Thread Name: Enrage Your Audience Stories?
Subject: RE: Enrage Your Audience Stories?
I told one story on a thread I think it was Worst gigs ever. It really wasn't that bad of a gig though. The lead singer/aongwriter wrote a song about police from the cops point of view. It was a great song and someone requested it. To make a long story short a biker dude in the crowd didn't like it and got mouthy. The singer came off the stage hitting the mouthy biker in the face. Biker buddies jumped the singer. Label reps and band jump the bikers. Owner fired gun into the air. We got up and finished the gig. If you want to read the whole story check out the Worst gig thread. My songs that I write have always been darker songs. I am pretty accustomed to people getting up and leaving. My other band (no longer together) were pretty dark songs as well. It was a regular occurence for some people not to like us and get mouthy. In turn the ones who did like us (VERY LOYAL) would in turn wind up in fights with the mouthy ones that didn;t like us. Our gigs were never boring. Some called us folk rock and others called us alt country. Whatever you wanted to call that band it was not boring.
