Accidents at live shows

My old band was playing a Halloween show for WNNJ out of New Jersey, and at one point some very scantily clad flamboyantly gay dude got right in front of the singer (who's terribly homophobic) and started wiggling this 12" dildo in his face. He kept moving from one side of the stage to the other trying to get away from him, but captain rubber cock just kept following him. I was laughing so hard I started crying, which mixed with the gunk in the air from the fog machine, and I slipped right off of the stage. Luckily it wasn't a very high stage and I landed on my feet...but it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.

No joke, a woman from the crowd grabbed said dildo, and then took off by the bathrooms never to be seen again for the rest of the night.

Dude, between this and a certain video of a duel you posted awhile ago, you're 2 for 2 on hilarious dildo humor :lol::lol::lol:
 
My Vocalist and guitarist almost had their heads severed by a Lights estructure that felt cause some stupid kids was pushing it.
 
During a Life of Agony show years back (River Runs Red tour) my wife (then gfriend) decided to hop up on stage and stage dive, but when she dove off the crowd parted like the red sea and to the floor she went. To add insult to injury this was after Keith the lead singer had crushed her fingers on the stage with his mic stand
 
We had the snare fall off the stand and literally roll off the side of the stage in the middle of a song once. The drummer had to get up and go get it while everyone else kept playing... LOL.
 
4 or 5 times when I stood on stage (as a singer, so nothing to hide) my zipper was completely open, could be worse.
Had a show where I played with plastered arm (had my elbow broken) and our bass player crashed
the neck of his bass against my arm and it hurt so fucking bad that I had to scream
the good part, I should've screamed anyway at that part (it was a death metal band) and it matched very well with the song...

When I played my first gig with my first band as a bassist my bridge got fucked during the second song
so I wasn't able to tune my bass properly-did I mention that the whole concert was recorded
and our last song was released on a sampler?
 
I've seen my share of stage-accidents (as a visitor and as PA-tech)

My girlfriend got slammed by a stagediver at a Spoil Engine show;
Saw the guitarist of Ancient Rites getting hit on the head by a lighting rig, must have been painful;
Witnessed Sy Keeler being crowdsurfed out of the venue after an Onslaught-show;
Seen singers throw their mic into the audience, hold on to the cable, getting back the cable with the mic gone.
Audience tore the cable to pieces. Then singers give me crap because they aren't getting a new mic instantly;
Helped a band evacuate stage because one of the FOH-amps (not ours though) had caught fire (epic one);

Those are just a few i can come up with right now^^
 
Once had my whole kit ride away on a sea of kids who crashed the stage. It was like this jumbled mass of 15 or so bodies with my kit in the middle, I was left with a crash cymbal, hats, and a snare; rack mounted floor toms on their sides, and the kick/rack toms a good 10 feet away. Other cymbals on the floor.

That was... fun.
 
I once fell backwards into the drumkit in the middle of a song. Due to the fact that our drummer plays to a click he just kept on playing and I had to be pulled back up by our bassplayer. We managed to finish the song though.

Our drummer has had it worse though. He got his thumbs crushed, cymbals fall on his head, twist his ankle and fallen backwards from a drum riser off the 1.5 metre high stage while playing. ALL IN THE SAME SHOW! He's our Spinal Tap guy
 
I dislocated my knee on stage once...

I've had a string break and bury itself in my forearm and didn't notice until the blood began to trickle down my arm...

I jumped off the stage at the Whiskey and rolled my ankle...

I jumped off the stage at the Troubadour to run around in the pit during a really heavy-mosh-pitting part and almost face-planted... ended up sliding in on my knees and slightly jacking them up...



I don't really do anything on stage anymore... shit hurts.
