hahaha ben recovered like a champ...it's funny how some singers who take themselves too seriously would be right embarrassed or pissed off about it and either walk off stage or try to play it off like it didn't happen, but Ben just accepts it for what it is; a funny moment that's bound to happen to a singer with as much energy who plays as many shows as he does with his bands
happened to me once, i'm a singer or prog metal band and i had a little too much to drink and tried some windmilling got dizzy tripped over my guitarists pedal board and crashed right into him knocking both of us over. all i could really do it just say into the mic "i feel down, went boom." it helps a lot when you don't take yourself seriously haha.
the golden part of this is the guy to the left who kind of doesn't really know weather or not he's going to help him up:P he just runs half-way in, then back again :P
this is better than daniel kessler's fall. That must've hurt, poor ben... I wonder if the others rip it out of him afterwards? Then again, theyre death cab, theyre not like that.
He stepped on, then slipped on his own guitar rig control cables. This is why they should always be made longer as to be able to spread them further out away from the performance area.
The stage can be a very dangerous place. Which is why all you boneheads who jump up on stage get knocked off or thrown out of the venue.
on this tour something usually went wrong: at the irvine show i went to, a guitar string apparently had broken during transatlanticism and one of the techs was trying to cut it off while ben was singing and playing. i think ben mentally said fuck it and threw the guitar off to the side what looked like for no reason. i remember thinking, damn he's fucking bad ass. it wasnt until after the show i was told what really happened but i maintain my first reaction :D
man i love ihm. lol. hes so amazing! this is funny. really cute. What would've mad eit awesome is if Chris walla just took over :) that woulda made my day.
I saw the show on the 30th. amaznig preformance as usual!
hahahahah yaa that was a good night. and thank you for actually putting on youtube! hahah, i was to his right on the 1st balcony and his face was really embarassed, it was adorable. ah, poor guy.
i thought he was hurt at first! that's a pretty bad fall haha
