Really wild and outrageous behaviours

[droopsnoot]

Like you with Steeley Dan I wasn't an Aswad fan either although they did gain my respect after that and they put on a very good show and i was left impressed.

I quite like some Steely Dan stuff, if I'm feeling mellow enough.

yeah good catch i corrected my post and added a bit more but missed on the cross over of posts. I must admit i haven't heard anyone else say they was at that gig before and going by the album it was a really good one to be at so cool post

Yep this is a fairly small place about 2,000 capacity and no barriers back then the audience would be pushed up against the stage. I don't remember any problems for JJ getting into the crowd he just jumped down into it and moved his way over to the singing.

I loved Hugh sarcasm and cutting comments it was all what was expected back then and audiences were always delighted by it. It felt like part of the act and if he never did it on the encores then it was a little disappointing. Encores was always a treat. There is that "Evening With Hugh" which is good fun to listen to on the B side that escapes me for the moment that would be good to hear again i only have got it on Vinyl so haven't listened to that for years and years.

I remember another incident and that was at Finsbury Park when Madness played there and Morrisssey got heckled off stage i think someone threw a full plastic bottle at him. He wrapped this union Jack flag around him as a sarcastic taunt at the skinheads and they took exception and started verbally abusing him and bottles got thrown in which one was a direct hit. Morrissey left the stage and didnt return. I have heard lots of comments on the Internet about that incident which never validated against my memory as most say he did a 45 minute set before he left i dont remember that at all it was more like 4 songs then he left. I was a little disappointed as i was interested in seeing him do his solo work to see what he was like so that was spoilt a bit but it was not as bad as the reports made out to my memory he certainly did not have coins thrown at him like some reports were saying.

Its worth saying also lots of bottle throwing was happening all day and it felt like at the time Morrisey was being a lovey snowflake and made more of it than was needed.

Yeah he's a bit of a miseryguts, no?
But glass bottles being thrown is kind of dangerous.

Plastic

Oh. Plastic, I was thinking glass bottles were more common than plastic then, but I am very relieved to know that it was plastic being pegged, rather than glass. Wow.

The messages about bodily fluids in bottles reminded me of something that might be classed as wild and outrageous, and here i was thinking that there was nothing wild or outrageous I had ever encountered. But I almost did.


Back in 2004, there was this metal event, called Furyfest, in Le Mans. On the way there, we passed a Triumph store, so I made my friend (always with a camera, no cameras in phones back then) take a pic and when it was developed (remember, developing pics at the pharmacy???), I sent it to JJ (remember putting stuff in envelopes and sending it via Royal Mail?!?!!?) and next time we crossed paths he told me he had received it and had actually biked past there himself recently. But that is neither the wild nor outrageous behaviour.

I am off track here. Get it, it was in Le Mans, the racing place, off track, haha!
Anyway, back on track, the crowd was really wild because this band called Slipknot was headlining and they thought they should not be headlining, as they were too commercial. So a bunch of boys/men/manboys collected a bunch of bottles and wee-ed in them and yeah, you can imagine the rest.
This is an article about it:

The sad thing was that I already left on the Eurostar to go home, as I was kind of tired of all that metal. So I didn't actually witness it, but what can you do?

Oh and the Buzzcocks are playing at the festival this year, just it is renamed Hellfest, but someone should warn them because what if the punters are mad that they are not a metal band and then start wee-ing in bottles? Oh my gosh, Steve and those white pants, laundry nightmare.

That is so socially off, like picking the tomatoes out of someone's salad and eating them right in front of their face or something. Yuk.

You think that's bad?

Didn't Ariana Grande go into a bakery and pick up a doughnut then lick it and put it back. Now that is proper rock n roll.

The fact that that story must have been reported, that you know about it and you still remember it to re-tell is sadly quite scary.

Is she gluten free or something? Maybe she couldn't actually eat the doughnut but likes the glaze?

Thats hilarious and very presumptious of you which isnt surprising at all

Yeah i have a young daughter and i take an interest in her and her interests .

So we sat down the other day and watched Wicked and i said to her i thought Ariana was very good in it and not how i thought she would be, my daughter then told me that story in which we both laughed about it so i thought i would mention it now and try to be amusing.

I would rather do that than try and influence her and put my own likes and habits on to her i like her to grow up to be her own person an individual without my own likes thrusted on to her. Shes not a Stranglers fan of course she just hears me playing them i want her to live the life she was born into and not in to an antiquated band and music that was my time

I hope that relieves your fears a bit and I will be presumptions now and say you should lighten up a bit waffle and maybe get out more so you get to see beyond your Stranglers nose.

Anyone trying to take glass bottles of booze into Reading 1983 was made to decant it into plastic containers. It's as if they knew it wouldn't take long before someone wanted to throw one.

Looking at her, it doesn't seem as if she's ever consumed that much sugar in one go. She can probably get through the hole in the middle if she breathes in.

Maybe it was a sucralose or xylitol covered doughnut?

What makes people want to throw drinks, anyway? Are they done with the main and it's only the dregs? But that post from the Glasgee feline gig had some mention of the dregs being the best, so what's the deal? Are they practicing for the next season of cricket, maybe? Is it some ancient Anglo/Saxon/Celtic/Gaelic rite that has been resurrected? Is it Live Excerpt that has Hugh thanking the crowd the throwing the drinks and explaining that they have enough?
