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.

in retrospect, it was a bloody stupid ideataking my mate Jen to the gig, no matter how much she liked the band.
Jen is severely mentally handicapped, and despite being in her 20s at the time, had the mental age of about 9. I guess we thought of her as being more able to cope with new situations than she was.
A group of us went to this gig, and my friend and I were at the front moshing. A more chilled song came on,and Jen came looking for us to ask if we wanted beers. Just as she got to us, the song kicked into the loud bit, and everyone started jumping up and down, as you do.
Jen went absolutely rigid and started to fall over. We caught hold of her and she stayed rigid as a board as we took an elbow each and dragged her away from the moshing mob.
I had to spend the rest of the evening calming her down, as she was totally freaked.
The band (Eden Burning) broke up shortly afterwards, so I never got to see them again.
ho hum.
