Obviously it isn't uncommon for bands and fans to get pissed at each other, especially at shows. And sometimes these incidents become infamous.

Which ones are your favorites? Post links if you can.

Here are some of mine

The infamous l7 tampon incident

Layne Staley punches a nazi (this nazi dude was totally asking for it)

and of course, Axl (I especially like how the band keeps playing)

And i think this is the bestway to handle this sort of ****

BQ-Favorite of the links i posted?
BQ2-When this crap happens do you think its normally the band overreacting or do they normally have a good reason?
BQ3-Favorite band that flips out while preforming a lot?

Fleetwood Mac are performing "Beautiful Child" and a fan comes on the stage (it's at about 4:30) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vigBfdMs2y4&feature=related and he puts his arm around Stevie and they just keep performing as if nothing happened (listen to her comment at the end)



Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) got pissed at a fan and spat on them one time. This is an audio apparently of him getting angry at fans that day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b2J9Qevo1E



BQ: I like the Pearl Jam one because he was just so chill about it and he made the audience laugh even though some people were being shitty

BQ2: Sometimes it is because they should expect stuff to happen but at the same time I can't blame them because they are trying to perform and people are being assholes.

BQ3: I have no idea. I don't know which bands flip out a lot. But I know Pink Floyd did the whole wall thing at their concert because it was to do with the fan interaction and how the fans would just scream and yell and such instead of actually caring and listening to the music.

Damn you stole my answer. - Staley showing that Nazi punk what's what.





BQ - Staley vs Nazi

BQ2 - Not usually, although sometimes.

BQ3 - Don't have one.



Here's a link to Nirvana getting fed up with a drunk guy taking over the stage.

Enslaved all the way... Also check out Absu and Wolves in the Throne Room. Absu feels to me like Blackened thrash at times and WITTR is VERY proggy black metal. Listen to a wide selection from their catalog to get the best idea about who they are.
