BAND'S BUS GUN SHOCK.

Byline: By MAGGIE BARRY

ROCKERS Glasvegas got a shock in Germany - after armed police stormed their tour bus.

The four-piece were in Munich completing their European tour when their bus was stopped and boarded.

The terrified band members were then searched by the gun-toting officers - until it emerged it was a false alarm.

But guitarist Rab Allan was almost given special treatment from Germany's finest, after he inadvertently asked an officer if it was alright to rescue his bath BOMBS.

Strict security measures had been put in place for a visit to Munich of German president Horst Kohler and Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili.

The two leaders were holding talks at the Mariandl Oriental hotel, close to the Atomic Cafe venue the band were playing.

After the scare, at lunchtime last Friday, Glasvegas were forced to stay on their bus until the statesmen had finished their business and left the area.

Bass player Paul Donoghue said: "The police came on and dragged us out of bed to search the bunks.

"Rab almost got the rubber glove special because he asked for his bath bombs. I think they misheard him as they tightened they're trigger fingers a little. I s**t myself."

The Glaswegian band have now completed their sell-out tour of Europe, where they played gigs in Holland, Denmark, France and Germany.
