Darrell "Dimebag" Abbott of Pantera and Damageplan. Shot on December 8, 2004.

I'm trying to think of accidents happened to The Stones. Keith was nearly electrocuted somewhere around 1965. Apart from that nothing comes to my mind for the moment. Well, unless you count Altamont, but it wasn't ONstage as a matter of fact.

Chuck Leavall is an accident onstage.

>> Apart from that ... <<

well, if you don't count fans dragging them off the stage, throwing things at them
causing cuts that required stitches, destroying the equipment and/or trashing the venues,
or the time when a stage collapsed, or the time Bill fell off the stage ...
i guess the Stones haven't had *too* many accidents. :E

Wyman fell off the back of the stage at the end of the show in St Paul in 1978 and damaged his hand, I think.

Keith went on his arse a couple of times in 1976 (and 2007 for that matter)

During the infamous Blackpool riot in 1964, Brian got thrown offstage. A woman I used to work with told me about it as she was there. He landed right in front of her.

Axl Rose is famous for causing troubles on and off stage. Here's a classic example and its aftermath:

Green Day was on David Letterman a couple of years back and after their song, the drummer stands up and takes a header off of the front of his platform. I loved Dave's reaction. I occassionaly search youtube for a clip of it but have yet to find it.

That's what happens when White punks are on dope.

I'm pretty sure the bassplayer of Nirvana was knocked unconscious after throwing his bass high into the air, and unable to catch it, the bass landed on his head.

I think it was on some award show, so it was filmed

<<wasn`t keith "electrified" in the 60`s?>>

Same thing happened to Bill Wyman at a soundcheck in Odense, Denmark back in '65

Couple of pics of the accident: [www.stonesvikings.com]

This was no accident, but I think the post fits:

Back in the early 80's I saw the Who at Sun Devil Stadium on the campus of Arizona State University. John Cougar (not Melloncamp yet) was one of the opening acts. Someone in the audience threw something at him (a rock, or bottle, don't remember exactly) and hit him in the head. He immediately left the stage and after about 15 or 20 minutes, because of a supportive crowd, came back in did the rest of his set wearing a football helmut over his head.

Bill Wyman - 26 March 1965 Denmark.....

Yeah what a bozo, i remember that. It was the MTV awards, he didn't pass out though he stumbled across the stage. Here's a link



Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well.

Here's Kelsey Grammer taking a dive.

When Henry Rollins jumped onstage and started singing with Black Flag.

What precipitated that? Did the original singer not show or something?

When Alice Cooper played Vancouver in 1975 on his Welcome To My Nightmare tour, he fell off the stage and had to go to the hospital.

Paul McCartney on his recent tour fell backwards into the piano pit, recovered quite well and continued playing.

I read that the Who were playing a college gig in late 1970 and were using art tables as a stage. Pete went to do one of his jumps and fell through the table. According to the report, he kept on playing standing in the table. the story: [www.thewholive.de]

Not an accident, but always worth another look and a laugh!



I saw Pete Townsend rip up his hand at MSG in 1980 or so. Doing his windmill move.
