Hey, I thought it would be cool if people would post their fave rock story on this board. Preferably true stories but cool and funny stories that turned out to be only rumours or lies are also welcome. Here's one of my favourite true stories: One day Syd Barrett appeared at the recording studio with a new song which he called "Have You Got It Yet". As he taught the other Pink Floyd members the song he was changing the chords each time they played it through (hence the title!) making it impossible for them to learn it. Even though Syd obviously acted like an asshole I can’t help finding that story hilariously funny
axl rose was slamming the microphone stand around on stage and cut the shit out of his arm thats funny.
the only words to the song were "Have you got it yet?" and when one of the other members finally answered "yes i've got it!" Syd left the band for good. haha, kinda sad.... myself, I like the multiple stories of Liam and Noel getting into arguements on stage throughout the 90s, with Liam acting like a child and walking off the stage before the show ended.
I've always thought the good ol' Mayhem stories were hilarious. Dead blowing his head off.. his suicide note saying "Pardon all the blood". Euronymus walks in, finds the body with the head exploded everywhere, and does what any logical being would do.. eat the brains and make a necklace out of the skull fragments. Anything in the name of being "tr00". Then there wast the time that Dead couldn't sleep because Euronymous was blasting Kraftwerk at 4 in the morning. So Dead gets up, goes in the woods, and shoots birds.
Heres one for ya, a classic from the 70s At a Black Sabbath show, last night of the tour Dio and the band thought it would be great fun to de-pants the tours producer onstage and hoist him above the drum set. They rigged the harness and during the guitar solo Geezer, Dio, and Bill Ward drag the promoter out for a round of applause from the crowd. When the producer waves to the crowd, they grab him and yank his trousers to his knees while strapping him into the harness. As he is lifted above the band they keep hold of his pants and shorts, stripping him nude from the waist down. The band picks up the song and finishes Heaven and Hell while the guy swings "freely" above them. Bill Ward notices he is really red faced and may be passing out, so he stops the tune and the guy is lowered, not wanting to give anyone a heart attack. Once down, the promoter says he wasnt passing out, he was trying to take a dump on the band from above! "If I could have, I would have laid a steamer right onto the drums, you bastards!" he joked. Those fans got waaaay more than they expected that night.
