Bought a curly lead in the '90's after watching Brian May using one and thinking what a good idea to stop knots in the cable.
First gig with it.
I plugged it into my amp but did not wrap it around the amp handle , Ran to front of stage and the cable under tension shot out like a bullet to Hit the Lead singer on the back of the head which made him lurch forward and hit his mouth on the mic and bust his lips, Blood everywhere, down his shirt, on the floor.
Looked pretty cool for a punk band!
