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.
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...
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?

YEAH IT'S TOTALLY TRUE, I REMEMBER READING ABOUT HIM DOING IT ONCE BECAUSE A STUPID ROADIE MOVED HIS STOOL AND HE FELL DOWN
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.
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.....

It was Knebworth that John hurled his guitar.
