I've seen my share of wierd things onstage. Wu-Tan inciting a riot, a streaker at a graduation ceremony, a preacher cussing backstage picked up by his wireless lavalier (which was on), a drunken girlfriend or wife comming up to a bass player onstage and smacking him during the show, etc.. But here is the Craziest thing I have ever seen at a gig!
Most Soundfolks don't believe me when I tell them this story, but I swear it is true! Here is the strangest thing I have ever witnessed onstage.
I once saw a guitar player TURN DOWN! I swear it true!!! Can you believe it??? I'm not lying! Crazy, isn't it!
Funny thing is, no Soundfolks belive me. They all think I was halucinating, or just plain lying. But I know what I saw! He actually grabbed the knob of the Marshall, and turnd it down from 11 to 10! I swear on my old trusty SM57. (The one with the broken cap)
You don't believe me either, do you?
If I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes, I wouldn't believe it myself.
