Accidents at festivals.

<< < (4/4)

Mister Ash:
I went to see Deftones at thee Apollo in Manchester, Taproot were supporting and the vocalist decided to stagedive off the blacony... but his big boots cracked one of the security guards (who were there to help catch him) right on the head...  he had to go to hospital with a serious concussion

tetsuotheironboy:
woah, this is freaky, i was at that exact same show. If i'm right it was the 2nd night they played in manchester after the first apollo gig sold out. That was my first ever concert when i was 16! Deftones kicked some serious ass that night, i think i even have the cheap t-shirt i got the night after that show. The taproot incident was funny, i remember him making some comment about needing to lose weight. Ahhh memories...the only downside being the presence of linkin park on the billing, needless to say they were unimpressive to the point where i suspected some serious miming on their part. How could such a new band in an arena with sound quality as god awful as the apollo sound so crisp otherwise.....hmmm....did u see deftones the last time they played there with amplifier as the support act? they were even better. Also seen tool (2001 lateralus tour), weezer (2002 postponed green album tour) and muse (2002 origin of symmetry tour) at the same place. :) sorry to ramble on like that, its just freaky talking to someone who went to that gig on an american indie based message board.

Mister Ash:
I was at that Muse Tour too!

Pinkin lark really did SUCK ASS that night... to stage presance at all.. just on-sing-off

the wait for deftones was unbareably long too (chanting Chino chino chino between running to the bar for drinks was fun tho)

i don't think i should even say this, but i'm wearing that t-shirt right now...

Tho i've gotta say the best part about that gig was meeting my tobe girl friend... she was awesome.. i miss her...

*still needs to steal the drum sticks my friends caught at the end of the gig*

so many memories..  it was awesomely kickass!
