Nail Soup Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 So the story goes: Phil (thy animal) Taylor of Motorhead fell backwards from his drum stool off of a high stage. Doctors said his injuries did not include a fatal neck-break only because he was so drunk/wasted that his body was totally relaxed and he hit the ground like a rag doll. OK, if you want to be picky being drunk/wasted may have contributed to the fall in the first place ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Wasted Drummers? Insert here the name of drummer from a band you hate, but who is a decent drummer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 We once had to start our second set without the drummer as he was having a massive whitey in the car park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, unless he broke his neck twice (which he may have done) I think the way he ended up in a neck brace was someone was using him as a weight lifting bar and dropping him.

I saw this happen to Joe Cocker's drummer - I forget who he was, someone might know - at Gateshead Stadium in about 1991. It was particularly noticeable as he was the only one playing at the time during a song intro. All of a sudden everything went quiet & he'd gone. He appeared from the back of the drum riser holding up his broken stool to great applause! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 That reminds me of a few drummers I've had the fortune/misfortune to play with over the years. And singers. Eh.......and Guitarists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I saw this was 10 years ago at The Fiddler's Elbow in Camden, and it was actually our keyboards player who'd fallen through the black curtain at the back of the stage, not realising that there was a one-metre drop there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he did break it twice. the stool incident and the one you mentioned. a roadie picked up like the weights bar and dropped him down a flight of stairs headfirst (OUCH) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 re: Hotel California. Given the singing going on, I think if I was the drummer, Id be losing the will to live also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
