Rock Singer Attacked By Concertgoer
- May 21, 2006
|
|
|
At around 11:30 p.m. on Friday night, May 19, 2006 reports to local authorities from cell phones came in that an all-out fistfight had broken out during a NAPOLEON BLOWNAPARTS concert at a popular night club (Doll Hut club) in Anaheim, California, according to a press release sent out by the band's management, L.A.G. of Tarzana, California. An unknown audience member bum-rushed the stage, attacking Jim Norris, lead singer for opening band THE INFAMOUS UNKNOWNS, knocking him into the drums and onto the stage floor, where both men scuffled.
Audience members described the event as a really ugly reminder of what happened to former PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott. Another witness said "some guy just dove" right at Norris while he was on stage in the middle of the song and all of a sudden bodies were flying everywhere. The fight poured out into the street where the singer punched and pummeled the surprised bully to the sidewalk. Norris was accosted by bodyguards and then led back to the stage where he finished the band's set unscathed. The BLOWNAPARTS took the stage on time and blasted through fan favorites like "The Good Kings", "Do Ya Like My Haircut", and "Nowhere To Go". No further violence was reported, according to the press release.

"Audience members described the event as a really ugly reminder of what happened to former PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott."
Yeah its so similar...well maybe not quite. First of all, nobody gives a fuck about The Infamous Unknowns so therefore, none of the members are worth killing. Secondly, the guy who rushed the stage wasn't a fucking pussy with a gun, he used his own fucking cannons. Who the fuck are these bands anyway? Probably just more indie/emo bullshit.

a fist fight!? NOW thats a novel idea. Chicken shit bastards these days are too scared to get in a real fight and resort to guns. ie: gangstas and derranged loners like nathan gale.
God I wish someone got into a little fist fight instead of murdering dime.

The doll hut is holds literally 20 peolpe. There is one maybe two security on a busy night. There is no way a club that small should have to have more security then that. I'm telling you like 10 peolpe can fit in front of the stage and then there is a patio and small seating area. Smallest bar I have ever been in but for some reason they actually get somewhat big bands.

Nothing wrong with thowin down when its neccessary. Theres more honor in it.
Its the little pussys that try to stab you or shoot you is what screws up things.

The guy gets tackled on stage then gets his own back 'outside'
"The fight poured out into the street where the singer punched and pummeled the surprised bully to the sidewalk"
REVENGE IS SWEET

Wrong time, wrong place. Attacking someone at a gig where many fo their fans will be is fucking stupid, not to mention weak.
More bad press for metal, just what we need. No, what we need is better security at nightclub gigs. This would never happen in Australia.
