After watching 3 of Top's shows and giving blistering rants about what he was doing wrong each night, why did Gallagher still have to gently caress up the moment Top tried to give him on that last night? Like, not even Chevy Chase could be that stupid and petty.

I met a guy when I visiting grad schools almost 20 years ago and he was in a Gallagher-themed Metallica cover band - Metallagher. They'd play Metallica songs with Gallagher themed lyrics and smash water melons. He wrote about it in his personal statement for his applications. We were going to start a fantasy themed metal band where everyone was dressed as a centaur.

I saw a Gallagher show in the early 2000s in Madison, WI, in that period of time before he went completely nuts. The week before, Jerry Seinfeld had done a show, which had been big news for our mid-size midwestern college town. At the start of his show Gallagher gets up on stage with a big bag of fun-size Halloween candy and a tennis racket. He starts lobbing candy into the crowd and shouts "DID JERRY SEINFELD GIVE YOU CANDY??". Great joke.

I have a strange memory about Gallagher and I'm honestly not sure if it's real or something I imagined during a fever...

After 9-11 he was accused of going off the deep end about terrorism and I'm pretty sure I remember reading an article about how he'd come up with some crazy scheme to clear bridges that had become clogged with cars during a terrorist attack by using helicopters with long cables to grapple the cars and air lift them out of the way. He was trying to promote this idea as some sort of search and rescue procedure and was very VERY upset that it wasn't being taken seriously.

I know it sounds crazy, but.. Gallagher.

Does anyone remember reading something like that?

Why is Gallagher VIII afraid of Gallagher VII? Because Gallagher VII ate Gallagher IX.

You're thinking of his teamup with the far less successful Smatular. That guy that had an oversized spatula and kept coming up with reasons to whip it out and flip over large flat objects.

He would fling trashcan lid sized pancakes into the crowd that he cooked on the griddle top embedded in the stage. About three times in a set he would accidentally step on the griddle and say OW HOT FOOT FOOT!

He was alright.

Well the idea was the cars would be flattened with a mallet and then they'd use a spatula to shuffle them off. I don't know whether it worked.

I went to see Peter Gabriel in concert a few months ago and when he played Sledgehammer there was footage on the video walls mostly of different kinds of bugs loving. But there was one shot of a watermelon smashing, which I'm sure was a reference to Gallagher.


wait peter gabriel is still doing concerts ?? i had no idea considering he's prob 80 and hasn't been in the spotlight since the 70's and 80's

Gallagher Is a Paranoid, Right-Wing, Watermelon-Smashing Maniac

"At last, after two hours of his tedious, hacky, right-wing manifesto, Gallagher gets to the part his (willing) hostages have been waiting for. It's time to smash some poo poo. There are the watermelons, there is some cottage cheese ("It's got the curds that blow up, just like on the news!"), there is sauerkraut and syrup and honey. Then Gallagher gets a tin pie plate. He opens a giant can of fruit cocktail and pours it in. He opens a can of some Asian vegetable—water chestnuts, maybe—and pours that in, too. "This is the China people and queers!!!" he screams and takes his sledgehammer to the thing with a fury that is no fun at all. Wet chunks of China people and queers fly everywhere. The hateful, bitter old man laughs. I cannot believe Bill Hicks is dead and this motherfucker is still touring."

My first thought when I saw the thread title was Liam Gallagher, yeah.

My best friend as a teenager loved music so much that he not only emulated Liams' style - he started acting like him too. Long story short, after 6 years it ended up in a physical confrontation and we didn't speak for a long time.

I have since reconnected with him after 25 years and he is now one of the warmest kindest people I know - like when I first met him. gently caress LIAM!!!

The damage Liam did was temporary, me and Bacon Ears are great buddies again.

Are you the alternate universe version of one of The Lucas Bros and was your best friend the other Lucas Bro?

Gallagher hosed each and every melon backstage prior to its impending destruction, thereby ensuring the front row of the audience would be covered not only in melon goo but the very essence of Gallagher himself. Appalling certainly, but also a reminder that the days of performers giving their all into every performance are long past us.

I've read this article half a dozen times over the years and it gets more sad and pathetic every time. So has Gallagher, I'm sure.

I think I saw them play at a wrestling show at First Avenue in Minneapolis once. I don't remember much but I remember it was entertaining.
