our faces we decided that the touring band, who were just taking to the stage needed some liquid refreshment, so myself and James, our vocalist poured whiskey into the mouths of both guitarists... I however missed and poured the whiskey straight into the poor $%&#er's eye! We thought this was hillarious, and so did the rest of his band.
By this time, our drummer was so wrecked he started throwing up everywhere, he was sat behind the mixing desk by the promotor... which was a bad move as he subsiquently threw up all over it and $%&#ed up the bands entire last number. He was thrown out of the booth, throwing up everywhere, he ran into the toilets and thew up on this 13/14 year old lad. The Dad was not amused and came up to us asking us if we'd seen the guy who did it, we told him it was the bassist from the first band, (who was a right c--k, they had a big female following for some unknown reason... more of that later) and pointed him out to the guy. It was at this point we were ushered from the venue by the guy who had dropped us off, he helped us load our gear into his car but because we did it so badly, only one of us could fit in it... so we posted our drummer, Nick back with him and tried to get a lift to the Station... we got chatting to these two girls, who came here with a guy in this one girls car. We begged her to give us a lift to the station and they agreed, we ended up $%&#ing around for ages at the station but this one girls phone kept going off... in the end she looked at it and it was her fella... the bassist from the first band who had got almost got lamped in the face by this angry Dad... who had been saved from a beating by being been kicked out for stealing a bottle of Rum from behind the bar... which someone had accidently left by their bags... ;)
We were never invited back, probably for our own safety.
