Dave Mustaine Kicks Out Security Guards
During a Megadeth concert in Bloomington, Dave Mustaine halted the show to eject security guards he accused of roughing up a fan. Mustaine passionately expressed his disdain for their actions and refused to continue until they were removed from the venue. This incident reaffirms Mustaine’s commitment to fan safety and takes a stand against bullying.
Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine made headlines yet again, but this time it wasn’t for his blazing guitar solos or iconic thrash metal anthems. On a fateful night in Bloomington, Mustaine took a stand for a fan, leading to the ejection of several security guards during the band’s performance.
A Rock Legend’s Intervention
As Megadeth rocked the stage, performing their classic “Symphony of Destruction,” the night took an unexpected turn. Mustaine abruptly halted the song, his voice thundering through the venue. “Dudes, don’t be [expletive] hitting people. That is totally uncool. Hey, [expletive] stop hitting that guy,” he shouted.
With the intensity of his music and the conviction of his words, Mustaine charged toward the disturbance. He pointed out the security guards involved in the altercation, reprimanding them for their actions.
Returning to the microphone, he declared, “I’m not gonna play anymore until those guys are escorted out of the building, so just hang on a second. That was so [expletive] unnecessary. That was so [expletive] unnecessary, you guys… What a bunch of p**sies… Get ’em out of here or I’m leaving. I don’t wanna [expletive] hear that they’re in the back. I want them out of here.”
Megadeth Takes A Stand Against Bullying
Once the security guards were escorted out, Mustaine addressed the crowd with passion. “These mother[expletive] wrecked my song. Sorry, that stuff just makes me so mad. I hate bullies. I [expletive] hate bullies,” he exclaimed.
The show resumed, and Megadeth ended their set with “Holy Wars… The Punishment Due.” Mustaine’s intervention was not just about music; it was a statement against bullying and violence.
Not the First Time
This incident wasn’t the first time Dave Mustaine took security personnel to task during a performance. In a similar incident last year, Mustaine confronted a security guard who had climbed a barricade and was trying to control the mosh pit. At that time, he shouted, “Hey, mister security dude. You there. Stop interfering with our show.”
Mustaine’s dedication to his fans and his commitment to ensuring their safety at his concerts have earned him the respect and admiration of music lovers worldwide.
