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.

Glastonbury '94 - still in a room without a door...Rage Against the Machine - about midnight... After my first attempt at crowd surfing - 10 yards, landed on my head - thought it would be a great idea to get all the way to the front and then get marched out by security therefore avoiding the crowds - They'd just come on for the encore you see. I was supposed to be meeting my mate to go and see John Hegley in the arts tent or something.
So I gets boosted up and am being passed towards the front - great fun - and then I jump down over the barrier. Snap. Oh dear. Can feel my ankle has gone. Forward momentum carries me for another step and full weight goes on to now broken limb. Arrrrgh. Go down in a heap and security says 'You Alright Mate?'. So I says 'no'. Get helped backstage and sit for a while trying not to move. Rage Against The Machine have now finished and as I'm being carted off to the ambulance, the bass player wanders over and I tell him that this is all his fault... He just grins and goes 'hurrrrrrrr'.
Ah well, at least I got a big scar and interior metalwork souvenirs.
