Dronjak reportedly injured himself when he tried to headbutt an offending inanimate object in the hotel room.


dumbass.

but then again, who hasn't done this after a night of getting wasted?

A band trashing a hotel room.

How quaint. What is this, 1974?

I don't care. Watching that would be awesome.

Participating would be better.

I used to say Rhapsody. But then when I'd tell people to check them out, I'd have to explain the whole thing.

So, whatever. Mr Specifics.

When I was in college, I was at my buddys appartment. It was a friday night, so we were drunk, and watching music videos on the TV, and playing some sweet air band. All of a sudden Pantera's 'Five Minutes Alone' came on......

...Somewhere durring the song the guy who was playing drums got way to into it and was hitting the coffee table mighty hard, so my buddy made the fatefull decision to tell him to hit the couch instead... I don't exactly remeber how it all went down, but we were all hitting this couch, and then someone tore a cushin. As soon as we saw that stuffing, all hell broke loose, it was like blood in the water man, we tore that sucker apart, ripped all the cushins off, broke the wood frame apart and used the pieces to beat the couch to death! We wreaked that thing, it was so broken up that it all fit down the garbage chute of their appartment building!

So I am familiar with the consequenses of drinking and heavy metal!

All sense left the band with Magnanimal.

/Yes, this is probably too obscure for fark. I'd dig up the picture if I were at home, but alas...

"a large quantity of beer had been consumed when [they] decided to show off some of their taekwondo moves on the hotel's furniture"

That sentence just makes me smile. The mental image is perfect.

I dunno, when your DRUMMBER says "We are ashamed,"... I don't think that's metal anymore.

Why don't bands do this more?!?! You won't get into any tangible "real" trouble! Come one you pussies!!

Tiny Tim steals a cart in an airport and rams shiat. Tiny Tim is more hardcore than most bands today. What does that say about the state of rock?

Would you believe that two of their members were originally in a pretty good death metal band?

But classifying shiat is what separates the elitists from the beasts (a.k.a. other music fans).

I think it's safe to say that Opeth is the only Swedish metal band that matters.

Anyone agree with me?

This sounds very, very familiar - were you in Henninger at WIU?

I saw Hammerfall last year at a festival in Montreal. Due to some technical problems their (and a few other bands') set time was reduced by 15 minutes (still leaving them with 45mins I believe).

No matter, the lead singer let everyone know how pissed he was at this, and that they had "traveled all the way from Europe to play for you guys". He complained about this between every single song - which added up to over 10 minutes of crying time - of which they could have used to squeeze in another song or two. But alas, he opted to certify himself as a whiny douchebag instead.
