Have any of you gotten on stage at a Morrissey/Smiths concert and what was it like?
Some people might be interested in reading this thread

inc a long post of morrissey the 23rd^
from what i personally have seen:it seems to be easier if youre on the right or left , or when he is near you at the stage so you dont have to run all over the stage to reach him. as its more likely the sec has thwn enough time to catch you.
and when the security is distracted holding back others climbing up or escort them away.
but dont do when theyre already many other audiencepeople on stage when you jump on it- this most likely leads to abandonement.
i have never made an attempt to climb on stage-not sportive enough.but watched several people doing it, some sucessful. some not so much...

I found this on the web (ahem):
Yes I have (been on stage at a Morrissey gig.) I hit Morrissey on the head and bounced back into the pit between stage and crowd. Morrissey was very angry and stormed off stage. Noone bothered to see if I was ok until the cleaners swept me up at the end of the night. At which point they put me in the massive recycling skip. I have no idea who or where I am now.

I like the vampire analogy myself. You have to invite a vampire into your house. Vampires are dark and scary and ominous and of the night and all that, but they're basically fun to hang around and Morrissey knows this, so he says things like "You can try a little harder than that!" and whatnot, teasing people to get up on stage, inviting them into his house. The securty is there for when he rescinds the invitation, when he's had enough, they throw their asses off. However...some vampires don't have the best intentions and should they make their way to the front and get up there, I shudder at the thought. I mean it's not that one should live their life in fear or anything, but it's that combination of being on stage, having a challenge to get there, feeling the energy of a crowd of people and being famous for doing something f***ed up that attracts creepy people or bad vampires. That's why I'm hesitant of the whole thing.

dunno who it was but the bootleg , and in Linder's Morrrisseyt shot
is a young lad who kneeling for Morrissey, believe the apollo or odeon

Morrissey was so touched by it, that he wanted to him to step up,
well it difficult to describe, but a must see, it's also on the video/cdr
bootleg who'se fairly common and a lot must have it [still?]
or am I mistaken with Linder's pic of the lad,another gig, I'm not

maybe billy but, just helping
well, I'm a convicted serial killer, typing from the internet room at
the long stay unit, just been out of 10 daus solitair, just a empty room
with soft walls, you can pss and shit eveywhere, everymorning the come
with the firehose with a can with a flavour I used to smell that in Hospitals,
I get a new plastic boiler suit/overall, and while ripping the dirty one off me,
they also clean me with the firehose

the soapbar on the ground, so had to bend, that's how we keep cleaning our asses

I think that Morrissey used to want hugs sometimes and now he's over it.
I think Billy is right that most of them just want to be seen up there.
