Neil Young was touring an album about 12 years ago, he pissed off the audience by stating, we'll start by playing my new tunes from start to finish. After every song the audience shouted out 'requests' but the band stuck to the task. Young announced an interval after the album was played out, then came out after the break and played the whole thing all over again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I mind there was some sort of sales event where they hired a Billy Joel cover band, but the band only played early Joel. After too many drunken requests to 'start the fire' (a tune the band never played as they were strictly early Joel) the singer got annoyed and tried to square go an audience member. This resulted in the band leaving and one of the salesmen had to stand in on drums with one of the caterers standing in on vocals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both my first and second names have ditched the superfluous letters which although saves me some time when writing my name, is a pain in the arse when I have to advise of the spelling anytime I speak with someone. I will neither confirm or deny if big team has been found 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 So basically it was a duet? I was there as well funnily enough. It was a duet in the end and they did a lovely rendition of Time To Say Goodbye. I also got so wasted I leased a helicopter ffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful. Pater Army does this. I bloody love it. For a man with a sonorous deep bass voice he can fair make the leap to falsetto. He really elongates the "heee" part of it too. Wonderful stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
