RandomAnthony | 14536 comments Apparently Kings of Leon had to cut a gig short because a pigeon pooped in the bass player's mouth.

Now, this is a tough call. Couldn't he have just washed it out and soldiered on? Haven't performers experienced worth? What do you think? Should he have played on? "Too unsanitary to continue" does not sound very rock and roll to me. What wouldn't you stop if a pigeon pooped in your mouth? Also, was he looking at the sky, in rapt rock and roll ecstasy? What do you think?

I want to know what YOU would do, mr. RA! Would you put your backpack over your head and run for cover?

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments I would spit it out, drink a beer, and ROCK ON.

It seemed like a bit of a wussy move, but one never knows how one will react.

I saw Joe Cocker back in the late 70's - when he was mired in the depths of serious, hopeless alcoholism - and during the bridge of "You Are So Beautiful," he discretely leaned over and ralphed right in the open lid of a piano then carried on as if nothing was amiss.

A true professional, eh?


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments The guy should have just brushed his teeth, gargled with some mouth wash, and then carried on. Sheesh!

RA, I knew you were a die-hard rockstar underneath those bookish good looks. ;)

I was at the Metallica concert in Washington (before that little prick Lars ruined the whole band) where a guy threw a bottle at the guitarist's head. They stopped the show, cleaned Jason up, threw the stupid guy out, and played an extra set just to show how cool they were.

I like KOL but if they're gonna be wussies of that magnitude they need to get another gig. Maybe backup for Barry Manilow. He might teach them what real showmanship is.

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments You know, I can just picture that seagull flying above the concert. He elbows his buddy seagull and says, "Watch this!" Hehehehe

Totally wuss move by Caleb Followill, in complete betrayal of their deep-fried Southern roots. Something tells me fellow Southern rockers like DBT or My Morning Jacket would have rinsed with Basil Hayden and kept playing.

Then again, Caleb didn't get pinged in the nuts with a cigarette lighter, like Axl Rose did on that ill-fated G&R/Metallica tour.

I've been shat on by a small bird, but I know a woman who was lying poolside in Florida and a pelican flew over and shat on her. Apparently it was enormous (the shit).

Matt | 819 comments This story actually appeared in our local paper today and the way they painted the scene was that the whatever-bank-name-they-are-calling-it-this-month Pavilion has a major infestation of pigeons in the rafters and the poop in mouth was the final straw. Supposedly the opening bands soldiered through their sets and were covered in poop when they got off stage.

Having said that I would hope that if it was me that I would just rinse with booze, launch into a Black Sabbath cover, and bite the heads off of a couple of pigeons.
