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.

Alright, let's jog the memory...* Cradle of Filth's tour manager had a diva strop at me about the posters I'd put up around the venue. I was an unpaid lackey, I didn't make the fuckers!
* Being taken backstage at a Cribs gig when my mate got hurt (still my favourite gig so far, despite that) and being offered fruit with faces on by Duels' then-drummer, my mate (not the one who got hurt) telling the guitarist from Black Wire that he looks like the love child of Morrissey and Johnny Marr (he still remembered her 10 months later for that), and then watching all of the bands wrestling each other on crash mats. Before my dad came and picked me up.
* Trying to mosh on a wobbly CD rack at an instore gig.
* All the licked faces.
* Making all the members of Duels (except their keyboardist, I couldn't find her) wear some massive blue star-shaped sunglasses for photos.
I'm sure there's more, but they're all the ones I remember. A friend and I are planning to stage gigs (we don't actually have a band per se yet) in her garage. That should come up with some good ones...
