another one i was playing n a hippie rock band, and we took an acid tablet and a cookie and a few beers( totally wasted).
we did a doors number and it got to my solos, i put my guitar down and played (with gestures) my solo, with out the guitar in my hands,
then i said in the microphone, Its all about feel just feel, and having a guitar is not required just visualise the colors.
HAHAHAH youre a classic !!
Aloisyus showed up for a gig once without his guitar... i love trying to imagine it..." - I got the tuner, i got the mic , i got the car keys, the nail file, the nail glue, got the directions...got a second capo in case i lose the 1st one .. ..hmm i think thats everything ..its not clear if he had his guitar case or not..it would be funnyer if he didnt
ANd in this, its not as funny as some of the stuff above but i have the actual video of the night lol....u cant see it but i couldnt tell where the light was, at first i was just gonna walk on and not take a vowl but i thought that would be weird...to kind of pretend that the audience is not there...almost rude to not aknolodge the audience..so i changed my mind in the last minute and decided to take a vowl
...and i was taking a vowl...................... for like 2 minutes........... wondering why noone made any sound, not even 1 applaud, i know i am no Paco but my mom was in the audience...surely shed fu*king applaud ......after all i have done for this people ........but i couldnt tell that was in the dark and noone could tell i was there..... ( i was thinking ...oh s*it tough crowd, bad idea ..should have just walked on .. )...longhest minute of my life or whatever it was, it felled very long..i was just standing there like an idiot bending foward lol but then as i was finishing they saw me or the light moved a litlle ..i dont know ..lucky... it was going to be a long night for everybody ...i get very spitefull if they dont stick to the script ..." OHH ..so you want a show now...u want ME to entertain you do you ?
or..I think they saw me and they were thinking just get on with it dic*head...u not elvis , whats with the white suit lol

Edit: Oops, this one's pretty funny, too. I think you have to be either a little older or a little younger than the average single person to understand the humor:

Ya once at a show I was playing Prelude bwv999 by Bach and some jerk threw a blow up sex Doll right on the stage in front of me, Like Bach isn't hard enough without the distraction of talking and throwing blowupdolls onstage. I contained my self for a minute and then couldn't take it anymore and preceded to hit the guy repeatedly with it on the head and in the face. I got so mad I told the Bar that they couldn't be silent for even one song. You could hear a pin drop in there for the next few songs.

My silly story is playing for a Christmas concert, I can't remember the song, but it was in waltz time and I was playing it in 4/4 time. It sounded really weird but I couldn't stop myself. It was very embarrassing.
Another time playing I was not very loud compared to the choir, and their voices got higher and higher, I had to stop playing cause they got severely out of tune with me.
