Went to a gig over Easter and witnessed the lead-singer from the headline band climb on stage and unplug the support band's guitar amp during the last song because they were going orf, times like, infinity.

Yes I'm Leaving
I'll bite, who were the bands?
Dude would be wearing the fucking guitar amp.
Really? You'd biff? That's awesome!
Yep, that shit is out of order...
Nah. I'd get all sexy and ask dude to play out a fantasy where I'm the guitar and I get to ''plug in'' to my amp. Always straight to the most violent outcome Queenie..
knerf used to be gentle, now he is super tough. tough stuff.
what blatant cuntery
he didn't think doing that would reflect even worse on his band?
I'll cut a hole in the ice.
Name names for fuck's sake.
I was seriously thinking of setting off the fire sprinklers with my lighter and getting my gear off.
Nothing like wet tension on the day we killed Christ.
Stuff Christ, who was the obnoxious headliner afraid of a lil competition?
It's a bit like DJ'ing at party, you get everyone dancing their guts out, and then the cunt who owns the decks insists on taking over and clearing the floor.
how do you know for certain it was because the band was ripping?
how do you know they weren't ten minutes overtime as it was - or ignored the ''last song'' gesture from side of stage
nothing worse than having to cut your set by ten minutes because some other shitcunt can't get offstage (or onstage) quick enough
just saying - there mighta been other contributing factors in regards to this gesture...
btw - which band was it?
Yeah Mo I was thinking the same re the support might have been playing overtime!
i've had an indie legend dude look at me tapping at his watch more than once, way before finishing time. this is after we've already had to chop our set short 'cos the legend dude decides on having bloody hour and a half long soundchecks. ahh, it's his crowd, his show - all pretty funny i guess.
i mean c'mon! isn't the whole THOU SHALT NOT GO OVERTIME rule#1 of gig etiquette? like - DO YOU REALLY THINK the headline band will ask you back for another show? unless of course you hate the headliners - haha
hahaha one of my pet peeves...
when we're a support act we do our damndest to NEVER play overtime... in fact we got told a couple of times out set was 5 minutes too short on a recent support tour - but i'd rather er on the side of caution - its not your show....
agreed Mo, less is more - keeps 'em hungry for more!!
trap for young players: nothing worse than seeing a band play that one-song-too-many.
fkn OATH
although for a lot of our sets that one song is usually the 1st song haha

have we named names yet?
Swervedriver supporting Powderfinger seconded......well to be honest I walked out after swervedriver and didnt see the pseudoINXS set.
Thirded Swervedriver.
I walked out Darren Hanlon's set last week. I don't know if he was any good though.
Fourthed! I think it was '99 though ;)
Did this when M83 supported Midnight Juggernauts last year
I probably would have done it to the Hanlon show if I coud have afforded it in the first place.
i've heard powderfinger called a lot of things, but pseudoINXS?
and Eugene Kelly supporting Evan Dando.
Though in Dando's defence, he wasn't bad on that tour, he just wasn't Eugene.
Modi's miffed he missed seeing Guy Sebastian.
Same. Jeff Lewis pretty much killed it.
Jeffrey Lewis was the best support act I've seen in perhaps forever, but Darren Hanlon was excellent in his own way. All in all, it was a tops night.
Darren seemed more excited about bringing out Jeffrey for this tour than anything else. Fucking pinball mafia.
Little Ugly Girls supporting The White Stripes at the Empress, not sure what year.
c'mon butler you got that all wrong, what's happened to your memory?
the white stripes in effect supported the little ugly girls at that show when a dear friend of mine (the booker of the empress once upon a time) insisted when i initially booked that gig that no one would come to see the white stripes. a bizarre situation happened where a packed venue cleared out straight after the white stripes played and the little ugly girls were left to rock it for their core 20 or so fans.
almost ten years ago now, how time flies
Franz Ferdinand supporting Morrissey
Devastations supporting The Drones
Totally have, that's what 10 years does!
The Jesus Lizard supporting Rage Against the Machine in 1996. Rage were bloody good, but TJL were just too good.
