Kevin Dugie Dugan got himself into hot water with
Mick Jagger when he accidentally knocked him over backstage during the heat of a gig in 1981.
Van Halen was onstage opening up for
The Rolling Stones when Anthony encountered a problem with his No. 1 bass.
Dugan recalled the episode during a recent conversation with
Ultimate Guitar. With the band onstage, he was responding to Anthony s problem in a whirlwind, rushing to a storage box backstage where two men were standing in his path.
“I see Bill Graham, the promoter, and he s leaning on my workbox talking to some other guy,” Dugan remembers. “So, I yell, ‘Bill! Get out of the way!’ Bill jumps out of the way, and I grab the door of my workbox and throw it open. … The other guy he was talking to the door hits him in the chest, and he flies back on his ass about five feet. I yell, Sorry, grabbed the strings, ran back out, changed strings and got Michael his number one bass back.”
