Cocaine may have been involved.
But I can neither confirm or deny that allegation.

*Digs up old thread*
Well, I couldn't really think of anything before so I didn't reply. But on Sunday I played one of the most uncomfortable shows possible. Some of my bandmates had to drive from Winston-Salem, which is an hour away, so I asked the dude who was putting on the show if we could play an hour later. He said that was cool (oh yeah, and the way we got on this show was there was only one band that was coming to tour, and dude didn't have any other bands to play, so we hopped on it). Well, an hour later and I'm still waiting there with my drummer. No guitar heads, no drum throne, we're sitting around and the owner/attendees are getting antsy. So then the owner comes up and says that the band brought another band with them and they'd just play first (great, this basically means we really didn't have to play after all (a bunch of crap came up with the other members and I told dude we couldn't play, at which he got pissed off, so I said that we'd play anyway)). I tell owner that the rest of the band is two minutes away, the other one goes on anyway. Right when they start the rest of the band arrives. Great! So we're sitting outside and someone gets shot across the street. Superb. After, we're setting up, tuning, and the owner is being a dick about it. Yeah, hurry up and play, don't worry about tuning, etc..
Anyway, the band we played with was nowhere near our style, we were rushed and botched a couple parts, which was more than enough to ruin the night. But no, in addition, we had to play for a bunch of mustached/tight-shirt-and-pants/white belt hipster pieces of shit who wouldn't know decent music if it hit them in the balls.
Sigh.
First show was great, second show was bad. I guess it all balances out. Not too embarrassing, just frustrating.

I was playing a gig in New Orleans back in the early 1980's.
I had drank a few rum and cokes and was pretty tight...we were on the final break.
This groupie chick we called "Loadie Linda" asked me "hey Mike, do ya want a lude?" I said yeah gimmie a couple of 'em....popped them both
Then we went into the last set. We closed with "Freebird" and I did OK throught he slow part...then the band kicked into the fast part and I started the lead and grabbed a note. When I grabbed that note I fell backwards, knocked my amp over, and wound up flat on the floor.
As if that wasn't bad enough I finnally got back on my feet and made a complete idiot of myself on guitar for the remainder of the tune.
That was the last time I did any ludes.

most embarassing/awkward thing that happened to me was this:
I was playing in my very first punk band for a few years and we finally starting hitting the road and giging out of town shows.. We were playing a show in oakville ontario wich was a "old school" punk show and we were "new school" hahaha anyways after we played to the 5 ppl who watched our set we started packing up the van. I was walking up the stairs into the venue and was buggin our bassist about something (i can't remember what) just as we walk into the hall he looks at me and says "ok buddy suck my cock hahahah" in response to some sort of mockery i told him of course but we failed to realize that the entire hall was dead silient and there were a couple girls on stage talking about how one of their friends were recently raped and apparently (they never told us this) this show was partly to raise awareness of this. Of course they didn't hear us talking on the way in and only hear our bassists remarks.. long story short they refused to pay us (they called us nazi's and rapists and whatever else rich kids with mowhaks can come up with) we were lucky to get out of there without getting our asses kicked.. I felt really bad but i think those kids were just looking for someone to hate because they refused to hear our apologies/explanation
