Gaming's Burning Questions!
WORDS BY: Dan Amrich & Paul Curthoys
QUESTION: Can bands really turn crappy gigs into winning ones if one of the members utterly fails and the rest of the band just tries harder?
ANSWER: Yes, but you have to be a really badass band. For instance, during the soundcheck at a July 27, 2007, gig in San Jacinto, California, Kiss rhythm guitarist and vocalist Paul Stanley inconveniently had a heart attack. While paramedics were busy temporarily stopping and restarting Stanley’s 190-bpm heart, bassist Gene Simmons, guitarist Tommy Thayer, and drummer Eric Singer still managed to perform 14 songs for the fans, some of which were invited on-stage to help out.
But of course, they were already a man down when they took the stage. What about when you lose a member in the middle of a gig? No stranger to extreme living, The Who drummer Keith Moon mixed huge amounts of brandy with strong tranquilizers before a November 20, 1973, show at San Francisco’s Cow Palace. A little over an hour into the show, Moon completely collapsed during “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” only to be revived with a cortisone shot a half-hour later. Pete Townshend physically wrestled him back onto the drum throne, where he promptly slumped over the toms a second time. As roadies carried Moon offstage, Townshend asked the audience for Star Power. “Can anybody play the drums?” he said without a hint of humor — quickly adding, “I mean someone good!”
That someone turned out to be 19-year-old audience member Scot Halpin, who had bought his ticket from a scalper earlier that day. After a friend boasted of his skills — in fact, Halpin hadn’t touched the drums for about a year — he was handed a pair of sticks and a shot of brandy to calm his nerves. “I’m in complete shock,’’ Halpin recalled later. “Then I got really focused, and Townshend said to me: ‘I’m going to lead you. I’m going to cue you.’” A few sloppy songs and 15 literal minutes of fame later, Halpin took a bow with his temporary bandmates. “I played long enough with them that no one booed and no one threw anything at the stage,’’ he said. Halpin went on to pursue a career in music and the arts; he passed away last year, but you can see footage from that epic night at http://tinyurl.com/thewhopassout. Long live rock.

I can't believe how much I enjoyed this article. Very cool and informative...well all but the "potion" section. What was that? Not very scientific or based in any concrete facts. "How 'bout some magic "herbal" cigarettes, they'll open your mind to the possibilities of the wonders hidden in a bag of Cheesy-poofs!" I think that section would have been better answered by a counter-point with a pharmacist and an Herbalist.
the only thing to add to the ventilation system is the unbelievable noise that would accompany a crawl through one and that every few feet that duct is gonna be punched through with the very sharp points of sheet metal screws.
