If you're gonna play a bikerbar, learn "Born to be Wild", even if you're an all original , maharachi band!

heres a lesson I learned as a member of the crowd....just because your bass player can play really good doesn't mean he should play the breaks between songs IF its a modern metal band...was kinda odd...but thats killswitch engage for ya, oh yeah and if you think the sound sucks on stage don't friking walk off (unless you are blowing something up) just my two cents as another one of those un tryed musicians

If you are going to parody "Sweet Home Alabama" at a bar in the South, make sure you're behind some cyclone fencing.

Then again if there's a military base nearby, buy a couple pitchers of beer for the new recruits just before your 1st set and you can play anyway you want...they got your back!

... How about an armada of bullet proof shields... Mixed with some of Captain Scott's electromagnetic ship shields that stop laser beams...

How about a bomb shelter of some form...

Yeah... How about not do it?

put some strings and pick-ups on your shotgun...nice day for a white wedding...biker bar beer belly bully...give me my change! ain't skeered.

Avoid playing songs about killing cops if you are playing at a police fundraiser.

LOL, Kramer!

I stumbled across this song by Steve Hagedorn out of Warren, VA, through a friend...it's called "I'm a Cop"

The 1st line goes

"I gotta big bag o' dope & a bottle of wine
And I'm gonna have me a real good time.
Gonna cruise on down to my favorite bar
And scare some hippies with my new squad car
Cuz I'm a cop!"

I've played that one time in front of cops...they thought it was funny. It's got all sortsa stuff in it about getting drugs outta the evidence room, shaking down hookers...omg it's sick & funny.

I ain't askeered!

Whenever some drunk screams out "Sweet Home Alabama, I start to play it. The drunk will usually scream out an asshole victory cry, at which time I'll start singin' "Werewolves of London! ( the crowd usually responds with an even greater cheer of approval, making the asshole actually FEEL like an asshole. (Even we nice ol' rockers likes to act like a prick now and then.

Take a dump on stage and dare Alice Cooper to eat it........(he will)

I used to be an asshole.... now that I'm more outgoing I'm a hemorrhoid!

Scarlet,

Never seen ol' Vince (aka Alice) "feasting on feces" on stage, but I did see him on his knees with a mic in one hand and a 16 ounce claw hammer in the other, beating out the rhythm on a live mike stand base whilst screaming out the lyrics to "Sun Arise"!

That show was ever bit as awesome as when I seen "The Who" back in 67!

Alice Rocked with the best of them!

I think this one is just an urban legend, but there's a story about Frank Zappa and Alice in a contest to see who could do the grossest thing on stage. I forget which is which, but in the story one of them thought that just taking a dump on stage was bad enough. Then the other one ate it. Don't know if it's true, but I've heard this story from several people thru the years.

Seems I've heard that story too, never was sure if it was true or not. Ozzy Ozbourne biting a bat's head off is well documented, Zeppelin filled a motel closet with mud sharks and reportedly left a fish of some kind stuffed into a female groupie's privates, I've seen other things in printed articles just as outrageous, but I never have seen this one actually documented, so I've always considered it urban legend.
