1. Queensryche/Dream Theater 2003 - Fleetcenter Pavillion

During Queensryche's set, singer Geoff Tate decides to introduce one of their songs.

Geoff: You know, we're from Seattle...
Crowd: BOOOOOOO!
Geoff (looking confused): which is also known as The Jet City
Crowd: YAY!
(band goes into Jet City Woman)

This is what happens your core metalhead audience pretty much considers you to be the only good band to ever come out of Seattle.

2. Iron Maiden/Dio/Motorhead 2003 - Worcester, MA

Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson berated a stoner in the front row for a good minute and a half, complete with fake coughing. It was just really fun to hear Bruce tear into this guy.

3. KISS/Poison 2004 - Mansfield, MA

Paul Stanley: We're originally from New York...
Crowd (very loudly): BOOOOOOO!
Paul Stanley: But we always love coming to Boston
Crowd: YAY!

It was summer and it was the height of baseball season. And when you make Massachusetts residents choose between their sacred oath to the KISS Army or their loyalty to the Red Sox Nation, the Red Sox are gonna win out every time.

Fozzy 2003 - The Spectrum, Montreal

Jericho: So everyone's got their copy of Happenstance right?
Crowd: *silence*
Jericho: It's ok to lie. Everyone's got their copy of Happenstance right?
Crowd: YEAH!!!

I watched a video of Nickelback in Portugal, where they asked "Who here wants to here us rock?" and everyone booed. Then he asked if there were any Nickelback fans, and everyone went quiet. Then they started playing a song and a water bottle flew in and hit Chad in the face and they stormed off.

Guns 'N Roses 2002

When Axl was introducing the new GNR lineup, Buckethead came out swinging nunchucks. I don't know - it was funny.

Theres heavy metal fest here each year. For some reason they booked pos KISS wannabe band called LORDI. It's know for its tasteless over-the-top masking and pyroshows that have astronomical bills.

Anyway on that special event, when they played the Pyrotech jammed up, emitting pitiful fart of fireball and the shitty mechanized demon wings on singer back malfunctioned causing other wing to spread in-out like the guy was having seizure and other wing did nothing.

Also Kiss/Poison 2004 - Mansfield, MA
Poison comes out for their encore and starts playing "Every Rose Has it's Thorn" but then stops after about 20 seconds.
Audience: BOOOOOOOOOO!
Bret Michaels: What, one of my strings broke? Shit happens.

#edit: Oh yeah, a roadie ran out with a new guitar and he started over. And the boos turns to cheers.

It reads a bit like Engrish.

Last Week i went to a show and the singer of the band tagged me and my friends as being member of his guitarist's gay fanclub, because the song was about the place where i live (aka Lac St-Jean) and his guitarist who's from that place too, so we begin to shout the guitarist name just before the beginning of the song like crazies and the singer was totally broken by our savage scream ! Smile

the rest of the show was also crazy...

ok its not a internationnal known band BUT its still REALLY funny

definitely, seeing Trent Reznor into a closed arena with a scarf around his neck for the second part of the Québec's show was totally amazing. that was the first and last show he did in his whole life wearing a fuckin' scarf. it was kind of funny for the nin-fan community, like on ETS.

TRENT WEAR SCARF HAHA FUNNY.
Nah dude, I'm just messing with you. Does anyone have any pics of any of this, though? It sounds pretty awesome. How did he look with a scarf, anyway? Stupid, or stupid?

That also sound totally fucking great. Needless to say, if you're a Nickelback fan, you probably don't exist, especially in Portugal.

Lordi just won Eurovision.

Primus

Some guy throws some weed up on stage during a song. After the song is over, Les Claypool walks over to it and picks it up. Les goes into this hilarious speech about how although he would like to partake of this substance, we have a very efficient media, and if he were ever to run for president this would surely come back to him. The guitarist walks up and grabs it from him, and goes, "I'll take care of this." He pockets it, they instantly go into the next song, which was totally rockin'.

Buckethead was also at this show, which was cool.

I went to one of my mates bands shows, and he said this next one goes out to Brock (me) and all the other losers out there, I threw up the horns and said "That's me!", their lead singer gave a belated, snide and cynical "...yeah..." in my direction, I shouted "take the stick outta your ass and play more than two strings, prick". Everyone got a laugh outta it but him.

I remember when Phil Anselmo, in a drunk and possibly heroin-induced stupor, attempted to give a speech on pride and why the confederate flag is okay to fly, etc. etc. followed by the resounding cheers of the racist morons around me, supporting him. I found that amusing.

Yeah,.. That piece of shit won the Eurovision. Finnish taxpayers got to give nice 15 million euros worth of worldwide advertisement to those shitheads. Thnx Lordi. And on top of that were stuck with the fact that were going to host next Eurovision. Loosen up those wallets taxpayers, it's rip-off time !

Posted: May 23 2006 11:00 am

hey man, i just listen to some Lordi material, yes indeed its not "original" like Kiss or even Rob Zombie, but their sound and music are really great, good Ol' Hard Rock Music with a good thematic (yes i love monster Smile

). It is commercial like hell but who give a shit, even if you didn't get fucked (or ass-rapped) by music industry and showbizzness, bands have to promote themselve to earn their wages... (only stubborn trve black-metaller think that commercialism is bad anyway..)

The good point of the Eurovision 2006 contest winner !!

-> Heavy Metal band won for the first time a Pop-Shit Contest
-> a Greek organisation accused them of being and promote sanatist/m (yeah the good old devil will corrupt your soul and take it back to hell..)
-> Their costumes are awesome, i wish to get one like these
-> They are Warcraft Fans !!!

Yes it IS nice to see that non-pop band or ireland won

Of course you're accused of provoking satanism by appearence, acts etc. Hell even Madonna hit it below bible-belt when she was cruxified on stage

Their costumes are fucking ridicilous, and believe me I havbe seen and experience one big load of ridicilous shit in my life.

What the fuck does Warcraft have to do with this ?!

Posted: Jun 01 2006 12:25 pm

For the record, in America the "bible-belt" is what us secular northerners refer to a large part of the deep south as. Has nothing to do with anything, but since it's clearly not what you were talking about it makes your statement read in a more entertaining way.

Foo Fighters/Queens of the Stoneage: 2001? Maybe they blur together...SYRACUSE,NY

Nothing funny was said but the bassist for QOTSA walked across naked while the FF's played...guess a year later he got arrested in Brazil or something for the same thing.

Van Halen in Vancouver 2004- Alex finishes his drum solo, and everyone's cheering, then after the cheering dies down, he's like "c'mon, you guys don't see that shit everyday, give it up!" then we all started cheering again
