Best Live Onstage Quotes...

Droogie

Saw this on MetalIreland.com so I thought I'd post it up here..

What's the best onstage quotes by a band you've ever heard - funny/stimulating/stupid/anything!!!

Mine would have to be Phil Anselmo's speech on 101 Proof about the "stupid ****in' experts".. Never fails to get the tingles down my spine...!

Chris Martin, what a spanner.

Bono, said half way through Sunday Bloody Sunday at some gig in the US. Less a quote, more a sermon from St. Bono, but it gets me every time.

"And let me tell you something. I've had enough of Irish-Americans, who havn't been back to their country in 20 or 30 years, come up to me, and talk about the resistance, the revolution back home. And the glory of the revolution, and the glory of dieing for the revolution. **** THE REVOLUTION. They don't talk about the glory of killing for the revolution. Whats the glory in taking a man from his bed and gunning him down in front of his wife and children. Wheres the glory in that? Where's the glory in bombing a rememberance day parade of old age pensioners, their medals taken out and polished up for the day. Wheres the glory in that? To leave them dieing, or crippled for life, under the rubble from a revolution that the majority of the people in my country don't want.

Think it's "Is there anyone here with any Irish in them" "Would any of the girls like a little more Irish in them" Something like that, heh, I dunno. But you're right, it's a good quote.

Gary Lighthouse of Snow Patrol last december in the RDS:
''Kylie Minogue has a song called chocolate too. She's never heard of Snow Patrol. Fúcking Bitch.''
LOL , such cheers when he said that

Best one I've witnessed: Bruce Dickinson on stage with Funeral for a Friend in Belfast, shortly after Ozzy Osboure broke his ribs in that quad bike accident - goes "Some of you might be older than me, which makes you old enough to remember this one" and then turns to the singer of Funeral for a Friend and shouts "Oi! Sharon! Where's me quad bike?" before launching into a cover of Black Sabbath.

Rob Flynn's "The PA don't drink" speech was quite good too though...

"Hey listen a$$hole, one more f***er throws a f***ing quarter out here and were out of here im tellin ya, f***er. What the f**k, you're blowin' it for f***ing everybody. Hit me with a f***ing quarter again and f**k it, i'm outta here, were all outta here, f**k you and if anyone see's someone throw f***ing change right next to 'em you have my permission to personally beat the f***ing holy s**t out of 'em, thank you very much, f***ing idiot. Ah, that felt good, thank you!!!"

-Eddie Vedder before State of Love and Trust (Mansfield, September '98) after someone in the crowd threw money at him.!!

Ian Dury and The Blockheads gig in the Olympic Ballroom in Dublin about 1981, their publicist and MC Kosmo Vinyl comes onstage to introduce the band to an expectant packed house and roars into the mic, "Good Evening Belfast!" Nearly right....

The funniest quote I've seen was by some support band I can't remember the name of (they weren't great). I think it was at Anthrax in the Ambassador.

"Alright....everyone split into two sides, with a space down the middle, and turn to face one another. Now...when the song starts I want you to......"

*Wild waving of arms from the security people*

"...well...I can't tell you what to do....but I'm sure you have an idea."

"Unfortunately the PA doesn't like to drink..." - Rob Flynn (Machine Head)

After some overly-enthusiastic fans at the front row chucked a couple of pints over the monitors in appreciation of the performance (needless to say, the monitors exploded). It doesn't sound particularly funny now, but the timing and his facial expression were just perfect. One you'd have to witness yourself I suppose.

Shat, ater their less than 30 second musical masterpiece "Tight Virgin Cherry *Pop*", "Oh, you like that, will we play it again?".

After playing it again and not getting much response: "Yeah, t'was better the first time. This next song is called I threw Up on Her Cnut (or something similar!)"

It was legendary - they didn't expolde, they just made lots of fizzling noises - yes the beer in QUBSU is *that* bad!

Legendary gig though - they just kept going!

Bit at the end was great too - "Whats the biggest circle you can make in this hall?" cue people sqeezing into the walls and a 8m hole in the centre of the hall.
