Memorable stage banter: good, bad and otherwise

Ted Nugent - (I was 14 OK?) Ted basically told the audience that our town (of 50 or 60K souls) had the "finest pussy" in the US of A and that he always looked forward to visiting our fair burg for just that reason. The audience responded with proletarian gusto.

Ice-T once spun a yarn about buggering a buxom local shopping mall employee.

Hanky Turbonegro - Some semi-coherent tale about how they were from the lost realm of Atlantis and had emerged from the sea on the shores of Asbury Park just to rock us.

Daniel Higgs of Lungfish - spontaneously reciting his bewildering metaphysical poetry while performing pirate tai-chi or building monuments from the sound equipment.

Highly politicized (anarcho-vegan-"revolutionary") hardcore bands in the 90s and their sophmoric political tirades. That was worse than the Nuge I think.

Faiz,

There's already a thread for everything that's ever happened.

Best,

"It's not a vacation."

Videotaper dude put his camera down after that.

When I saw Smog at the Empty Bottle in '05, someone kept yelling "Smog is overrated. There, I said it." He kept did this a few times. Callahan ignored him. Then he said, "I think I want to hump the bass player."
Callahan said "The guy who wants to hump the bass player, you're going to have to get past my leg first."

When I first started playing shows, I'd get over my nerves by talking...talking a lot. The mos

Now, I say nothing. Not a single fucking word. No counting, no talking between band members, overall very blank stares.

Every band I've ever been in, including the current ones...I always get the feeling that the other members are really concerned with what I might say between songs. There's always subtle little hints for weeks before a show 'you know dude, we can't be too offensive we can't say this and that'
Like I'm an idiot.
