Embarrassing music stories?


Recommended Posts

Few years back a couple of friends and I went to see Low play a charity gig in Duluth around the time of the Drums and Guns release.

As usual, people were either deeply moved or nodding off.. my friend decided to do both in an elaborate manner.

Backstory- So.. dude had fallen through a roof landing headfirst on a concrete floor two weeks prior to concert (don't ask how..) and ended up losing his hearing in his right ear. He was pretty concussed and possibly dealing with vertigo at the time or some shit. As standard, a might big bowl was toked before the show. Not the best combo when your shits ll fucked up and you're about to see one of the slowest bands ever.

Show- We were sitting in the back row enjoying the concert. I think the song was Cue The Strings or something rather soft.. you could hear a pin drop. I look over at (we'll call him:) dude, and he's lookin' pretty cross eyed. He staggers to his feat near the climax of the song and tries to express that he needed to get some air. People start looking around and Al Sparhawk from Low shows distraction. I start saying '' Dude, you ok?'', aparently loud enough for everyone to hear.

Al stops singing and goes, ''Yeah, dude. Sit down''

Start feeling pretty embarassed for dude at this point. He suddenly falls over some chairs and hits the ground, effectively disrupting the ending song.

Long story short, head injury+danks+shoegaze=fall on your face

^ I did something like that back at Hell Fest 2004. I was sitting on the edge of a window pane watching the stage and waiting for The Ataris to wrap up their set before The Misfits came on. I've never particularly liked The Ataris and I hadn't gotten that much sleep over the last several days so I felt myself beginning to nod off. A few moments later, I woke up on top of a couple of girls who had been sitting underneath the pane. Super embarrassed, I apologized profusely to the two of them as they laughed and assured me that it was alright. Regardless of the lolz and good attitude about me literally falling onto them after losing my balance while asleep, I still made my way towards another part of the venue to watch the show.

i went to see green day/get up kids at the bronco bowl in dallas sometime around the release of the Warning album with 3 other friends from high school.

we had balcony seats, but easily snuck our way to the floor by borrowing a ticket from someone already down there, and then one by one sharing the same ticket to trick security into letting is down there. shortly there after, we purchased a joint from a guy in the crowd who was selling them for $5 each.

we gathered around with about 4 other people from the crowd and we all only got maybe 2 or 3 hits each.

about 20 minutes later one of the three said friends starts exclaiming that he can only see in black and white, and he was continually rolling his eyes in the back of his head and wobbling around barely keeping his balance.

my high was pretty heavy myself, but nothing like he was describing. we eventually had to unsneak our way out of the pit and back to our seats to sit down.

talked to the dude that sold us the j after the show and he admits they were all laced with coke and dipped in some kind of chemical (i aint no scientist).

i saved the roach and smoked it the next day.
