Mclusky
ULU
awesome banter.
Future Of The Left
Brighton Audi
Shellac
(During an extended into to The End of Radio.)
Woman in audience: Play the song!
Albini: This is the song, cunthole.
awesome to the power ten
:D
this thread would be much better
if people gave examples!
I think mine the other night.
"so this songs abour rape. It's about this kid from hereford who raped loads of little girls."
I need banter coaching i think.
this is pretty win:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=C70owQtnju8
Oxford Collapse at Barden's Boudoir
although I can't remember exactly what was said. But it was all GOLD.
a friend told me about this one
black rebel motorcycle club show:
person in the crowd: "HANNAH MONTANA!"
Peter Hayes: "I don't know any of those songs..."
person on crowd: "All right!"
another person: "SPOONER STREET!"
Peter Hayes: "Actually, these are all Hannah Montana covers."
i can tell you the worst banter
Silverchair geezer: "hey is this the Reading festival ? because i cant see any books
I have a winner
Art Brut / Eddie Argos.
Best bantering onstage of any band. Eddie Argos truly knows how to talk to a crowd and make them laugh.
Art Brut
Comes on the stage to a crowd of about 20 people and shouts
"Do you know where you are?"
"You're in the jungle and you're gonna die"
Wonderfully ridiculous. Also in a more recent show "If Jay Zed came up to me and said i've got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one. I would say Mr Zed 'I don't appreciate the misogynistic language but I approve of the sentiment' "
Mclusky example
Person: C'monnnnnnn (bit unnecessarily)
Falco: You in a hurry mate? You need to get home? You taped Sex In The City, you fuck.
It was well funny.
Gosh, how edgy..
he swore and everything
Art Brut, obviously.
"Now I'm going to play Rusted Gun of Milan IN FRONT OF MY DAD!, that's so embarrassing!"
And more greatness which I've got recorded. I love them so much.
and btw black_rooster, was that at Stoke/Exeter/V2006
because it sounds really familiar. Unless Eddie is recycling his speeches.
he recycles his speeches
i heard "If Jay Zed came up to me and said i've got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one. I would say 'Mr Zed I don't appreciate the misogynistic language but I approve of the sentiment'" when i saw them in glasgow once
Billy Bragg
was very funny and engaging when i saw him last week.
Rolf Harris
fo sho
you could even say...
Rofl Harris
HARD SKIN
end of.
There was a really good blog on bonkers stage banter. I'll try to find it.
The guy from Venom was crazy... The banter was used as a sample on Check Your Head by the beasties.
Bob Pollard is pretty good too. The Relaxation of the Asshole 1 & 2 are just comps of his stage banter that he actually approved for fans to release.
Interpol.
just kidding
Imagine if Paul just said the lyrics in between songs
That'd brighten things up a bit.
Shellac are the best
cause you don't expect them to be funny. At ATP last year there were a load of hecklers, steve albini was awesome:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cRoyFMLUuY
todd trainer was also amazing, when then arsehole at the front kept heckling, he went up and beat the snare drum right next you his ear then started yelling at him to fuck off :)
fan to steve:
(steve was wearing a jumpsuit on stage)
fan: "why did steve come in a jumpsuit?"
steve: "because i ran out of rubbers"
on the cap'n jazz discography, before one of the live songs, one of the band members introduces the song with "this is
a sucky song for our sucky singer".
