SUICIDE STAGE DIVER

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009 at 12:30pm by

Following up on yesterday’s post about stage dives gone awry, reader Karel Goethals sent us the below video that a friend of his shot at a recent Faith No More reunion show at Pukkelpop in Belgium. Skip ahead to roughly the 2:40 mark to enjoy the hilarity of what looks like one of the most painful missed-dives pretty much ever. Even Jon Hudson’s reaction when he sees the jump is hilarious. And gotta give Patton mensch-points for personally checking to make sure the dude is okay.

Ouch.

    This is further proof that Mike Patton is an avatar of the god of awesome.

    Saw my buddy break a leg stage-diving. Dude jumped off the stage, and the crowd parted like the Red sea. Some guys are just too big to crowd surf.

  • TurdFerguson

    I saw Mike Patton dry hump a fallen stage diver back in 89.

    Would’ve been cooler with Chuck and Jim.

    • Bill

      well, you’re 50% right. maybe.

  • EJ666

    Notice the “No Stagediving” sign hanging from the stage.

  • Me

    did you just write “mensch-points”? rosenberg: trying too hard to be jewish.

  • Mike2

    What do you think Patton told the fucker? Maybe “LOOK AT THE FUCKING SIGN, THAT’S WHAT IT IS HERE FOR!”

  • saubattl

    Face No More

    Patton: “You got knocked the FUCK out”

  • mano

    • gATO

      THIS. The band’s tight!

  • Canvas Of Flesh

    I lol’d so hard I cried. Just watching that ‘tard flying through the air…awesome.

  • Oden

    LMMFAO wife just said THAT is why she will never stagedive

  • B-dizzle

    1:26-1:28

    I’m pretty his chest hit the rounded edge of the guard rail

    Metalsucks should check it and post it

  • You Don’t Know Me

    Love how Mike’s just like, “Let’s lighten the mood a bit.” and the band rolls with it. This is why FNM is one of the best.

  • anttichrist

    Awesome. The sign just makes it priceless.

    On a related note, here’s another impromptu stagedive gone wrong.
    No metal, but there’s girls and a hilarious stagedive. Which is actually pretty metal, come think of it…
