    Not on stage. But my old band played a festival one time in the Midlands, and during our set there was this biker looking guy sat down by the stage with his feet up on the edge of it, heckling away. Our guitarist was closest him so got most of it.

    Anyway we were in the beer tent afterwards and from across the room i see our guitarist confront this guy, who then pulled a knife on him! Very scary moment, but it all ended peacefully thankfully. Luckily the guy I'd been talking to knew this guy and his mates and had some kind of sway over them, and he stepped in and sorted it. Worrying moment though.

    Not in the band, but we had a couple of crowd punch-ups - what started as two people arguing and then ending with most of the pub fighting.

    Mostly involved girls pulling each other's hair, then throwing drinks over each other, then glassing each other, then grabbing chairs etc.

    Oddly enough, both happened at the same venue in Hemel Hempstead.
    I grew up in Hemel, that's just any given saturday night there. 
    Haha, I did too! Trying to guess which pub @FarleyUK was talking about, there are a fair few possibilities though...

    Many years ago my band had a regular gig in a south London boozer where the clientele was mainly Millwall supporters and gangsters. Many a fight broke out but we were rarely under threat. One night a drunk decided to lob a full pint of lager at us which smashed on the wall behind the drummer. The drunk was then escorted from the premises by our road crew who 'had a word' with him in the car park.

    When I was in Heroes of Switzerland our singer had his car stolen at gunpoint after a rehearsal. This was in Nottingham’s Gun crime days around 2004. Then he had a gun pointed at him in Brixton while trying to park our splitter van. Otherwise it was pretty boring.
