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.

The ClashBest gig moment.
The Clash at Newcastle Mayfair, not sure of the year, decided to jump on stage during Armegideon (sp) Time & have a sing. Two rather large bouncer gentlemen came to assist me leave when Mick Jones grabbed my arm and told said bouncers to "Fackin' leave 'im alone!"
They paused for a second glanced at each other then thought fcuk him, they pinned my arms behind my back and raced me off stage down a corridor towards a closed exit door. "They'll stop" I thought. No, they just charged me through the door and chucked me in a filthy alley.
Laid there thinking if I was ok when 4 skins (I was a punk in them days) came down the alley. "Sh1t" I thought, another kicking. But no, they enquired about my health & then proceeded to kick 7 bells out the doors trying toget at the bouncers.
Happy days!
Biggest regret - turned down the chance to go meet Joe Strummer at Leeds Irish Centre. Did't want to meet him in case it spoilt my image of him. Big mistake, nice bloke apparently.
