IN A QUEEN BOOK IT STAITES THAT ROGER DID SOMETHING AT THE END OF A CONCERT AND THAT HE WAS IN A MOOD ABOUT SOMETHING ENDING UP JUST MISSING FRED WHATS THE STORY BEHIND THIS THE DRUMS INCCIDENT |
| deleted user 31.07.2006 09:40 |
I know that it's true, but I don't know exactly what Roger was pissed off about. Freddie just said he was in a foul mood over something. |
| eenaweena 31.07.2006 09:40 |
yep. it's true. he got mad at some people, then he got so mad that he threw his kit and missed freddie by this [] close. :) it's in one of the facts in one of the personal threads. :) |

Oh poor Freddie! I'm glad it didnt hit his head! |

This is possibly Saarbrucken Germany in August of 79. It was the open air concert and this is also when Roger dies his hair green by accident. But from what I remember it wasn't due to the green hair but a poor mix in his stage monitors that set him off. Not the first time he's trashed his kit. Temper, temper... |
| skiqueen 31.07.2006 12:26 |
i think he got mad because he couldnt hear what he was singing or playing, a technical mistake, and he exploded... |

it didnt start off so fuckin well now did it? |

On tour in the UK in 1974, Roger punched through a piece of wooden panelling in their dressing room after the show, his frustration at a microphone not picking up his vocals properly, and had to be treated at Leeds Infirmary. There was definately some end of show altercation in 1980 on the USA Game tour as well. |
| Joeker 31.07.2006 17:11 |
I guess Roger didn't PLAY THE GAME the right way now did he... |

How many times did Rog smash his kit? And what did Freddie, Brian and John trash? Just curious..... |

I thought that that was in the concert where someone threw a lemon filled cake and it hit Roger, and he threw his drum stick and hit someone in the eye and then other stupid stuff happened and he threw his kit across the stage, I'm not sure whether that is the right story or whether I combined two stories in one... |
| deleted user 01.08.2006 02:22 |
John smashed a guitar after the first encore somewhere, In '84 I think... |

Deaky dosen't seem to be the type to lose his temper a lot. Suprise!! I've heard about him smashing his arm thru a glass door/window. If I remember correctly, he was pretty drunk and didn't feel any pain. |

Can i be pedantic and point out that John plays the bass and not the guitar! A bass isn't generically called a guitar you know! Sorry!!! Of course, i know he played a Telecaster on stage now and again ;) |
| Joeker 01.08.2006 13:27 |
i wonder if anyone has that video of john hurling his guitar |
| Rick 01.08.2006 13:51 |
link And you can see him throwing his bass away on the Knebworth video. I believe it is visible on Rare Live, but I don't know for sure. Also, there is the complete audience recording, maybe you can see it on that video. |
