Rock and Roll StoriesMy personal Spinal Tap moment came when we got locked into the Festival Hall in London by accident. We ended up wandering the maze of backstage corridors carrying a three foot high piece of cheese looking for the one door that would lead us to salvation.
What goes on tour may stay on tour, but B3ta doesn't count. Tell us everything.

Rock and fucking RollI have many tales to tell, but I am only going to tell one this time.
I was working with Sting in a studio in London in the '90s. Also recording there was a well know lead singer of an Irish band and drunkeness fame. (also famous for lack of teeth - no names in case he can afford lawyers).
Well he didn't let us down. He got so blind drunk that the studio manager insisted he was removed for his own and the studios safety.
A taxi was called, and it took a bit longer than was expected to arrive.
Shane got pissed off waiting and started getting loud and beligerent. He decided in his drunken wisdom to go out to find the taxi by kicking open the side door which had steps leading down to the pavement.
He kicked the door open so hard he fell out and down the steps into the road - to be hit by the taxi that had come to pick him up.
Lucky man that the taxi was not going very fast. He picked himself up and started swearing - not about being hit, but because his bottle had been broken.
It's almost like 20,000 spoons at a wedding.
