Report: Naked Headbanger Fined For Being 'Neighbor From Hell'
- Oct. 10, 2007
|
|
Simon Barrett of The Argus reports: A heavy metal fan who headbanged naked in his flat and deafened neighbours with loud music has been rocked with a £3,000 fine. Simon Bowker made life miserable for folk in Upper Wellington Road, Brighton (England), blasting out tunes late into the night. When Environmental health oficers went to investigate, they spotted the 26-year-old dancing around in the flesh from the pavement outside. Bowker, 27 Upper Wellington Road, Brighton, failed to appear at a hearing at Brighton Magistrates' Court, where he was fined and ordered to pay £1,000 costs. Len Batten, prosecuting for Brighton and Hove City Council, told the court neighbours in the flats called the council's noise patrol team on September 1 when the music was so loud they could not hear their own televisions. Council officers Mike Greenwood and James Rawlinson, could hear music in every room when they went into the neighbouring flat and said neighbours would not have been able to sleep because of the disturbance. The pair managed to attract Bowker's attention and he opened the front door after putting on a pair of jeans, said Mr Batten. He appeared to be drunk and leant on the wall for support as the officers spoke to him. Read more at The Argus.

Keeping the flag of metal madness flying high.
The neighbors could have solved the problem by turning off their televisions and listening to the music...unless of course the music was death meatl - then the guy deserves a beating.

Coming to the BBC network, a new reality TV series:
The Naked Headbanger Show
Watch as our subject pisses off his neighbors by playing his music loud, rocking out naked, and having a bigger unit(in more ways than one) than they do.

This isn't a "metalhead" thing, this is about a guy being a dick. He was drinking alone listening to music?

Headphones...a metalhead's best friend. Of course it does put a crimp in your headbanging, I'll admit. Great story.

I think I've found my new hero. I do the same thing all the time, except I usually play along on the guitar.

Haven't you ever noticed how he always sez something like (referring to Zep: 'bring the tour to the US!'). Now if we ever hear a story about a guy in the U.S.A. doing this, well then we may just have our man. I think RA lives in the midwest.
