Wow, Youtube is great. Back in 1992, a friend of mine asked me to go along to a filming for a Suede video (The Drowners US version). All the invite said was to bring a change of clothes. I also took a pair of red Y-front underpants that I wrote "If found, please return to:" and my address. The video shoot involved several hundred of us getting into a pit that was filled with foam and prancing around a stage with the band miming on it. I lobed my pair of pants at Brett Anderson's head, it hit him (on the forehead), bounced off and got slung around the crowd a few time. Unlikely as it may sound, I managed to grab the pants and pocket them and I still have them to this day.



Anyway, anecdotes aside, the point is I managed to find that video on Youtube (I have never seen it before). Alas, you can't really see me (I was sat on the stage by Berndard Butler at some point) but here it is:
