Another Musician Assaulted on Stage
This never fails to amaze me: someome spends good money to go to a show only to ruin it for the others. I vividly remember escorting a very wounded Brian Van Der Ark of the Verve Pipe back to his trailer have some moron beaned him square in the face with a full waterbottle at an Edgefest years ago. The result was a very bloody broken nose.
Then I was down front when that moron tackled Noel Gallager onstage at VirginFest in Toronto. The show was cut short and Noel ended up with a lot of badly bruised ribs. Idiot.
The latest onstage assault saw Frederock “Toots” Hibbert got hit by a bottle pitched by a 19 year-old yob. What’s wrong with people?
This list of onstage assaults is quite long, too. The Huffington Post as complied this.
I'll add to this I went to see Marilyn Manson in Sept 2009 in Winnipeg. I was expecting I showy show instead the show was plagued with terrible sound, awful vocals, all in all the worst show I have ever seen.
Anyway during the the show Marilyn was asking for a dollar bill, well this is Canada and nobody knew what to do, so as he leaned over on stage someone FLICKED A LOONIE RIGHT BETWEEN HIS EYES LOL!!! Being on the floor I got a good look at the flash of rage on his face, I was surprised that he held it in so well. Anyway he managed to get a $5 bill and burned it on stage… wow your sooo bad as Manson lol
Anyway I always felt that he deserved that loonie right between the eyes, made up for such a shitty show (that or the guy he escaped out the back of a police car running down Portage Ave in handcuffs after the show… well that's a whole different story lol).
