At a crust/punk show: "The dye's coming out of your hair! Your blue mohawk's turning brown again!"

Not band-heckling, but I'm also reminded of the time I was in a line for some crusty show and some regular "Joe Hardhat" passerby jests, "Hey, are Sex Pistols are playing tonight?", which made me chuckle. Then some offended PC-punk gal yells back, "Like, what do the Sex Pistols have to do with punk? Johnny Rotten's pro-life!"

I thought that was a pretty good one.

Holy Shit this is Hilarious and an odd coincidence!

This is exactly what and how my friend and I were yelling at Spectrum when I heckled them (as mention in my previous post). I thought is was clever at the time, but maybe it was a really obvious thing to do.....

God, it was just delays on everything with really deep, reverbed, delayed singing that sound like an hour long version of "Bela Lugosi's Dead"....

If that wasn't Tom or N0rb, i'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that was my buddy Jordn.

sounds like a HANSON or Ryan heckle to me...

I got heckled one time by a large, mohican sporting gentleman who stood right at the front with his middle finger raised, saying to me: "You're fucking shit." I responded with, "I know. I'm sorry." He shrugged and walked away.

Another time I was getting heckled, I did a tmidgett and invited the heckler - whom I could not see - to "come on stage and say it to my face, motherfucker." He decided to do just that, and as he got near the stage I realised with sadness that he was a large man who could smash the living shit out of me without breaking a sweat. Fortunately, he was in better spirits than I was and shook my hand, telling me he meant no harm. Phew!

I've been ejected from a venue for heckling. My band was on the bill with a terrible Norwegian rock band. "Life's too short to listen to this shit!" I shouted. The audience turned on me, telling me to fuck off. I told them to fuck off back, and asked loudly if Stooges records had yet to make it to Norway. Then I started getting pushed around by the band's crew and I threatened to batter every single one of them. At this point the bouncers dragged me kicking and spitting out onto the street, probably saving me a firm beating.

I heckled a rubbish fashion band in London a while ago. In a gap between songs I shouted: "This is horrible, horrible music." The band just looked really hurt. I felt awful.

My favorite gyb is " Play it again" It may not be appreciated. But the band laughs.

my rule of thumb is "One comment only because the band has microphones."

If a band or comedian or what have you sucks ass and there is no value to what I am witnessing at all I see no reason why I should not call them on it loudly.
When people heckle me or my band I just tell them to fuck off and go about my buisness, I could give a fuck.

I've not read all of the above in detail but what exactly does 'freebird' mean? I've heard it but don't understand it.

The heckle is an ironic request for the band to play the hold-lighters-aloft classic rock warhorse "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

"Freebird," you are tired.
