We have done this a bunch of times at my place, and each time the stories just get better than the last time.
put em up, bar owners from hell, drunks, police band thru the wireless, melted plastic to the testies (that would be me......... :doh: :cry: :cry: )
lets hear em :yes: :lol: :LOL: :rock:
 
I was a dive in Renton that I would "never play there again" this was a good 20 years ago. I had tooo much to drink. "alright I'll do it" as the band was setting up. When the line wore off I fell into the PA several times. It's kind of fuzzzzy but I remeber the other guitar player tuning his strat threw a full stack cranked as in dimed in the middle of Stangle Hold and him getting hit in the back of the head with drum stixx.
The night was not much fun for anybody.
 
I did so much jenkem before a gig, I passed out and had to go to the emergency room. Part of my brain died.

none of the guys wanted to smell me, so they went guitarless for that night. :thumbsdown:

It was some crazy shit :doh:

Was the JNKM home-brewed or someone elses?

I have heard things about the peruvian JENK.........be careful! :lol: :LOL: :D :lol: :LOL:
 
played a new years party at this dive called the tracks end. as the night wore on, people were getting crazier and crazier. fights were breaking out one after another. We finished up, got paid and loaded our gear, and all hell broke loose. Full blown brawl. Then someone started shooting and we got the hell outta there. Drove by the next day and it was burned down. :rock:
 
my turn
back in the 80s we all could use flash cans on stage, nobody had been killed yet
our light man and I had set up a board with simple on and off switches, some dimmers and a ton of sockets, and we had our lights and "effects" hooked up to it.
during the second set, we always did eruption, and after the first segment, when the whole band comes in for the big one/two/three, the flash can was supposed to go off on the three, the laser kick in and make a cone of light, and I step into the smoke, finish off the solo (for as many min as I felt like, great time to be a self indulgent guitarist) and all would be good
well, this one night the flash can does not go off.
no big deal, there is enough smoke to make the laser stand out a bit, and since the can is dead center stage, up I go to straddle it and finish off the mid-set wankfest. HOWEVER, the whole time I am wailing away, my light guy is monkeying around with the switch till all of a sudden
BAM! THE FUCKER GOES OFF, WITH ME STRADDLING IT, WEARING BLACK SPANDEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Melted that shit right to my nether region :doh: :cry: :doh: :cry:


btw, the crowd loved it, the can was filled with slow and fast burn powder, and topped with sparkle powder, made for a great effect, if only I had been wearing asbestos and kevlar underwear :cry: :cry: :aww: :no: :doh:

I toured through the midwest in the 90's doing the cover gig thing. One night somewhere in Indiana in the middle of Highway to Hell I watched 2 guys dressed in full KKK garb chase a colored guy through the bar - that was very bazaar!
