According to Q104.3, MEGADETH's performance at the 2012 METALFEST came to a halt when the bands controversial frontman Dave Mustaine was struck by a rock. After being hit in the head, Mustaine walked off the stage and refused to come back! This is when a spokesman for the band got on stage and said the following:

"Guys, Dave's been hit in the head with a rock... I apologize. He's been hit in the head." The crowd then launched further items at the spokesman prompting him to also leave the stage.

So what exactly happened? Apparently, missiles were thrown as chanting revelers called for fellow Metal band W.A.S.P. to appear following unconfirmed rumors their frontman Blackie Lawless refused to perform at the event after falling out with Mustaine.

Do you think Mustaine's reaction to the fans reaction was justifiable? Leave your comments below.

Politician Declares War On Heavy Metal! Is He Playing With Fire?

Wow! We came across this article on Tyrany Of Tradition.com (written by Keith Spillett) and HAD to share it with all of you. Please leave your comments below.

Here are some excerpts from the article.

Rick Santorum has been on the offensive lately, but his target has not been Republican front-runner Mitt Romney or even President Barack Obama. For the past week, Santorum has been using his campaign to take aim at an issue he feels to be the single most dangerous force in America today: Satanism in Heavy Metal.

“If you listen to the radio today, many of these brand new, so-called Heavy Metal music bands like Black Sabbath, Venom, The WASP and Iron Maiden use satanic imagery to corrupt the minds of young people,” announced Santorum at a 10,000 dollar a plate sock-hop in Valdosta, Georgia on Thursday.

In the past, Santorum has accused Heavy Metal of being the cause of some of the worst crimes in American history including the attempt on the life of Ronald Reagan in 1981, 9/11 and the passage of Obama’s Health Care Bill. He stepped up his rhetoric in a speech on Wednesday when he implied that Heavy Metal is the cause of many forms of mental illness as well as lactose intolerance.

In response to Santorum’s Metal onslaught, Mitt Romney officially denounced his earlier position of “tolerance towards all fans of extreme music”. This, in spite of the fact that GWAR played his inauguration as governor of Massachusetts back in 2003. But things have changed since 2003 and embracing Heavy Metal music is about as popular selling baby organs on Ebay or clubbing seals. Romney will need to begin pretending to be something else if he plans on facing Obama in the general election in November.
