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.

LMAO!!! :hys: That was so cruel! It's like throwing a penny in front of two jews and watch them fighting 'til the death!

I was a club to see some bands. the club happened to be a round the corner from another club. A friend and I were standing outside the club smoking a cig when a cute girl comes around the corner and starts talking to us.

She is trying to get us to leave the club we are at to go around the corner to see the band Dope. I explain to her that I dont like dope at all and the bands at "my" club were far better.

At this point she is walking out in to the parking lot and I yell to her "if Dope is so good why are you leaving?" A guy comes walking around the corner and says hey man why are you slagging on my girlfriend. I promptly explain what I had yelled to her and start to tell him how much of a terrible band I think Dope in explicit detail. The guy backs up a little bit and starts looking at his shoes. Im thinking " does this guy think Im starting a fight with him" as I continue to berate Dope.

When Im done explaining my hatred for Dope he goes on to tell me hes the drummer of Dope!

I thought about attempting to save face, but I had slandered Dope so badly at that point I just ran with it and said, "well, YOUR band sucks then!" :D

Similar story. I was at Alcatraz in Reseda in like 83 84 , ynviewy throws a pick out and all these guys fight for it, I walk over and pick it up off the ground from right in the middle of this four man brawl.

Pomona 86 87 ? I went to see him at Pomona Valley Auditorium first tour on his own. Drank too many beers threw up in the balcony didnt see show. :cry:

OFFTOPIC ALERT...

I played Pomona Valley Auditorium with NorthStar opening for Great White right when "Face The Day" hit big. We came on right before Great White - played a 45 minute set to a packed room of ~ 5000. I felt like a rock star that night - chicks on guys shoulders flashing boobs, complete crush at the front of the stage, chicks up front trying to rip the scarf off my neck (was wrapped around it - almost got strangled :lol: :LOL: )... BIG PA sounded killer... extracurricular activities backstage... after party past dawn at our rehersal studio.. fun night...

I had a similar experience around the same time because my drummer Billy Nichols was Dante Foxs' original drummer and grew up with Jack.
 
I got hit in the face with a turkey sub at The Rose Bowl Journey, Triumph, Blue Oyster Cult, Aldo Nova concert. My cousin was on the ground laughing at me. After the stun wore off I picked it up and sent it on its merry way.
 
stage diving 10-15 feet +face into concrete = stitches and blood and 2 broken teeth.

i know. metal.










or just stupid

Were you the lucky winner of the fight? :lol: :LOL:
 
2 come to mind...the first was in like 2000 or 2001 or something. Big festival show in miami called bonzaii. Rob Zombie was on stage. I look over and see my drunk ass mom in the fucking moshpit. I was like 16 or 17 lol. That was hilarious.

Second was in 2005 at sounds of the underground. My buddy had just had jaw surgery and couldnt chew. They didnt let him bring his nasty ass food shake in with him. He bought a cheese steak and was standing there at the food stand letting steak and cheese literally slide down his throat. It was probably one of the most hilarious things Ive ever seen. Hes 6'4 and was about 215 at the time, all muscle, and hes standing in front of a food stand looking up sliding steak down his throat piece by piece.

Good times.
 
It was not really "funny" but anyway...

It was during last ICED EARTH tour, in Montreal. About halfway to the set, they played STORMRIDER, but some retarded drunk-punk spit on Jon Schaffer. He was SOOO pissed off, he drop/threw his guitar on the ground, the other musicians didnt know what to do... they stoped playin' after a few seconds... He took his mic and asked who the guy was, The guy just said some random shit (he was high and drunk as fuck) so we lift him up, like bodysurfing, and we droped/threw him in the front row where the bouncer took him out. I've heard he got the beating of his life outside... there's some video on youtube I believe.
 
Was backstage after a Ronnie James Dio show, at least a MILLION poodle haired metal maidens in there. all the usual stuff going on when Jimmy Bain got a huge pro vid camera on his shoulder and was walking around asking girls "who wants to make a movie?" Me and my wife were talking to Craig Goldie when Jimmy made his way to the other side of the room where a buddy of mine, who was zooming so bad he got sick, and when Jimmy came up to him with the camera he puked on his ostrich skin boots. We acted like we did not know who he was :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL:

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. :lol: :LOL: 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.

Where do you live dude? I actually lived in Carbondale at that time. Had a gig that night so I missed the show. I heard Sammy and Ed started "Why Can't This be Love" in th ewrong key and had to stop the song. I still live in West Frankfort. Right up the road.

I remember that show clearly, so many dirt balls running for that pick and that smelly/sweating Great White lead singer coming down to the audience...What that Yngwie show we went to at the Baccanal where the two bouncers took that long haired scumbag from head to toe roadhouse style out of the club! :lol: :LOL: ...Yngwie shows were classic, i think that was the same show where he threw his guita behind his back and his roadie wasnt paying attention and it dropped to the ground...oh the evil look he gave out to him was classic
 
I saw Queensryche during their Hear in the Now tour in Columbus Ohio. About 5 songs in Geoff Tate states that the concert is cancelled because he's having problems with his voice. Fans stick around for awhile thinking it's a joke, eventually they start leaving.

There is a giant inflated balloon shaped like a Budweiser can just outside the ampitheater, it was probably 20-30 feet tall. Fans are ticked, one guy has had too many and screams "You're going down!" Onlookers cheer as he sprints toward the can with his arms out and head back. He sinks into it about a foot before it flings him back and he lands flat on his back a few feet away. :rock:

He staggared away, seemed ok. I got a full refund for the ticket.

Aw man....I bet that was HILLARIOUS!! :lol: :LOL:

I love seeing shit like that! ;)

Hell...........I love DOING shit like that!! :D
 
It was my 20th birthday and I went to an Anthrax show. I think this was the sound of white noise tour or the one after that album. I don't remember much from those days. :D They brought out these two nasty looking chicks the were dancing on stage topless. After they got done, Scott Ian said, "Those are some nasty tits." :lol: :LOL: Then John Bush said, "Well maybe we should have fed them to the lions." Meaning throwing them into the crowd. :lol: :LOL: I got a guitar pick from Scott that tour too. It was a good show.
 
Was at the Twisted Sister/Dokken show in 84(?) in Amarillo, one guy in the audience wouldn't stand up, Dee FREAKED on the guy started cussing him out, had the crowd chanting FUCK YOU!, at him...kids Mom happened to be with him, went to the cops filed charges, and when the show was over, Dee walked to the side of the stage, Cops, waiting, hand-cuffed him right there and hauled him to jail.... ah the early 80's. :lol: :LOL:
 
The Ramones in New Haven, around 84-85.

This group of "hardcore" punk rockers were standing in the parking lot and started to really give it to this guy that looked like he just left work to make the show. Dude has Dockers on, Polo dress shirt....the dude must not have gained approval from the kids and he just kept walking. As I am watching this whole thing unfold I see the dude's knuckles are all enlarged, colliflower ears, etc. The dude is some sort of fighter but to the guy wearing safety pins all over his head he is just some yuppie scum :yes:

Inside the show starts and the mosh begins and mr safety pin just runs toward the yuppie with this middleclass white hood look on his face...................yuppie plants and hits this guy so hard in the chest you could hear over Dee Dee's marshalls bones break and all these safety pins go flying everywhere :lol: :LOL:
 
Not that funny but.. I have been to a shit load of metal shows.. Ozzfest, Slayer, LOG, Meshugga, Amon Amarth.. been in some pretty bad ass pits with some crazy motherfuckers... what was the worst pit i've ever been in? the only pit I've ever come out of bloody and beaten?



Fucking Incubus/Deftones.


I'm really not sure if that's funny, or just sad???
 
I just thought of another one. Went to see Ozzy at the Meadowlands with Motorhead. During Motorhead, some jackass 5 or six rows up barfed all over a shitload of seats behind us, I mean 5 or 6 seats across for three or four rows with all of the splatter. We were up front against the rail and just missed getting it but that whole group of people never came back to sit, we had no one around us and it ended up being cool for us. I always wondered where everyone else went... :confused: :lol: :LOL:
