Man Forced To Watch Concert With His Own Eyes

A thirty-eight year old man from Brisbane was left with no alternative but to watch an entire concert with his eyes, after he mistakenly left his phone at home.

?I was pretty gutted when I realised what I?d done. It?s not every day that you get to look at a video on your phone,? Christian Howard, of Holland Park said. Despite being phoneless, Mr Howard decided to stay on at the concert anyway.

?My mates thought I was crazy. It was pretty weird, I must admit. I had no idea what to do with my hands. And everything seemed really large and vivid. It was almost as if I was actually there?.

Mr Howard said he rushed home after the concert to watch a low-grade recording of the concert on YouTube. ?At least I feel like I?ve got my money?s worth now,? he said.

Right, but I think this thread is about when real stuff happens that sounds like the Onion.  Not when other satire sites sound like the Onion.

I didn't know where to put this but apparently one of the interns at NME.com couldn't detect the sarcasm in Chad Smith's voice:

This was right after he asked whether they had Prince Albert in a can.

As a rule, bands shouldn't do Zeppelin covers.  That being said, Cave In pulled off an amazingly credible cover of Dazed and Confused at the original Black Cat many years ago.   They subsequently did a studio version which sucked ass.
