Most negative gig experience ever? (1 Viewer)

On the way to a gig in the lower deck in the middle of winter this dude came stumbling down the road with no top on. As he got closer there was an unusual stringy thing spraying from his shoulder in a pulsing fashion. As he got closer i realised he was slashed to bits. Took of my big wooly jumper and wrapped it round his arm and escorted him to the Garda station (2 mins away) he then collapsed and they called an ambulance.

I was left covered in blood from head to toe. The guard just look at at me and shrugged his shoulders. I then went to the gig in my mates girl friends cloths, luckily she was a "skater chic" so she actually had small boy clothes.
 
I went to see Babyshambles years ago in The Button Factory, they were meant to be on at 21:00ish by 21:30ish the rumours started that Pete was still in the UK and missed the boat.

Some lad came onstage and apologised for the delay but assured us that they'd be on by 22:00ish, that time came and went, punters were getting drunker and drunker so at 22:30ish the same poor fucker had to come on stage and say the gig would be postponed till a later date and with that a volley of cups, bottles < both plastic and glass > and cans were all lashed up towards the stage.

The most negative part was that, to my shame I was swept up in this mob mentality and fucked a full pint which I'd paid over the odds for at the stage too....

wow. good story.
 
Mundy, The Canden Underworld circa '96. College pal obsessed by Romeo and Juliet film got me to go with her. Nothing happened. He just played his songs.

That girl dragged me to see Babybird at the Ilford Island too. I can't remember anything about that gig.

Jesus dude. I thought I knew you well but never guessed that you had these sorts of traumatic experiences in your past.
 
I started to write about The Fall in Crawdaddy, then realised that pretty much every time MES is onstage there is a certain edge to the atmosphere.
 
18 stitches! Shit dude, that's no joke. Sorry for belittling that! Must have been a fair auld kick to the head? Been stitched up several times on the rugby field. Luckily our team doctor is a dab hand with the needle and it rarely gets too gory.

Vague recollections of that gig. What was it again?


The scar I ended up with is tiny but for some reason i really just don't scar much.
I thought it was going to be rugby related. Nothing actually hurts during sport. Your so wired up on adrenaline and all the chemicals that your body releases to fight the pain in your muscles that you don't feel a thing. On seperate occasions in football matches I broke my toe, 3 fingers and damaged my knee ligaments and just played on not noticing. Where as the witness incident occurred while I was watching Idlewild or something so no danger of adrenaline there.

I wish i could remember who played at that lower deck show, someone ended up getting shot in the face, they had huge lumps on their cheek it looked horrible.
 
Well yeah but if you get bashed up in training you have to be driven to his gaff by which time the adrenalin is mostly nullified.

Yeah what a horrible cunt whoever that was.
 
Gentle Veincut if I'm not mistaken. My friend was one of the casualties. Think it was these yokes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airsoft_pellet as opposed to metal pellets, so I don't think it was too painful. Still shit though.

Yeah that might have been it. They were staying with me that time, First they had their cans taken off them by the owner of the Deck then I had to tell them not to go outside because there was someone shooting at the venue and the last night of the tour the drummer found a slug in his bed. Jesus my old gaf was a shit hole.

Your mate was lucky it wasn't metal or that the pellet didn't hit him 2 inches higher, would have lost an eye.

I think my mate maced himself that night while pretending to use it as deoderant, then him and his girlfriend got mugged on the way home.

Oh yeah training injuries are fucking shit. I'd forgotten all about them. The drummer in my old band had his knee ligaments busted at the company 5 a side. He said it was like someone had cut his leg off. He was off work for the best part of 9 months. He went to Electric Picnic in a wheelchair.
