Deadly Beer Bottle

[SoSaysJames]

a beer bottle was tossed at the band during their performance at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. I don't remember which song it was during, but the band didn't react, thankfully.

Which one of you bastards threw it?

[Ghosts_on_TV]

I did.

I actually don't think the beer bottle was thrown, but instead it wanted to get on stage like the rest of us...

at the end of the show as the band were waving to the crowd someone (creep) threw a cup of beer at the stage.  it hit tt-tom on the shoulder, spilling beer on him.

i was in the pit at the greek so i remember this really clear.

cripes, what kind of dick lobs ANYTHING at the stage?

i'm getting all worked up just remembering this.  pfft.

Is this where I can plead my "for the love of god, no glowstix on NYE" case?

Tommy should have jumped out into the crowd like Ron Artest and kicked his ass!! ;)

Actually, I've never understood the idiots that throw stuff at the stage.  Back in '86 I saw David Lee Roth actually stop the show to call a guy out for hitting him with something.  I saw Chris Robinson do the same thing.  I actually commend them for it but it does set a tone for the Vibe of the show.  

But I have also seen it work the other way (although only this once).  I was at an Aerosmith show back 89 or so and the opening band was Skid Row.  Someone apparently threw something at Sebastian Bach, so that jerkoff took a swig off a glass pint of whiskey and whipped it into the front row about 15 feet from me.  He hit some innocent girl in the face and I later found out she required plastic surgery.  

Glowsticks are pretty bad but I understand that in Europe its common to piss in empty water bottles and hurl those around at concerts.

Pearl Jam, Boston 1998.  Someone threw a quarter and hit Ed.  Followed by one of his best rants ever.  F-bombs were a' flying.  Classic.

This should not be construed as me thinking winging items on stage where a performer could get hurt is ever cool.

The only thing I've ever tossed on stage was a pair of panties on the stage when seeing Neil Diamond in the round.  ;)

Maybe MMJ should play behind some chicken-wire? Ye haw!

Like in The Blues Brothers.

Classic.

I would not mind hearing Raw Hide, or Stand By Your Man,... or Gimmie Some Lovin- done by the Jacket on new years- it would all be spectacular

Speaking of throwing things at bands....

Perhaps strongest case for Portugal in the "Greatest Country in the World" Competition.

God love the ALady. I'll never forget those two idiots who lobbed glowsticks pretty hard at the Louisville show.  One hit TT, the other hit Jim in the neck as he was playing omnichord.  Way to show your love for the band, weiners!

Maybe if you throw your coat on stage, Jim will toss his cape back at you.

That would totally be a fair trade.  ;)

Someone threw a beer on stage at Philly. Man, thats like throwing a $20 bill up there... maybe they were just repulsed by the HORRIBLE TASTE OF MILLER LITE.

[drewsdad27us]

I remember at the Myrtle Beach show some jerks throwing bottles from the second story into the crowd. It was during 'one big holiday'. I was surprised at the idiocy of it all and would have had them kicked out for sure, then charged with battery if someone was hurt.

Agreed!

[EgoTesticle]

The only thing that should be thrown on stage EVER .... is panties.

Case closed.
