Megadeth Fan Gets Mega-stabbed, Dave Mustaine Gives Him a Hospital Visit

0

I think we can all agree that Dave Mustaine says and does a lot of kooky stuff... but he just gained a lot of respect in my book.

It seems that a fan was stabbed three times at a recent Megadeth show in Neuquen, Argentina. The man, whose name may or may not be Fabian Young (there are conflicting reports on this), was apparently robbed by a woman at the Estadio Ruca Che venue. When he confronted her, an accomplice stabbed him three times: once each in the arm, body and spine. The victim also lost approximately 5000 pesos (~$269 US).

Once Mustaine found out about the attack, he visited the victim after the show at a nearby hospital stating:

“Gotta Split. A fan got hurt last night. I’m gonna visit him in the hospital. Love you guys, and please for God’s sake be nice to each other.”

Since the incident, Mustaine has stated that the fan will be flown by the tour promoter to see the band in Buenos Aires later this month. Amazing! That’s a great gesture right there, and I’m happy to see that Mustaine and company take care of their own.

Remember folks: if you’re robbed, it’s probably not worth confronting the person that did it. Money is replaceable, life isn’t. This person walked away able to tell the tale, and got to meet his favorite band as a result. Others may not end up so lucky.

Check out the video below for more details. It’s in Spanish, so you’ll have to deal with Google’s shitty translation if you’re not fluent:
