If you're playing a gig, and you got a screaming solo going on, and you're feeling it and the crowd's feeling it so you whip your custom tele behind your head and keep wailing...

... just be sure that you don't spin around the stage and whack something with your headstock like a mic stand, drum kit, band-mate, etc.

Just a word to the wise.


Oh, and mic, mic stand, and headstock survived with only minor bruising.
 
HAHAHAAHA. Now THAT'S A SHOW!
:headbang:

Tele's are tough, a drummers head, tougher! ahahaha
 
Just get up higher than the mic stands.

For the record, that's not me (i'm playing bass), but that is my guitar.

This is a common occurance for them.  I got a little nervous once when we were inside and they did this inches from a sprinkler head.
 
I'm not saying it's like wrong or anything, but if you vanquish your singer you'd better be a damn good lead soloist. :party07:
 
The song was actually "Fast as You" by Dwight Yoakam.

And yes, it was Kashmir.  But Kashmir was made for this kind of thing  :icon_thumright:

The bose?  It drifts into the shadows and no one sees it anyway.  :headbang:

Oh - and I missed the drummer  :icon_jokercolor:

It never happened w/o pics or even better video.
 
I did that one time with an Explorer. I whipped around real quick and smacked the front of the body, just behind my arm, into the mic stand. I think that was the first time I had that guitar on stage too.
MULLY
 
I think I found the video.  Trevor also goes by "Marty" and it wasn't a Dwight Yoakam (aka Doyle from Slingblade) song.  It was METAL!  Marty....McFly....Mayfly?  It all makes sense now.

I have this kind of (psycho)pathological... THING about singers, and I've often though it would be neat-o to have that hollow-neck flamethrower guitar that Ace Frehley made popular with KISS. You'd want some kind of precision pinpoint control, so you could take off the singer's mullet without doing a Great White kind of thing. :party07:

My favorite is to be running around playing and have your cord get caught on something and you end up tripping yourself or unplugging it from your pedalboard.  It's hard to look like a bad ass when there's no volume
