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.

Fun Lovin' CriminalsI used to DJ at a shit club in Putney with two of my housemates. Got paid next to nothing and the place was almost empty. In a desperate attempt to attract more people, the venue booked Huey from Fun Lovin' Criminals to do a set with the understanding that we were still the 'resident' DJs (as if we gave a shit anyway as pissed students).
So Huey turned up with his entourage of a fat bald guy in a Led Zep tshirt, and 3 or 4 semi-hot girls dragged off the street, and they all sat in the corner drinking Crystal, whilst we were resigned to perching on band equipment supping beers.
Huey played his (honestly, terrible) set and we were due to go on by 12, but he refused to leave. Wanker. In a fit of pissed-revenge and deliberate 'don't you know who i am?'-ness, we robbed up his champagne, started chatting up the girls he was with whilst pointing at him and smirking, nicked two more bottles of spirits from behind the bar, and yelled "Cuuuuuuuunnnnttt!!!" at Huey before storming out smashing bottles and walls vowing never to play there again.
We never did.
