Feeling down about your last performance? Maybe you blanked on the lyrics to one of your new songs, or perhaps you flubbed your guitar solo. Trust me, it could have been a lot worse. If you don't believe me, here are eight of the most embarrassing, crazy, and sometimes downright gross things that have happened onstage. Take solace in knowing that it happens to the best of us!

4. Mitt Romney trying (?) to show off his moves

5. Cymbal Boy dropping the ball

7. James Hetfield going up in flames

8. Kings of Leon getting pooped on
The bird folk have spoken, and they do not like indie rock.
