Funniest moment witnessed of a manic onstage?
Anyone want to share any comedy moments of the manics on stage?
Mine is nicky at Brixton for the know your enemy (i think) tour struggling to get out of his leather trousers due to the heat and having to duck behind a speaker to get a roadie to help him!
Any others?

nicky trying to play a battered old strat while james played a double neck guitar/bass and then nicky straddling the mic stand and rolling around dry humping it while screaming the 'dont want no fucking friends,useless fuckers' bit. in a white tennis dress i might add.

As James was leaving the stage at the end of the belfast gig he tripped was hilarious.

The first one sounds hilarious

Nicky was drinking water... James said something that made Nicky laugh... Nicky doubled over and spat water all over the floor. I can't even remember what James did now, because whatever it was, Nicky outdid it.

I wasn't there but I read in another thread that a few years ago Sean came onstage without his drumsticks and only realised immediately before they began the first song! Supposedly James said something like 'We're...Spinal Tap!' whilst he ran to get them.

James forgetting the words to Let Robeson Sing for the third night in one tour, and the front row producing cue cards for him.

James' shirt buttons kept coming undone at the XFM Winter Wonderland gig in 2006. He buttoned them up, but they popped open again a few seconds later and he was trying not to laugh mid-song (I think it was during Motorcycle Emptiness but I could be wrong).

Yeah, some of the women had noted his problems at earlier gigs and were prepared.
