VIDEO: REVOCATION’S DAVE DAVIDSON SPLITS HIS HEAD OPEN ON THE LEGACY TOUR (WARNING: GRUESOME CONTENT)

While this is technically “safe for work”… it’s probably not safe if you’ve got a weak stomach and don’t want to vomit all over your employer’s keyboard. This is bloody and gross. Extremely bloody. So procede with caution.

Still with us? Great! ‘Cause blood is metal, and Revocation guitarist Dave Davidson would surely tell you so too. Ya see, Dave was good and drunk at the Cleveland stop of the MetalSucks-sponsored Legacy Tour with Darkest Hour, Veil of Maya, Periphery and Revocation, and he decided it’d be a great idea to stage dive during Darkest Hour’s set… only it didn’t go as planned. Here’s Dave on the matter:

Shortly after our set at Peabody’s I proceeded to get annihilated and during Darkest Hour’s set I decided to go stage diving. My first dive into the crowd went without incident but on my second attempt I slightly over shot my jump, and luckily my head broke my fall. After a quick trip to the ER and 8 staples later I was back in business. Good times!”

Without further ado, the video, and then some “aftermath” pics of his stapled up head after the jump:

Feeling sick to your stomach yet? Great, now let’s look at Dave’s stitched-up dome:

We hope you’re feelin’ alright, Dave; get better soon.

    Dude nice! And I can honestly sympathize with that. I had my head accidentally smashed in with a baseball bat when I was 12 and a few staples, a concussion, and I partially shaved head later I was good to go. Dave, I salute you!

    ha NICE!

  • Chainsword

    Wow, good thing it was not more serious. Be sure to keep it clean, Dave. Otherwise you may need to return to another ER (and spend more money).

  • Bicro

    Hopefully all this does is make the next album twice as brutal.

    it would’ve sucked if he had broken an arm or his hand. at least he’s ok.

    Ehh that’s not too bad. One of my friends got his head split open by some crazy drunk coked out bitch swinging her heels around. He had just played a show at Don Hill’s with his band Humanity Falls, and this bitch came out of nowhere and clocked him in the head for no reason whatsoever. It looked a lot like this video, I told him he should have made the pre-stitches closeup into their next album cover. Also, earlier this year I split my chin open whilst drunk as shit. I should have gotten stitches, but I was way too drunk to go to a hospital, so instead I continued barhopping and getting more drunk. We went to a shitty dive bar and I challenged these guys to a game of pool while bleeding all over the place. They looked horrified, it was hilarious. Next day I woke up with a horrendous hangover and a gaping wound on my chin. Probably gonna have a scar there forever…

    This is pretty gruesome but I’ve seen more blood in a WWE Hell In A Cell match. Still pretty fucking brutal though.
