Have you ever been to a concert where the artist/band got booed off the stage? [View all]

I just saw a.commercial with Billy Idol so it reminded me of a concert of his I went to back in 1985 or 86. The Gun Club opened for him and were mercilessly booed for some reason. Booing just got louder and louder as they played and I think it was the middle of the third song the frontman threw the mic into the crowd and they walked off the.stage. A roadie ran out and struggled to pull the cable back and when he finally succeeded there was no mic at the end of it - which I thought was pretty funny.

To make the night even more bizarre was Billy Idol, who probably because had too much to drink, threatened to piss on us all a few times. He didn’t get booed off nor thankfully did he piss on us. Bizarre night indeed.
