Weird things fans have thrown on stage during concerts
Содержание
A lot of people would like to be a rock or pop starbecause the life of an artist is always sweet. You have legions of adoring fans who buy your every album, come to all your concerts and carry all your merchandise. You make more money than anyone ever dreamed of, which allows you to live in a mansion (or even several), buy expensive sports cars, and travel the world "with style," as they say. Access to the swankiest parties, socialize with the biggest celebrities, get a nominations for major awards, the opportunity to record hits that will outlive you for a long time - such prospects cannot leave anyone indifferent...
However, a lot of people forget aboutfraternal side of gloryand that is that often the mental, emotional and even physical health of a star is seriously damaged. Constant rehearsals, filming, touring... And then you go on stage and you get thrown at... a real one "pig's head."! Most of the time throwing a souvenir to a performer is an act of adoration, but sometimes fans go over the top, turning a concert into chaos... So: here are the weirdest things fans have thrown on stage.
"Pig's Head" for Kirk Hammett.
Name Kirk Hammett is well known to every music lover as the lead guitarist of a band MetallicaHe is one of the coolest guitarists in the history of rock according to many top publications! Despite the fact that for many years he was part of a band that played rough and growling rock, in normal life Hammett is a very kind and positive person who loves animals. Kirk is also known as an avid vegetarianand therefore one "attribute" that was once thrown to him on stage caused a great resonance.....
During one of the band's concerts in the '80s, some particularly inventive "fan" brought along and threw on stage... a real one "pig's head."! Such a gesture will be unpleasant for everyone, but Hammett, as a vegetarian, was doubly unpleasant. Unfortunately, this is not the only act of "mocking" the guitarist: another time a piece of ham flew into his guitar....
Lady Gaga was pelted with sausage.
Lady Gagais undoubtedly one of the most iconic figures in pop culture, recognized almost as much for her immense musical talent as for her amazingly strong acting abilities. She is a true showman! And it has always been obvious: from her music videos to just some crazy outfits... The star has established herself as one of the most outrageous performers of our time, and therefore her concerts often end in incidents - as it happened in Barcelona in 2012. The video, unfortunately, can be found failedso it's just a recording from the concert.
We're left wondering why, but the singer was thrown... sausages! This infuriated Gaga a bit, who soon shared her thoughts on social media:
"SPAIN, you made me angry. I will never forget today's Barcelona."
Alice Cooper and the iconic chicken incident.
One of the founders of the genre shock rockwho for decades has used excessive, even violent theatrical elements in his live performances - Cooper's concerts have always been sensationalized and publicized. The band Alice Cooper became famous early in her career for her unpredictable shows, thanks in no small part to her performance at the Rock & Roll Revival festival in Toronto on September 13, 1969. That concert forever gave Alice a bad name. Yes, yes, we're talking about that very iconic incident with chicken…
For some strange reason, someone threw a live chicken on stage during the performance! Already a shocking concert. Cooper was not familiar with the animal world and had never held a time in the countryand didn't know that chickens can't fly. So he threw the chicken off the stage, expecting it to fly away. Unfortunately, it hit the audience, and its fate was extremely sad.....
Afterward the horrible incident was greatly exaggerated by the press, and the story changed with each retelling, until it was soon stated that the singer's ate the chicken. One can't help but wonder if Ozzy had this show in mind when, years later, he created a new sensation with the bat…
"A little sweetness can't hurt" - David Bowie and the "dangerous" lollipop on a stick
David Bowie a pop culture icon too big to describe in a few words. Suffice it to say that few rock stars have had as dynamic a career as Bowie, who never shied away from dramatically reinventing himself and his music. He skillfully experimented with different genres and styles, which earned him the nickname of "Rock Chameleon.". However, being such a legend always has its risks ....
During a performance at the Norwegian Wood Festival in Oslo in 2004, the singer was hit by the candy on a stick right in the eye! Bowie had to go backstage mid-concert to have his eyes checked, but as he wasn't seriously injured, the consummate showman was soon back on stage to finish his set. It turns out that the eye that the "culprit" hit had actually been damaged as a child....
The irony is that it is this lollipop that the Norwegians call "love on a stick.". Back on stage, Bowie urged the perpetrator to reveal himself. Although no one spoke at the concert, one woman claimed she was the one who threw the candy, although she said it was an accident and she didn't mean to hurt anyone.
