So I know that some folks around here are gigging right now or at least have played gigs in the past so there has to be some awesome stories from playing shows at places. We started getting into this in another thread but I have a particularly good story that just happened a few hours ago.
We just played a gig down in Seattle in the Pioneer Square area at a killer bar called Doc Maynards (check it out if you're in the area and into rock or metal). The gig went really well as opposed to the last gig we did in Tacoma which was an abortion. So we went off through our set and at our slower song I see someone run up to the stage wearing a wide brimmed hat and a white shirt, then all the sudden the guy is posing in front of us and giving people his camera to take pictures of us while he does the thumbs up and peace sign. In the back of my mind I sort of imagined it being some crazy drunk person but it turns out that it was an Asian tourist who was having a grand ole time and one of my friends who was in attendance snapped a photo of him after she took a picture with his camera.
The photo is grainy and some people might be sceptical as to why he looks so different from us, but I can assure you that it is legit. I'm doing my best cousin it impression while playing on my white Jackson Rhoads. The pickups in it are starting to grow on me! The other guitar player unfortunately went to the dark side and just recently bought an ESP LTD DV8.
If that wasn't enough, during the band after us two elderly folks came in, one put his head down and just started moving his arms around to the metal and the other one started doing senior citizen water aerobics... Waving her arms all around like a windmill and then doing the twist. It was quite amusing!
So lets here it... Where are the gig stories!?
