OUCH: Stage Diving Fan Gets a Ton of His Hair Ripped out by Phil Demmel’s Guitar

So y’know how the term “machine head” generally refers to the tuning knob/gear on a stringed instrument’s headstock?

Yeah well this poor dude lost a TON of hair — I mean a fucking TON — on the machine head of former Machine Head guitarist Phil Demmel.

It happened during a Vio-lence show, so he can’t tell his friends he lost the hair on the machine head of Machine Head guitarist Phil Demmel during a Machine Head show. He can, however, say he experienced some violence during a Vio-lence show on the machine head of former Machine Head guitarist Phil Demmel.

Anyway this looks fuckin’ painful, don’t it?

Jesus Christ. Ugh.

In semi-related news, rumor has that Demmel will soon be subbing in for Nonpoint guitarist B.C. Kochmit on that band’s upcoming live dates. Stay tuned for confirmation…
