What's your funniest concert story?

[tonmazz]

It would have to be the time my sister in law was working security during Ozzfest and snuck me into the secured handicap section right in front. I live for Ozzy so I was psyched. Unfortunately right before he came on, Korn just started their set and I had to piss like I never had to in my life. If I was going to use the bathroom I would have had to leave that special section and I had no pass to get back in. So many wrong thoughts went through my head, pissing in a bottle, pissing on the ground. I honestly didn't hear one song Korn played I was so focused on holding it in and not losing my spot. I finally relented and had no choice and left to pee...stupid ass that I am, they guy saw me leave and let me right back in. Funny to this day I still cant name one song Korn played, totally blocked out their whole set planning my pee. I thought it was funny.

There also was the time me and 3 friends went to Binghamton to see David Lee Roth and tried to sneak into the hotel. What did we think we were going to do when we got there? Last thing Dave wants to see in the Hotel were four mullet wearing Males. That's more lame than funny.

I had a funny one back in 1985 when Wasp,Metallica and Armored Saint toured together.i was with a few buddies and one of them was this guy Eric who was a 6' 4" tall muscular swedish kid(mind you we were 16 years old) and when Blackie Lawless,the singer from Wasp,threw out this GIANT bone into the crowd it came flying right towards us.my buddy Eric jumps on top of the guys in the row just in front of him trying to get this thing and knocks down almost the ENTIRE row of fans in front of us like they were a set of bowling pins.when the dust cleared and the bodies started to untagle,my friend Eric rose out of the pile of guys with THAT bone clutched hard in his fist and waiving it up in the air as a "trophy" of sorts .....topping that was about 30 minutes later when Metallica came on stage to start their "set".they were on the RIDE THE LIGHTNING tour(my fav album of theirs )..................goood times!

Stevie Ray Vaughan show...

Two guys in the front were fighting I guess. He stops playing, says into the mic "bring up the house lights." He points at the guys fighting and says "I'm not playing another note until you guys knock it off, and there's about 5000 other people here who would love to finish this fight for you." (or something along those lines). They kept at it a bit, so SRV throws something at them... to this day I'm not sure what it was, but he did reach down to where his pedals were set up, and I always thought it was a pedal.

Security took the guys out a few minutes later and the show resumed. This was after SRV had cleaned up, and it was an amazing show.. he was so "on."

Love all these stories so far because inevitably something like this always seems to happen. I would give money to see Yngwie kicking ass, some lunatic friend of Neds fighting for a bone or SRV playing one note let alone smacking some guy with a Boss pedal in the head. Too Funny! Keep em coming.

We snuck into some kick ass seats for Tesla/Def leppard show back in the 80's.
Right at the very peak of "Modern Day Cowboy....the encore of the night for Tesla.."
Usher shines a light in our face saying "Show me your tickets".......
Damn....he ruined that last song!
How dare these people come an hour late to the show and ask to sit in THEIR SEATS!!

We still laugh about that story to this day.

That really does suck, Tesla's only good song and poof...you're out! Why couldn't it have been during signs..hell I would have kicked myself out during that snoozer!

 

[Mailman1971]

EXACTLY!! But Def leppard put on a great show....we only moved like 2 rows down....but ruined the moment!

1. Somebody threw a giant, deluxe nacho platter on King Diamond. He stormed off the stage, makeup smeared with nacho cheese.

2. Some dipshit was tripping HARD at Pink Floyd during the Division Bell tour. Dude jumped out of the upper deck at the RCA (Hoosier) Dome in Indy, "Learning to Fly."

 

[hannaugh]

I went to see Elefant. Their lead singer is a very attractive man. A girl threw her underwear, it landed on his mic, and he looked so incredibly creeped out that I laughed for the entire rest of the song. He picked it off the mic with his index finger and thumb only and threw it off the stage. Freaking priceless.

My first gig ever was Blur at Roskilde Festival...

I was 13. Someone lifted me up and then I experienced what is commonly known as "crowd-surfing"... I did however not know this, and consequently my technique was flawed. My boots were hitting people in the head left right and centre, and said hits were being answered by shots to the kidneys...

My journey ended with someone trying to launch me onto the stage, which failed... The security guard threw me back into the crowd, where a crowd of Hells Angels were engaging in a mosh-pit of epic proportions.

To this very day, I don't remember how I got out...

Dokken, front row in 1986, brought picks with me in my pocket. Threw one in front of stage after the show, watched two guys fight for it and the winner picked it up with his mouth.

Ozzy and Metallica - somehow me and my friends were wandering around and ended up by the tour busses. There were all these huge busses with really cool paintings. Then I noticed the bus we were standing by was some sort of old beat up Winnebago or something. I started laughing and said this must be Metallica's bus. A guy promptly got off the bus and cussed us all out - it was James Hetfield but we didn't know it at the time. Saw Metallica start and we all busted out laughing when James walked out on stage - but I guess he got the last laugh being he's a big millionaire rock star - way to go James!

hah, just remembered I was really young and my mom took me and some friends to see Def Leppard. We were standing in line and there was some gear/merchandise trucks by where we were standing. This roadie looking guy with a groupie looking girl go into a truck. About 15 minutes later they come out and she's got t-shirts, backstage passes, the works. My mom innocently says "wow, wonder how she got those!" Needless to say me and my friends were rolling on the ground laughing and mom was quite embarrased after she thought for a second.

Another one - me, my mom and my grandma going to see JP on the Screaming For Vengeance tour - grandma was actually into it!

I went to Carbondale Il see VH on the 5150 tour and I'm sitting there before VH went on and I smell hair burning. I'm like WTF? I tell me girlfriend I smell something like hair burning and she starts swatting the back of my head. My hair was longish but no super long and thank God I didnt get into the hairspray crap but anyway she said there was a cigarette butt in my hair. So I turn around to see who had put it in there and there was no one behind me but up a couple of rows was some dude sitting there all leaned back on the bleachers wasted and his dick hanging out the bottom of his super short jean shorts. I decided just to leave well enough alone. Weird thing though is my girlfriend then said she wanted break up with me and went up there and sat next to the guy....... ok I made that part up.
