Singers/bands in bad moods @ concerts ????

[BigLee770]

Hi everyone, i was just wondering if anyone would like to relate any stories of concerts they've been to (say in the last 5 years), where its been blatantly obvious there's been friction in the band - (maybe an argument or something just before they came on stage) and its totally noticeable or there's just not a good vibe. My own personal experience was at the Eagles concert in Belfast last year. Something had obviously happened backstage b'cos when they came out every other member seemed to put on a brave face but Joe Walsh was in a terrible mood. For the first half of the concert he didn't interact wit the audience like the way the others did, he messed up his lines in "guilty of the crime", and missed his guitar cue. However after the interval he was fine, he picked up and got into it a bit moreso. It didn't spoil the night for me and have to say the band exceeded my expectations but i was just wondering if anyone else ever had a similar experience. - (Makes me think of how the audience would have reacted in the Fleetwood Mac shows (i think in New Zealand), years ago before my time, when they all weren't gettin on and Lindsey mimicked Stevies twirling and then walked over and kicked her !!???) ....

I gotta come out and say it: I seriously wished that thing of Lindsey imitating Stevie on stage had been caught on camera.

That aside, I can't think of anything, but at my Unleashed show last June, I was having a big problem with a lady in front of me, who got drunk before the show, decided to take out her Sidekick, and "take pictures" by waving her phone around directly in my field of vision. I was ready to snap it over my knee, but other than that, I never saw any of that.

I wish Christine slapping him and dumping her glass of wine on his face was caught on camera. He deserved that.

In the Rumours in Japan Doc. we get to see Chris drunk and we see her throw the wine from her glass into Mick's face. Is that just as good?

There was a Kings of Leon show fairly recently, one of the major festivals in the UK I think it was, where Caleb got pretty p.o. at the crowd not being as into it as he felt they should have been. There was professional video of it, I think, and someone took the liberty of editing it into this video, which I personally find hysterical.



The thing about this is while I don't like the idea of band members dressing down huge crowds of people, especially when it's such a generalized statement, when it comes to people only showing up to Kings of Leon shows to hear "Sex on Fire", I kinda agree. Oops.

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall backstage in Madison on the SYW tour in '04, after Ray Lindsey delivered guitar after guitar to Lindsey on stage that didn't meet his satisfaction. The tension was pretty thick.

Lets hope Lindsey didn't slam the guitar over Ray's poor head, even though we know that Lindsey often resorts to violence when things don't go his way.

almost. I just want to see him get his comeuppance for what he did. The Rumours footage is just funny, I'd love to get drunk with Chris!
