I remember going to a Happy Mondays gig on a Saturday night. They were parading a huge polystyrene '1' around and in celebratory mood giving it large as their new album or single was nailed on for the top spot in the charts the next day.

It only got to number 2.

Saw some truely crap metal-type band (from Brighton) several years ago in Kingston-Upon-Thames.

They had 4 heavily-equipped wannabe raaawk gods & loads of gear on a tiny stage & launched into their opening salvo. Unbeknown to the majority of the paultry audience, they were actually a 5 piece & the hefty lead guitar plucker was struggling to get past the amp stack on stage left. He had a hissy fit; unplugged his 'axe' & disappeared from view. After a further couple of minutes, he appeared through the back of the venue & headed towards the business end. He then took a further 30 seconds or so to haul himself onto a tiny sliver of space on the stage - & by the time he managed to plug himself in again (via a roadie sawt lobbing him his lead) the song promptly finished.

Marvelous Tap-tastic scenes.

I was in a pub in Newhaven on a Friday night a few years back. Watching a pub band massacre Radio Ga Ga is quite surreal. They did the clapping bit as well.

It was this show and that incident that influenced Jerry Dammers to write Ghost Town. The Specials were the act between Suicide and The Clash, although they were called The Coventry Automatics at the time. The dressing rooms were upstairs at the back of the hall then and the bands all saw it happen.

A seriously scary but memorable evening which ended with The Clash walking off stage when it had , once again, kicked off in the audience. Had to laugh though when they bought Jimmy Pursey on to do "White Riot" to try and calm things down !.

Buzzcocks at the Top Rank was a bit hairy. Speakers off the balcony, cans and everything at the roadies, gob at the band, ob at the double!

 

[Insel affe]

The M3t3ORS at Edingbrough: through the swirling synthetic fog a scotsman comes on stage playing the bagpipes, then a twang of the guitar and Fenench (lead singer) Proclaims " Bollox "......... "Scotland belongs to the English" and the band start playing all hell is let loose, but none of the anger is directed at the band, just each other........... classic

Jake Burns from Stiff Little Fingers falling off the stage, im sure this will never be beaten, he was walking towards the end of the stage when all of a sudden he just dropped between the stage and the barrier haha he was up to his waist still playing his guitar, he later said of the roadies 'it helps when the f*ckin stage goes all the way to the f*ckin end!' haha legend.

Jake Burns falling off the stage at an SLF gig in prestwick, he jumped back up and said through the mic "dont say a fuckin word". I told my mate who had back stage passes the following night in Edinburgh, he asked Jake about this and he just said "how the f*** do you know about that?" lol

Damn it you beat me to it!
