Default Most embarrassing musical moments

My music theory is non-existent, I play by the seat of my pants ( some people dress that up as " I play with feel " ).

When I was a young nipper, my step dad taught me how to play the mouth organ. So I already could ( Take note of this next bit ) play blues harp on my own without any problems.


Cue band

Cue gig

Cue the song " Tush "

Cue me deciding on the moment to drop the second guitar solo and get my harp out my pocket, approach microphone..............assume the Brillo stance.......


.................and Blowwwwwwwwwwwwwww and Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuck


and ..........WTF is that sound.


Hang on, we are playing in G and my harp says it is in G.But why does it sound so ear wrenching awful


I will leave those with music theory to imagine what happened next

Hitting an archtop too hard and moving the bridge, therefor having to retune and reintonate on stage.

Don't get me wrong, it was fun, and a good band (if I say so myself), but still embarrasing 80s cheese metal.

I remember burning some Anal **** songs on to a CD for a band mate, he found them hilarious.

Come band practice he said "listen to this, this is what Carl is into. His favourite band" and blasted it through the PA.

Hearing 'Hitler Was A Sensitive Man' at full volume was more than they could take lol.

Shit...the ****'s were not down to me. I dont censor myself
