I heard the classic comedy club one early this month.

TELL US SOME JOKES!

Brilliant. Every time.


I wasn't there but...

...Kate Nash did a 'fans only' gig for XFM last year and in her encore played a love song with a big pause near the end. During said pause some guy shouted 'get your muff out!'. Apparently her Cribs boyfriend punched him for it.


I wasn't there for mine either

but it has to be:

"James, why did you eat Richey, ya fat shite?!"
amazing.


...

that was all a stunt. The guy who shouted it works at her record label, they knew Ryan would react like that.


That is so upsetting.

Although I wish it was my job to piss him off.


why would you do that though?

so he gets bad press? huhhh


yep


watching U2 once.

and bono did the 'everytime I click my fingers someone dies in the third world plug' mid set

some individual shouter 'stop clicking then'
brilliant...


^^This^^

.


^apocryphal, surely?

Everyone's done the "stop clicking them" joke.


i've heard this a million times.

i don't even believe it happened anymore.


when I saw Jimmy Carr a couple of years ago,

someone yelled: "you're rubbish mate and so's your suit."

Carr: "ok...*reaches inside suit* ooh, still got your money though!"


that's brilliant


i think andy goram was diagnosed

with Schizophrenia and the crowd chanted

"there's only 2 Andy Gorams!"


hahahaha


Was that not...

after he'd put on a bit of weight?


..

No, I heard it was schizophrenia too. This satisfies our double-sourcing requirement.

This also leads me nicely to a player whose name I can't recall right now who recently took possession of a new caravan. Heckle: "The wheels on your house go round and round, round and roud, round and round..."


Freddy Eastwood?

He was/is a gypsy and lived in a caravan, think he was living in the middle of a field and the council told him to move on. Was in the media for a while.


England vs Sweden

Sung to the tune of De, De, De, Der, Der

Your team is shit
Your birds are fit
Your team is shit
but, your birds are fit


KEEPER! CHRISTMAS!

WHAT DO YOU WANT!


Best heckle?

really?

Surely 99% of people realise that just isn't very funny.


when the cardinals come back on

and do a completely straight cover of said song, then yeah it was pretty funny...prick


I think it's very funny

mainly because of the way he reacts.

OH BOO HOO RYAN.


play high and dry!

(to which thom replied somthing like "shut up, you c*nt!")


Someone asked Phil Elverum to play the Moon

he got really knarky and told them to phuck off (very out of character). he played it last year though :*)

Sparta and Mars Volta were both asked for One-armed Scissor at Reading 03. MV ignored them, Sparta just said "Wrong band dude, wrong bad...". Which I thought was pretty cool.


In the acoustic tent

at Glastonbury. 1993 I think....
Some fat old hippy bird on stage, singing
"We're all children of the yoooooniverse"

When some cynical bugger in the crowd shouts "BOLLOCKS!"

Despite now having the entire audience laughing at her and with the aforementioned cynical bugger, she tries gamely to carry on singing about stars and flowers. At the end of every line, the cry of "Bollocks!" grows larger.

Eventually, about half the audience is joining in with the "Bollocks!" and the poor old bird has to give in.

"Ok, let's do this properly" she says and starts the song again, this time pausing after each line and pointing out into the crowd to give us our cue...

"BOLLLLLLLOOOOCCCKKKS!"

Bless.


Emmanuel Petit

He’s fast, he’s quick, his name’s a porno flick, He’s Emmanuel!


two at the same gig

to future adventures, "you look like spy versus spy"
swiftly followed (by the same person)to at the drive-in "you look like the jackson five"


Went to see 'Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan when it was first released.

Spock's funeral is taking place at the films end and Capt Kirk (in deep mourning of deceased Vulcan friend) says something like "Of all the people i have known.." and before he could say the next bit my friend shouted out " His Ears were the most pointed!" There wasnt a dry eye in the house.


"There'll be no! Shag! For you! Tonight!"

Reading '94. The guy in the tent next to mine, randomly and brilliantly heckling other campers. Other classics included, "If you're going to chat her up, at least have the gall to have a penis" and "Go home! And have! A wank!"


someone yelling at mogwai

in newcastle a few years ago...
"play sweet child o mine"
-stuart smiled and then knocked out the riff to the delight of everyone.

at hundred reasons at leeds fest a few years ago...
"play one armed scissor!"


This is True...

Kirk Douglas's (spartacus) son Peter Douglas had a go at being a stand up comedian years ago to no success.

He did a tour a everynight the crowd grew tired a started to heckle.

one night he lost the plot and started to comfront the crowd.

On one occasion he lost it and started shouting

"dont you know who i am, I'm Kirk Douglas's son"

to then a member of the audience shouted

"No I'm Kirk Douglas's son"
*Spartacus Style*


I wanna have your babies!!

ha, ha, ha
funny stuff.
especially if they're saying it to a man!
cause that's impossible loL!


this thread was done recently

but still...

Kaiser Chiefs, early days, supporting Ordinary Boys: "Blur have lawyers by the way!" (or words to that effect...)

Smoosh, Cargo: "Does your mum know your out?"

Low, Manchester Hop & Grape: "for fucks sake, cheer up!"


Mclusky, heckling their own crowd:

"You people dance less than the Swiss"


To Delgados at Glastonbury some years past

Is art drawing or colouring in?


PJ Harvey Reading 2001.

In between songs someone shouted "Timmy" (as in south park), everyone laughed whilst PJ looked on bemused.


I remember that heckle!

PJ Harvey was looking HOTT that day, somebody else yelled out 'How much?!' when she walked on stage.

Fuck you man. Just cause somone is a decent band why does it make them emo? They actully make real music, not fucked up shit that makes people take there clothes off and become un-decent people. If I have to be "emo" to keep my dignaty then I'm fine with that. Just keep your damn insults to yourself bitch. Grow some fucking balls.


?!


To the Dandy Warhols:

Play that one from the vodafone advert so we can all go home!


Van Halen, Donnington 1984

After the upteenth bottle had been thrown in the general direction of the band, Dave Lee Roth stops the current tune they're playing dead and says to one of the culprits: "you throw one more piece of shit up here and I'm gonna come down there and f**k your girlfriend" Song then resumes from where it left off. Nice.


I once

heckled a clown for looking like a rubbish Jimi Hendrix tribute act.


Sonic Youth

at the Daydream Nation dont look back gig last year, someone shouted "play Silver Rocket!" straight after they finished playing Teenage Riot.

Predictable. But made me giggle none the less.


Hahaha

I like that.


not a heckle as such

but it tickled me anyway. An exchange between a young rudeboy and an skateboarding kid.

Rudeboy - hey greebo do a trick

Skater kid - like what?

Rudeboy - I dunno man, turn into a bat or something.


the catsx3 bassist

dropped a good one last sunday.

the singer said "turn your bass down until it's inaudible" or something similar, and he just came out with

"don't belittle me in front of my fans"


150:1

This is the ratio of

skateboarding tricks attempted : skateboarding tricks successfully executed.

figures based on cambridge, but may be true nationwide.


I can agree with these figures

and my smashed up knees and ankles can tell you so too.


Getting

6 or 7 girls to go down the front of this gig and shout - "Rapist" repeatedly at the singer!!

Band deserved it they were shite and arrogant.

Ha.x


A bit one sided but...

"Your momma works in Nandos."

Shouted at the big screen in Wetherspoons by my very civilised 8-year-old nephew as Ronaldo scored against England in the World Cup.


Get Kathy Beale on

Was at a football match a few years ago and one of the players got hit in the knackers by the ball...

...he fell down, clutching his privates and some toothless oldtimer shouted 'Get Kaffy Beale on!!!' (this was after the tabloid story broke about Gillian Tayleforth giving her fella a beejay while parked on the hard shoulder, or summat).


Speakers Corner

The heckles used to be quite good...

one guy used to shout 'When are you gonna give my sister her handbag back?'


Phil Neville

Chelsea fans the other week directed at Neville and picked up quite clearley by the microphones on live TV.
"you're a cunt, you're a cunt, you're a cunt, you've always been a cunt,
neville is a cunt, you're a cunt, you're a cunt, you're a cunt, you've always been a cunt.


For some reason at a Pere Ubu gig in 2006

Stan Ridgeway was the support act. He's famous as a one hit wonder for the song Camoflage. After he played it someone shouted "Play Camoflage again!", and they kept shouting it after every song until the end of his set.


Bright Eyes

at the end ot the second or third song at Somerset House my friends shouts 'ONE MORE!'
