Funniest moment at a concert?

[Kris Kobain]

I have two

David Dramien from Disturbed was on stage and someone threw a shoe and it hit him. He was whining about it and said if anyone sees someone throw another shoe at him everyone should jump on them and beat thier ass. I yelled. "Qucik somebody throw anther shoe so he shuts up!" The people around me laughed because his rant was going past the 10 minute mark at that point.

I went with a couple friends to see Kris from The Ataris and he talked about how he was glad to be doing a show in Illinois because the night before he was in Indiana and all the "kids" were wearing girl jeans. (Basucly mocking the pseudo "emo" look)
Literally half the people that were on the floor walked out. Kris said "I should learn to shut the f*** up"

oh and another one

Foo Fighters/Weezer

For one Weezer brought some frat boy on stage to play Undone with them and he was being all cocky and singing into Rivers' mic. He tried to get fancy with the guitar and stepped on the cord and it came out. He kept playing and singing into Rivers' mic and Rivers cut him off and pretty much embarassed him by pointing out he unplugged his own guitar.

Also Dave was making fun of the other guitarist all night and being funny as usual. "You know you're having a bad night when even your guitar tech is over there going ahahahahahahaha!"
Anyway during Stacked Actors there was a fight and security got rough with one of the guys. This is what happened from there. This is all Dave speaking.

"Hey. Stop. Whoa Whoa Whoa. You guys need to take it easy on him." (security promptly lets the guy go)
"Hey dude. Sorry that you're getting kicked out. I'm even more sorry that you spent the last two and a half minutes getting your ass kicked by a guy twice your size. I'll tell you what. Stick around and I'll buy you shots after the show. Is that cool?"
Dave then goes on a little rant about peple on the floor need to be cool to each other and we're all here to have a good time and don't be pushing guys girlfriend''s around. That tends to make guys mad and they defend their girlfriend and they're the one who ends up getting kicked out.
So then Dave apologizes for his rant and says "Anyway. Where were we?"
Crowd:"Second verse"
Dave: "Oh yeah........um what's the second verse?"
Crowd starts yelling the words to him
Dave: "Ok that's pretty sad when the crowd knows our songs better than I do."

One time seeing a local metal band when they were opening for Nonpoint, the lead singer was running around the stage. Well he got tangled in the mic cord, tripped, and fell off the side of the stage in the middle of a song.

Next time I saw them, I yelled out "try not to fall off the f***ing stage tonight." He laughed his ass off and said he'd try his best

I don't think a lot of "funny ha-ha" things happened at the MC Chris/Horse The Band show I went to last night. Mostly I was just trying to play border patrol for the pit that broke out in this tiny ass club. But everyone once in a while, this super drunk guy would try to sneak into the pit (oddly enough wearing a shirt and tie as if he just got out of doing office work) only to be pulled out by one of the staff. I thought it was just because he looked like he was in a perpetual state of passing out because the staffer was just like "You OK? Calm down." Finally, after about the 4th or 5th time, the staffer pulled the guy out of the pit and pushed him to the back of the room, yelling at him "I f***ING TOLD YOU TO CALM DOWN! GET THE f*** OUT!" Plus the guy next to me found a pair of sandals sitting on the floor, meaning that someone in the pit was moshing barefoot. Ugh and ow.

Oh yeah, Horse The Band brought someone dressed up in a bear suit on stage. That was pretty funny.

Unfortunately, I ducked out early so I didn't get to see MC Chris, so I'm sure I missed a fair share of funny stuff right there.

At an ICP show a few years ago, between songs a Michael Jackson tune starts up (I think it was "Beat It" but I could be wrong) and all 300 or so pounds of Violent J dances out in a jacket and hat like MJ and is doing a perfect Jackson dance, takes his hat off and throws it then says "Oh wait, I ain't no faggoty ass child molestor"

I still kinda like the ICP (Out of my Juggalo phase) but that's just not funny to me.

Both of the Tenacious D shows I've been to. ;D

And for legit laughs, Eddie Vedder forgetting how to play Society for about 5 minutes because he was drinking/high was pretty funny, especially his banter about it. Oh, and watching anarchist fans at the Against Me! show in the pit turning their backs as the band was playing and chanting that the band sucked when they came out for their encore was pretty amusing in retrospect. Well, you paid for the $12 tickets, boys, so you're still supporting the band. Nice going.

I cant remeber the name of the band but they were the opening band on a four band club show and in the middle of one of their songs the singer stuck out the microphone for the crowd to sing along and we all looked at him like he was an idiot because nobody knew who they were or what their songs were.

[DiBiase is Good]

I wasn't at the concert but I have to mention Simon LeBon's bum note at Live Aid.


I love Duran Duran and I realise it could happen to any singer when they're performing live.
But at that point they were the biggest band in the world in the biggest concert the world had ever seen, so everyone heard that note and it was funny.

During my U2 show last year, The Edge screwed up the start of "In a Little While"... twice.

I'm pretty sure I was there with you, but not sure who the band was. I remember something like that happening when Dragon Force was opening for Sevendust and Killswitch Engage, but I'm pretty sure you weren't there.

Limp Bizkit opening for Helmet and Korn back around '97-'98, they got a little bit of laughter & applause for their cover of "Faith" but were booed unmercifully the rest of the time and walked off the stage after 4 or 5 songs.

At an ICP concert in 2001, during "Ain't Nuthin But A B**** Thang", they had some chicks come on stage with them and hold up "B****" signs in sync with the song's chorus. Then, during "Please Don't Hate Me," I think they were dancing with "Marital Aids"

(Admittedly, I had somewhat of a contact high from all of the Weed being smoked, so there's a good chance none of this was actually funny)

At Big Day Out 2005, during The Hives set, Pele Almquist asked the audience how they were feeling. He then told everyone in the audience to "raise their right hand". Everyone did. Then Pele said "Now, Slap yourself in the face!". Half the audience lowered their hands while the other half slapped themselves in the face. Pele then said "Now, don't you feel better?" before playing the next song.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

I was at the Sound Relief charity concert in Sydney last year, and Coldplay were the opening act. As they were in the middle of the last song of their set, "Fix You", Chris Martin runs off into the crowd. The funny part is that he couldn't get back on stage to finish the song!

So the rest of the band play the rest of the song (the crowd sings it perfectly, which is just as funny in my opinion), then wait for Chris to get back on, and THEN play the end all over again. You can hear Chris almost laugh as he sings the rest of the song.



Towards the end, from about 5 minutes in.

Saw Taproot years ago (actually, this may have been my first concert). The lead singer hopped off stage and was kinda walking around the venue (really small one) while singing. He ended up going upstairs to the balcony area. During the bridge of the song, he climbed over the rail, which is over the pit, and goes, "You guys gonna catch my fat ass?" and jumped. They caught him...I just thought the line was funnier than hell.


And I always feel bad/chuckle a bit when you see a larger woman go to crowd surf and everyone kinda backs away.
