Wildest thing you’ve ever seen at a concert?

Marilyn Manson fingering his own a-hole. 2001, House of blues New Orleans, Right up front.

I didnt say I enjoyed it. But its probably the most odd shite I've seen at a show.

Rammstien. Those frickers were nuts

Isaac Brock yelling into the crowd looking for a knife mid song, someone hands him one, he then proceeds to cut his forearm and bleed. I believe this was back in 2001 or so.


Oh, and I just remembered this… back in ‘99 I went to some all day concert at the woodlands amphitheater, it was a tour with smash mouth, buck cherry and lenny kravitz. Lol. Anyway, by the time Lenny kravitz came on as the sun went down people had obviously been drinking all day and were hammered. Mid way through the set some drunk fat black dude stumbles into our general area where there were actual seats. This wasnt up in the lawn seating area. So this ol fat bastard pulls out his pecker, and just starts pissing like he thinks he’s in front of a urinal.

Sometime in the early-mid 90s, RFTC was playing the old Howlin' Wolf... Some drunk dude was slam dancing by himself, while everyone else was just trying to enjoy the show... John Reis tells him to knock it off a few times, but the guy keeps on... Finally, mid song, Speedo jumps off the stage.. grabs the dude by the hair/back of neck and walks him all the way to the front door... takes cash out of the doorman's hand, stuffs it in the guys shirt pocket and throws him out the front door... Walks back up to the stage, picks up his guitar and says "Sorry about that" and then they just start rocking, right where they left off... It was awesome!

I saw some drunken/high clown fall off the first balcony in the old Chicago Stadium right before ELO took the stage in 1978.

Thankfully he didn't land on anyone and just landed on the walkway.

At real concerts, in the crowd just titties and fights. On stage, I saw Paul Gilbert of Mr. Big get his hair caught in a drill. Absolute Spinal Tap moment. They were opening for Rush in 1990 in Atlanta.

At one of my shows (cover bar band bassist), there was this old baw really dirty dancing in front of the stage for a few songs. There were about 40 or 50 people there and it was a fun night. All the sudden, baw lays old girl down on the front of our stage face down, pulls her pants down, then starts to pull his down to go to town on her. Luckily some of the folks in the bar got them up and out of there. Was pretty wild.

At a metal show at the HOB early 2000s, my friends and I were in front of the mosh pit by the rails near the stage.

If you know how those go, there might be ~5 rows of people between stage and the pit and on the back row you're constantly getting bumped/hit/etc.

My friend keeps getting grabbed from behind and we look behind him and it's a girl holding onto his shoulders with a guy behind her just going to pound town. Good times.

There was a couple actually having sex in front of me at GnR at Superdome during November Rain.

Jazzfest WSP it was raining so bad. A dude came up without his pants on and stood by us for way too long. There is a photo of it somewhere.

1. GWAR New Year's Eve show at the old Masquerade in Atlanta. It was a three level club. Downstairs they had some techno joint that was throwing some kind of "Fred and Ginger" night and there was a bunch of folks in tuxes and frilly white cocktail dresses. A couple of these came upstairs just as the GWAR chick karate kicked a guy with a giant OJ Simpson head in the face, causing orange juice to spray all over the crowd. A few soaked Fred and Gingers ran screaming from the scene.

2. DRI - went with a friend who was a fan. Some german group I'd never heard of was supposed to be on the ticket, but cancelled last minute. This left a large group of pissed off nazi skinheads occupying the area around the stage and beating the piss out of anyone who came near them. Some dude decided to climb up the stage from the side and stage-dive into these fruitcakes, who naturally let him faceplant into the floor and then proceeded to kick the hades out of him. He gets carried out. Half an hour later, the same guy limps back in on crutches and makes a beeline for the fourth reich, who once again beat the piss out of him and then basically go after everyone else in the place. I'm not sure DRI finished the set, but I didn't stick around to find out.

3. Slayer - the crowd picked up a dude in his wheelchair and crowd surfed him all across a hockey arena. It cracked up the band enough to pause playing.

Late 90s, House of Blues for the Cash Money Records concert (don't ask...) celebrating some milestone event in how much money they had made.


Last song of the show was the poetic "Back That arse Up," and the rappers invited girls to come dance on stage. They pulled down the pants of one girl, and she was down for this. She then proceeded to follow the instructions given in the song, and we all got a show for it. Then the rappers were spanking her arse on stage, and THEN one of them decided to take it a step further and hid some of his fingers in the lady pocket. This was when she decided it was too far and a complete violation of her womanhood, and she angrily ran off stage pulling up her pants.

Show ends and theres a ruckus going on with people freaking out. Apparently girl had a boyfriend who did not appreciate the rappers going where only he is allowed, so he left and came back in with a gat. Thankfully there were cops at this show, and they reacted fast before any shots were fired. It was pretty intense.
