just saw interpol yesterday and, at some point, they had to stop the gig because the drummer was...sick... eventually he came back and they managed to finish the concert... still, how more embarrassing can it get to have such sickness onstage !!

oh, and the bassist also had to leave the stage to throw up... but that is more usual...

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Saturday, 20 November 2004 14:32 (twenty-one years ago)

G.G. Allin was kind enough to keep the gig going in these situations.

Dammit when these people OD I want the good paying customers to get their money's worth!

I remember reading about some soul diva advising some younger singer to eat mainly mashed potatoes to avoid precisely such a situation, but I am not aware of the efficacy of this practice.

That's what I was going to say until something else distracted me.

Who was it, Bob Stinson? Who tucked his pants into his boots and just shat away.

Could've been D. Boon, now that I think about it.

^^^Mike Watt duct-taped his jumpsuit around the ankles and tucked them into his boots.

― gygax! (gygax!), Saturday, 20 November 2004 23:17 (twenty-one years ago)

really? WTF? for the express purpose of SHITTING HIS PANTS?

― jake b. (cerybut), Sunday, 21 November 2004 01:33 (twenty-one years ago)

That's disgusting.

― Mr. Snrub, Sunday, 21 November 2004 01:40 (twenty-one years ago)

That's rockn'roll!

― supercub, Sunday, 21 November 2004 11:34 (twenty-one years ago)

it was involuntary. the show must go on.

― gygax! (gygax!), Sunday, 21 November 2004 11:39 (twenty-one years ago)

that's so rock n roll it's disgusting (or vice versa, haven't made up my mind !).
does the "the show must go on" motto have any limits or is it the sky (and taped trousers...) ?

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Sunday, 21 November 2004 11:45 (twenty-one years ago)

When did Mike Watt do this?

― Ian Moraine (Eastern Mantra), Sunday, 21 November 2004 12:27 (twenty-one years ago)

the guitarist for Pearl Jam has Chron's which means he must often play wearing a diaper.

Those 80's American DIY bands took everything way too seriously.

― Maxwell von Bismarck (maxwell von bismarck), Sunday, 21 November 2004 17:04 (twenty-one years ago)

shitting your pants is a serious business, maxwell.

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Sunday, 21 November 2004 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

also, could I get a ruling from the judges as to whether or not duct-taping the ankles of your jumpsuit so you can shit your pants onstages and not stop the show is ROCKIST?

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Sunday, 21 November 2004 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

in other words : would britney (or Xina) do it ?

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Sunday, 21 November 2004 18:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Britney could really grow her audience if she did.

― Piers (piers), Sunday, 21 November 2004 22:58 (twenty-one years ago)

that would be less of a mainstream audience then, i guess...
after "crunk", could it be a new way to explore for wannabe popstars ?

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Sunday, 21 November 2004 23:59 (twenty-one years ago)

What would JC do? (Jarvis)

― Maxwell von Bismarck (maxwell von bismarck), Monday, 22 November 2004 00:01 (twenty-one years ago)

who knows the habitus of the "common people"...

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Monday, 22 November 2004 00:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Did they announce specifically that he had diarrhea over the PA or something.

I've once played a gig while vomiting in between songs into a plastic ice-cream bucket.

― Sasha (sgh), Monday, 22 November 2004 05:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Britney's onstage garb would make post-pants shitting concealment difficult.

And now you know what all the wankery between sets is about (like when the keyboard player comes onstage with a guitar and plays a solo acoustic number). It's all a cover for the drummer's spastic colon.

― supercub, Monday, 22 November 2004 06:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Pretty soon all the big stars will be shitting their pants. Then, inevitably, someone will go onto Saturday Night Live and pretend to shit their pants. Scandal will follow.

― supercub, Monday, 22 November 2004 06:34 (twenty-one years ago)

(x post)
well they didn't announce it per se but from what they said to the crowd and the word coming from the backstage it became "clear" (if i may say so).
so that's the new cool thing to do for performers ? i'm going to see morrissey tonight. wonder if he will follow the trend...

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Monday, 22 November 2004 15:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Wonder if any of the guys in Kraftwerk ever had this problem onstage. Dunno why, but the thought of that is ... amusing to me. Somehow. (I am easily amused. Sometimes.)

― lefty, Monday, 22 November 2004 15:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Isn't Andy Partridge supposed to have done this?

I also vaguely recall some horror story featuring Iggy Pop....

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Monday, 22 November 2004 16:06 (twenty-one years ago)

xtina would probably rub her vag on it.

― Big Baby Bingo (Chris V), Monday, 22 November 2004 16:07 (twenty-one years ago)

As for Kraftwerk, Herr Flür in his book wrote about a case when he had to leave the stage back in the 70s because he had to vomit; and during the '81 tour they were 'hit' by infections several times so that they had to take coal pills and etc... :))

― Leo 77, Monday, 22 November 2004 22:55 (twenty-one years ago)

i thought kraftwerk's bowel movements were completely automated.

― La Monte (La Monte), Monday, 22 November 2004 23:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Had the pleasure of TAD doyle liquid his pants on stage at Duchess of York, Leeds circa, i dunno pre 2000. He really did crap trouser badly when reaching for a GRUNGE pre drop D vocal low note.

― hull hole (hull hole), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 00:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Anybody got the truth on DEVO bombarding paying punters with a particular low involuntary shit frequency?

― hull hole (hull hole), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 00:12 (twenty-one years ago)

if anybody was interested to know if morrissey did follow this hot nu trend during his gig tonight.... well, no (surprisingly). though his trousers weren't too tight so who knows...
but i'd definitely see Xina's next video including some mud wrestling...except not with mud...

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 00:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't Kraftwerk make a point of leaving stage regularly so that the machines can play themselves? Doesn't seem like much of a problem, then.

― Maxwell von Bismarck (maxwell von bismarck), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 00:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Britney could really grow her audience if she did.

Grow her audience by growing a tail?

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 00:40 (twenty-one years ago)

not really a tail, in this case...
so the young guns of the "D-area" movement would be : britney, Xina, devo and kraftwerk ? that's a good concept !

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 01:01 (twenty-one years ago)

three years pass...

this was just foul.....there should be a communal bucket on stage for the band

We may have to start taking the Britney angle a bit more seriously.

Blow it out your ass, people.

About 20 years back in a Spin feature on the Austin scene someone from the True Believers (bass player?) described being so into a song he was playing that he took a dump onstage.

― dad a, Sunday, 27 January 2008 01:52 (eighteen years ago)

I can see that...he was so focused on the bassline he just ceased to keep control of his bowels

― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Sunday, 27 January 2008 02:12 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, my son does that sometimes. But he's three, what's that guy's excuse?

― dad a, Sunday, 27 January 2008 02:27 (eighteen years ago)

your son plays bass?

― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Sunday, 27 January 2008 02:53 (eighteen years ago)

No, he takes a dump whenever he hears the True Believers.

― dad a, Sunday, 27 January 2008 03:15 (eighteen years ago)

six years pass...

[DELETED LINK] basic jist: chris brown crapped his pants. details to come.

― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 8 July 2014 00:36 (eleven years ago)
