steve-bbb Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 i always feign plenty of coughing and spluttering m obviously not the only one who cant stand them and i thinks the stuff smells absolutely vile thankfully ours doesnt get used so much now since our singist lost her voice mid gig on one occasion as a result of the aforementioned rogue machinery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 We did a spectacular album launch many years back and hired in fancy lighting and an industrial sized smoke machine....the only snag was the wired remote for the smoke machine was nowhere near long enough to reach the lighting desk.....our lighting guy / roadie / drinking buddy said he could just nip to the side of the stage give it a quick squirt at the end of a song giving us some nice smoke for the following song....this worked wonderfully for the first 3 or 4 songs until he eventually pushed the lock button in his haste to get back to the desk, over the next couple of minutes everything disappeared into a thick fog, we had to stop playing, cue a little voice at the front of stage "sorry I think I F**ked it up". Took about 15 minutes for the smoke to thin enough to resume playing....one of those wonderful Spinal Tap moments in my gigging career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbandit599 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Great story Roger, as was Icastle's one earlier. It's these kind of random things that make me almost more inclined to get the old 'guff bucket' going again. I like the potential for a little unintentional anarchy...
