Re: What is the crazyist concert experince you have ever had?


Ok i admit my concert life is... crazy here are two i didnt tell yall(second one happened yesterday) Odd is for Odd fellows:

A while back a group of people were outside a venue (right word, expanding my vocabulary, concert hall)
I was one... we were discussing how around one year ago that another concert had taken place. We were all there...(not to mention i got into a 21+) somehow the others united into a band(odd)...the real fun part was ... inviting random people off the street that we knew and talking about that weird concert a year ago...
Someone used the “one drum kit”’s beaters backwards... iron cobra original beaters too (the drummer whose drum kit had new heads and every thing,and I’ve seen bass drum heads played broken... but this...)
Primadonna(correct spelling?, i dont listen to her music)I, not being allowed to roady, was able to because of the amount of time it took.
Last but not least... it all turned out to be a scam in the end.

Last Sunday, was a concert, it all began... in a airplane the Friday before, I met the person who ran the concert, I noticed he “skated” and asked him what he was listening to, I was sitting in front of him on that flight, I found out that the band I roady for would play at the show (he’s a drummer and is going to get tank pedals to replace his old ones)I knew I had to go to that show... two days later...
I long boarded to get there, I learned how to “stop”.
When I got there first thing I heard was... we are not going to play, our drummer quit (it turned out his girlfriend or the band) sooner or later it lead to me playing blast beats (I would have been there second oldest drummer) later on I learned he broke up with his girl friend and is sticking with his music. so he came late with a new rack(same as mine) and because no one had a china i had to run home (I live closer than any one else)while this was happening I was thinking of the comparison between our two drum kits (we have the same snair heads etc.) I heard a band from Texas “post hardcore” their drummer regularly drums folk and other music. I had to get my 18” china for the new drummer of the band (no one else had a china). After the show I saw someone smash a can against his head and the guy from the plane was limber enough to kick his own head.
That’s not all, I joined into a conversation(only laughing)about a Hardcore band turned into techno, rock and club, true but I really didnt get it myself,were having qualms of booking them now...lol.
In the end I had to get a ride... had to walk to my friend’s house, and unload band equipment from his SUV
