Norris Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Anyone got one or had one? We have a young lady and her mother coming to our gig tonight. They saw us at our last gig and there was a little bit of banter. They are now both travelling a fair distance to tonight's gig on the bus. Yesterday the daughter sent 8 messages to our Facebook page - she is so excited, and included a bit of innuendo. She wants to take some photos of the band and give us them on a thumb drive. There have also been hints that they might be struggling to get home afterwards - although no direct request for a lift yet. Needless to say neither will be stepping into any of our cars and they won't be getting any addresses to send the thumb drive to. Those alarm bells are ringing loud and clear! Should be an interesting evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'd say the red flags are fluttering with a vengance. Avoid! Unless they're hot, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepurpleblob Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 ....and all this is a problem because? I can certainly tell you some stories from bands I've been in. Our old lead singer used to get propositioned all the time - usually not very subtly. Never happened to me but them I'm somewhat visually offensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Normally, I'd attempt some flippant and mildly amusing reply but to be honest, this sounds like a situation to be avoided at all costs. Sort of made even worse as her mother is seemingly going along with the plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 How times have changed. Back in the day band members would queue up for a mother/daughter threesome in the back of the band van. Or so I'm told... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 The mother is actually hotter than the daughter We don't mind enthusiastic fans, and back in the day we might not have been quite so concerned. However this pair have got all of us hearing alarm bells. The phrase bunny boiler springs to mind - and of course we are all responsible men of the 21st century with partners and children to consider. Luckily being the ugly bass player sometimes has its advantages. The babe-magnet guitarist is going to have some more adroit side-stepping to do this evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfrasho Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 In my experience some people are just a bit mad and get into things a bit too much. As long as a sensible distance is kept then I'm not sure what the problem is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Slightly OT, we have a few fans who come to see our show regularly, all over the UK. Two are couples and there are a few single guys and ladies as well, all have been to over 100 of our gigs. Some may think it's a bit crazy, but as someone previously pointed out above, who knows how their lives pan out and what makes them happy? They are all paying customers too, and I for one am just grateful they think we're worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewDad Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) I'd caution against casting aspersions.

gjones Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Bands I've been in, over the years, have had their fair share of stalkers. One liked us so much, she moved over the road from a venue we had a weekly residency in. She had a thing for me and kept on trying to entice me over to hers after the gig for a 'party'. Eventually she realised it wasn't going to happen and she got the environmental health out to try to shut the venue down, due to noise pollution. Another was a guy who offered to be our roadie. I knew he was a nutter but the singer, whose band it was, overruled me and got him to take us to a few gigs in his van. To cut a long story short, it ended up with death threats, the guy covered in blood dressed in a kilt and a police manhunt. These days, I can see them coming a mile away and make sure I keep well clear. Edited August 25, 2017 by gjones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painy Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 About 20 years ago (when we were all still in our late teens) a lady who I'd guess was probably in her mid fifties would always be at all of our gigs at a particular venue and would constantly try to flirt with our (slightly terrified) drummer. Eventually she obviously couldn't contain her lust any more and at one gig chased him around his kit 3 times before catching him and trying to stick her tongue down his throat. She then proceeded to describe to him how she fantasised about him every time she had sex with her husband. He has since emigrated first to Australia and now to Canada although I'm not sure if this was in an attempt to get away from her or not.

BrunoBass Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 For a while we had a very attractive blonde lady show up at a lot of our gigs. She would stand about a metre or so in front of our singer and dance quite provactivly right in front of him. He didn't know where to look! The lady in question was as I say very attractive, so much so that if you'd encountered her in a social setting you'd be interested enough to talk to her with the hope that it might possibly go somewhere, however there was something about the look in her eye when she was dancing in front of us that made us all want to steer clear, and in the case of our singer actually hide in the gents until she'd left, on one occasion.

bazzbass Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 my ex's friend used to stalk a local musician really badly crazy woman. He had to run away from her at gigs. She'd follow him everywhere, poor bastard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 As expected, the daughter was pretty full on last night, especially once she was tanked up. It went beyond innuendo. The landlady came to our rescue somewhat by hanging around chatting with us after paying us, so that we could finish packing without too much harassment. Eventually their taxi turned up. We're hoping that if they have to rely on public transport the novelty will soon wear off. It's funny how you can spot them. They've only recently "discovered" us and have only been to a couple of gigs so far. However we could very quickly tell. I've suggested that maybe the guitarist's partner poses as one of our Facebook page admins and reply to the message thread (4 post-gig messages from her last night!) and gently nip it in the bud Some people eh? What is strange is that the girl is 26. I'm the youngest in the band at 51, the guitarist who is the main object of her affection turns 60 this year!

thepurpleblob Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 It must be just me... as long as I don't end up with a knife in my back I quite enjoy the odd nutter. It's a change from my otherwise quiet day to day existence. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
