ubit Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Man this brings back some memories for me. Why do drunk people think that everyone in the bar wants to hear them sing rather than the band? It happened to us so many times. Then there was the can I sing? Every time they were rotten and if you refused they got shirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 To be honest, I've experienced worse - from a professional (but excessively lubricated) singer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 We had this once at a gig, sound guy wrestled her off.Ā Ā She came over after we'd finished and was shouting at our singer, 'It's me! Sally from the top set!'. He had no idea what she was on about and it was a case of drunken mistaken identity. Ā Needless to say, we used it to our advantage and penned something called 'Top Set Sally'. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cetera Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) I HATEĀ anyone coming uninvited into the stage area. My worst one was back in my KISS tribute days at a gig in South Shields where a couple of drunken idiots got on a stage full of pyro and tried to sing along in the choruses. When they wouldn't leave, I stopped playing and left the stage, refusing to return until venue security did their job. We'd put upĀ "Warning, pyro!" notices either side of the stage but you can just bet that if one of those drunks blew their leg off it would be OUR fault....Ā Ā Shame, really..... would have served them right.... I love a bit of Darwinism.... Ā Edited September 27, 2021 by cetera 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I would also say that where I didn't like anyone using my microphone before covid, absolutely noone goes near it since. Ā I did have a woman who was trying to tell me (while I was singing and playing) something, then when I indicated I couldn't hear her as I had earphones in, actually pull my earphone out to yell that she didn't start whatever fight it was that was of no consequence on the other side of the pub. I was very unhappy about that. Ā I do always wonder about people who try and tell you something while you are singing and how they think peoples heads work, read also people that try to hand you a drink while you are playing a two handed instrument. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
