Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Absolutely brilliant 🙂
October 28th, 2009 at 02:53hahaha… Well it may be true. I’ve never heard of that particular prank but there have been many so it could be true. It sounds like it could be a mixing together of two or more pranks.
October 28th, 2009 at 07:51bad nazi look
October 28th, 2009 at 13:22I heard of that prank wher a certain Eric Thompson or something, or was it a Scandinavian promotor, was hung stripped naked at the Rainbow above the stage during the live show.
The Lemmy story first reminded me of that one…..
There are more .
Maybe a nice thread to start?
October 28th, 2009 at 13:35Remembering or collecting all those stories together?
Don’t know if it was the same guy, but there is also a story of the same type event whereby he was naked and hung from the Huge Rainbow at a concert……
October 28th, 2009 at 16:11If true……… Not surprising, but hilarious!
October 28th, 2009 at 19:41About Erik Thomsen, yes it’s true. I was with ET at that time, and it was in Paris. Now ET is gone. Now ET is in heaven. RIP!
October 29th, 2009 at 07:26I have some strange pic during the Straight Between The Eyes Tour where Ritchie is painting something on Erics forehead…..
In the same article amongst others, pics by probably Ross Halfin, a pic with Jurgen and his father both seemingly in great mood.
Ritchie smiling and drinking.
October 29th, 2009 at 10:37Jurgen, still with moustache and very much Germanlooking to me, looking with tenderness at his Dad.
So I still wonder where that story came from Jurgen was left in the cold ….
Yes, there was a naked guy above the stage at a Rainbow concert in Paris (should be in 1976 or 1977…)
October 29th, 2009 at 22:16Great stuff, Lemmy, gotta love them both!
October 30th, 2009 at 00:53Those were the days when it was possible to breach someones Human Rights and laugh about it!
October 30th, 2009 at 08:25didn’t I.G. run through a hotel lobby buck-naked with a newspaper on fire between his butt cheeks while a wedding reception was taking place? if true-that one gets my vote.
October 30th, 2009 at 10:13Moderator, please act…..
We re drifting off again.
The thread started with Lemmy on Blackers.
Now its getting off topic by James Jay.
Sorry JJ, just kidding.
Just noticed how things go……
Funny thing about IG indeed.
Cant remember the wedding detail though.
2 other great stories about IG are ….
The occassion on which he burned dollars in front of the eyes of the bartender who did not pay him respect.THIS IS YOUR TIP.
The moment he got frustrated by a phone in the hotel and send it destroyed to the lobby with the words THIS PHONE IS NOT WORKING…..
Must be great to afford that kinda behaviour, get away with it…..
Although it might get some cynical because one gets away only with murder because you re worth some money that levels the situation.
