For the impatient among you, if you skip to 1.20 you can see the said incident. He does look embarrassed. x

Poor James but even how he fall is amazing!

Where the hell is Nicky hiding just after James gets back on his feet, when the camera is searching for him, before he suddenly just pops into view again. How can you miss him?

Haha, great clip. Still, there's no way James should be embarrassed for himself when there's Wire looking like that next to him...

I just rewatched the clip and can't stop laughing at that now, and the little conversation he's got going!
edit: hang on, does Nicky lick James' guitar at 1:50? Is he trying to do that playing-it-with-your-teeth thing? Cos he didn't quite manage it, and that's just wrong anyway

Widdling, fret wanking, playing guitar, etc.

If he was urinating, now THAT would be a classic.

Not the first time.

Though it's probably easier when you're miming.

I have VHS of a gig I was at in 1992 (March 12th, Warwick Uni in case anyone on here is even slightly as old as me and might have been there) in which James pours beer over his own head, then proceeds to slip over in the mess he's made. He goes right over (I believe the expression involves arses and tits), then arches his back and carries on playing his guitar Hendrix-style, as though that was what he meant to do all along.... It's beautiful.
