Too many to name, but what are the fave Danko live lines out there? He doesn't gab on stage as much as he used to, but here's some dandies I remember. In no order.
1. At the Trasheteria in Guelph, there were some people at the back of the bar (well, the front of the bar but farthest from the stage) chatting during Danko. Danko stopped and spewed "See those people at the back of the club. Ya see those people back there? Turn on the lights! Those people talking away at the back of the club, they're the ones that are gonna say when I'm playing Wembley Stadium, 'Yeah! I saw Danko when he was playing small clubs!'"
2. In Hamilton -- name of place escapes -- Danko was pointing saying, "Ya see that guy right there? Look at him! That one right there! That's Danko Jones's biggest fan, he comes to all my shows! That guy right there, he rocks!"
Little did anyone know until they turned around that Danko was pointing at his reflection in the mirror.
3. At Club 2000 in Guelph we all started chanting "J!C! J!C" and whenever that happens Danko goes, "What about me?" Well this time he turned around and, without moving his lips, slyly started going "Daaaaaaaaanko" into the microphone. The crowd, of course, obliged.
4. At the molson indy show i didn't even attend -- but saw courtesy of PsyCro's video tape -- Danko ran out to the edge of the stage as the crowd finally started picking up steam. He was like "Where was everybody!?!?!?" again ran to the edge of the stage, and started yelled "When I was going . . . (starts motioning some serious eddie van halen shredding without making a sound) Where was everybody???"
5. At one of the Horseshoe shows, "Good evening Toronto Canada, we're The White Strokes."
6. And of course, the line that started it all off at the Concert Hall, "We're Danko Jones. The Man. The Band. And the FIVE-YEAR PLAN!"
that's just a sampling.

Did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?
