Fan vs Band

Wed 13th Jul, 2011 in Features

“You don’t fucking fight at my show you asshole. Let me see him, who’s fighting right now? It’s that guy in the striped shirt. Hey motherfucker look at me, get the fuck out of my show right now.” No-one quite tackles crowd misbehaviour like Dave Grohl, who unleashed this tyrannical tirade on a hapless fan at a Foo Fighters concert last night.

In honour of Grohl’s rage, and just because there is something oddly fascinating about watching bands get up in the face of annoying punters, we have collated our Top 12 Band Vs Fan moments.

TWELVE: Manson vs Fan

Marliyn Manson proving he truly is all talk.

ELEVEN: Sebastian Bach vs Fan

This footage intercuts Sebastian Bach getting his arse hauled off to jail and the crowd-bashing moment that got him into that predicament.

TEN: Axle vs Fan

You have to skip to about the 2:15 mark for the action to begin, but when Axle gets pissed off at a fan mid-’Sweet Child Of Mine’ he really gets pissed: “Come up here and I’m gonna knock you the fuck out!” Corn rows have never been quite so scary.

NINE: KISS vs Fan

“Come here Schmuck!” It’s kind of hard to take men in four inch platforms, make-up and latex seriously when they get angry at a laser-lovin’ fan.

EIGHT: Maynard vs Fan

Presenting: Maynard ‘Mr. Miyagi’ Keenan.
