The audience fights back
By now, we've all heard about the ridiculous raucous at the Palace in Detroit last month, when ballplayers and fans embraced each other like never before. Well, the fans apparently haven't had enough. Some of those Auburn Hills fans (probably left-handed) must have commuted down to Columbus, Ohio to take out their aggression at this concert by heavy metal band Damageplan. No Ron Artest sightings. Nor does it say a word about the band provoking the audience. (Although one could argue that simply by taking the stage and turning on their amps, these dudes—some of which used to be in Pantera—stirred the pot with a fury. After all, we all know that our soldiers overseas just love to kill foreigners while listening to the good rock.) In all seriousness, this is some sad, scary shit. I wonder if venues both small and large—at least the ones that host metal shows—will now take the safety of their patrons and performers a little more seriously. Big, beefy bouncers are one thing. Might metal detectors be another? R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell. There's a Marshall amp full stack waiting for you in the sky.
