Once, in my hair-band days (early 90’s at Lemar’s I believe), I was wearing torn up jeans (ala Def Lep). Our guitar player (Mark) had just put on new strings and had neglected to cut the ends off. During one particular high note, I was standing with my legs apart and Mark decides it would be cool/funny to insert the head of his guitar between my legs. One of the strings on his guitar became tangled with the strings hanging from my pants and we were stuck. I had to reach down between my legs mid-song and tear the strings off my pants so Mark could rip into his solo.
In a band with Guy Golightly and Matt Despain (I believe it was called The Stand and only lasted about a year) we played a club on State St. in SLC. After one set, the owner called us into his back room and fired us. He said he would hire us again someday if we learned all the dance songs on a list he gave us. We felt pretty humiliated as we went back on stage to break down our equipment while the crowd danced to the DJ. I remember Guy angrily lifting the big PA subs into the truck by himself as we loaded up and never came back.
A few years ago, we (Perfect Disorder) were opening for Vince Neil (Motley Crue). We had our own dressing room, but once Vince and his band arrived, we had to go stand out in the parking lot while his limo pulled in, the VN band sound-checked and went into their dressing rooms. We were then allowed back into our dressing room. We never did meet Vince Neil, but hung out with his band. Jerk!
