JUST GOES TO PROVE MY AGE OLD THEORY — CROATIANS LOVE W.A.S.P.

He did NOT see that coming!

Update, 10:27 a.m.: Now there’s video of the incident after the jump. I don’t see any thrown rocks, but it is clear that the crowd is pissed, as they start to give the band the finger and chant “WE WANT W.A.S.P.!” Thanks to the reader in the comments section who submitted the clip. Original story follows.

The Gauntlet has published the following reader report from Croatia Metalfest, which took place last night in Milwaukee Croatia:

“When Dave Mustaine came out with the rest of Megadeth, there was a group of possibly drunk and rowdy fans near the front. They kept throwing beer on stage towards Mustaine but security put a stop to it. Then all of the sudden a rock came from their general direction and hit Dave in the head.

“There was some talk about Megadeth being the reason W.A.S.P. didn’t perform earlier in the night.”

Folks, I don’t know how many times I have to tell you this, but it bears repeating: you really should not throw rocks at Dave Mustaine. For one thing, violence is never the answer. And for another, his martyr complex is already massive, he doesn’t need you re-enacting The Passion of the Christ, y’know?

And here’s the video:
