Death By Guitar
For an activity that involves high levels of drugs, alcohol, stupidity and electricity, surprisingly few accidents involving electric guitars have been recorded:
Keith Relf, was the harmonica player and lead singer in The Yardbirds. He was killed in 1976 by a shock from an electric guitar that was not grounded properly.
Leslie Harvey of an unknown group called Stone The Crows, was killed in 1972 by a microphone that was not properly grounded.
John Rostill, bass guitar player of The Shadows, was killed in 1973 while waiting in his home studio for Bruce Welch, The Shadows’ rhythm guitar player.

Maybe I’m not enthusiastic enough but watching guitar nerds try out 5000 euro guitars (I didn’t dare to touch anything I can’t afford *g*) just wasn’t satisfying for that 12 bucks entry fee. I bought myself a set of Fender strings, a handful of picks, and a high end instrument cable (which really makes a difference, to my surprise) for twenty, which very well compensated me for the entry, but unless I win a lottery or something and can buy one of the real things I doubt I’ll go there again next year.
