But that’s just the kind of generous, glass-half-full kind of person I am😀😉. A mis-spelling? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thodrik Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Buddy Guy. I used to have Danko Jones’ but lost that. That is it. Van Morrison’s guitarist threw a pic into the crowd at a gig I was at. If I had caught the pic I would probably thrown it back at Van Morrison’s head given how half arsed his performance was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly, his amp failed twice in a row. He said sod it put in everything fresh: replace amp, cab, cables, bass; the lot. Walked to the front of the stage, points angrily at bass, points at dude and shove the bass towards his face before turning round to fetch the spare one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sykilz Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I got Steve Vai's, caught it at the Astoria at the gig filmed for the DVD in 2001. It was mid set and he flicked it into the crowd and my hand just went up and came down full of Vai magic. 99 times out of 100 I would have dropped/missed it. So stuck it in a frame. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 IME plectrums and drumsticks given out to the audience during gigs are promotional tools that usually bear little resemblance to the ones actually used by the musicians in question.

Bassassin Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Was front row at a Steven Wilson gig a few years ago, right in front of Nick Beggs, which was nice. At the end he lobbed a handful of pluctrums at me (not sure if it was in appreciation or irritation) - I was minded to chuck them back at him, but I never. Think I've got three of them somewhere.

Totally, the drumsticks I got weren't from a concert but were given to me as a thank you by the drummer for a job. His signature was printed on them by Vic Firth and I suspect he doesn't even use them when gigging. I gave them to our drummer but he didn't like them.

bassbiscuits Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Only Francis Dunnery’s (It Bites and solo artist) plectrum from a house gig of his a few years back. It’s not even a personalised one tho - it’s just a Beatles Abbey Road one. I keep it in one my tins of knick knacks and hope it will bestow songwriting magic upon me whenever I’m struggling with ideas. I’ve yet to test that theory tho.
