Megadeth - Rocks Thrown At The Band In Metalfest Croatia
According to Venia-Mag.net, the final evening (June 5) of the first ever Croatian Metalfest Open Air ended up pretty badly for headliners Megadeth, who were forced to reduce their set after being thrown rocks at. The crowd is said to have been devastated because W.A.S.P. and Dark Tranquillity cancelled their sets due to technical problems and blamed Megadeth for it. Reportedly, W.A.S.P. and Megadeth had some arguments that led to the cancellation of the shows and the fans didn't approve of this.
Dark Tranquillity posted the following on their Facebook page: "To our Croatian fans: we're sorry for the cancellation of our show at today's Metalfest, but the festival changed the playing schedule around so that it would have been logistically and technically impossible for us to perform at the new time slot. We were really looking forward to the show and hope to return as soon as possible."
Megadeth, however, haven't released any official statement yet, but the band's Facebook page is filled with comments from Croatian fans apologizing for what happened. More details should be revealed soon.

07.06.2012 - 00:21 Written by Boxcar Willy on 06.06.2012 at 21:40 Yeah from what Ive read he just doesnt like playing with them but only bans them from shows he organizes, which includes "festivals'(if you could call it that) like Gigantour, and even then I dont think he ever officially "banned" bands but just stated he's not going to book satanic bands. Though he still plays with these bands at Euro Festivals Im pretty sure. I dont see anything wrong with him not including satanic bands on his own shows either, would you book an atheist/agnostic intolerant band for a show your organizing and sponsoring? And I dont really know what you are saying about the Christian/Islamic stuff, I dont see why he would ban a christian band, when Dave is more or less christian. As for the Rock throwing and the supporters of it, thats just fucked up. Im not the biggest fan of Megadeth and know Dave is a lil butthole at times, but he doesnt deserve shit like this. Maybe I would understand it if it had been Axl up there but even still, no one in the music industry deserves That much hate. fruit/food are one thing but rocks are too much.

07.06.2012 - 00:23 Written by nicaZe on 06.06.2012 at 23:04 actually bands need to have class in order not to be stoned on stage(Maiden proved this during their shows in Balkan,Metallica also,Slayer,Behemoth, and many more) ...i think that balkan's audience is far more demanding in shows ...so if bands act unprofessional audience plainly respond... The only reason why Megadeth was stoned was probably the unprofessional behavior of them self,not the drunk rage of minority of fans... but than again i dont care about Megadeth anyway...

07.06.2012 - 00:30 Written by ANGEL REAPER on 07.06.2012 at 00:23 Yes, I was on Maiden in Croatia and Whitesnake/Judas Priest in Serbia, it was great...I also don't care about Megadeth, but those things will ''kill'' us...bands won't come to Balkan and I hardly want to see a lot of them...that is just what I want to say...

07.06.2012 - 00:47 Written by BitterCOld on 07.06.2012 at 00:32 a bit of both actually .... of course i dont support throwing stones or assaulting musicians at shows as well as assaulting other people at shows,security etc (as partly musician myself i would not like to that happen to me - in fact if someone would throw something on me i would just throw that shit back...but that is different story) but i think that audience have right to show their disapproval of bands actions on stage and during the festival (hey they payed the ticket to see them and after all if there weren't them the band would never existed ->had money,being famous etc ). Partly i understand why the audience reacted that way > see ,not many top-end bands came here regularly and the shows are rare so the fans do expect that shows will be some kind of "religious experience" to them...when they get disappointed, they easily burst int rage..its not just the matter with metal shows ,the same thing can be applied to sport matches ,political campaigns,wars.... in a word ,thing that can be described as "Balkans,the gun powder barrel!"

Disapproval is booing or jeering. that is acceptable. rock throwing? no wonder no one goes that. reading shit like that would make me think twice about ever playing a gig in Croatia were I in a "big" metal band. Or even Venice, lest Croats cross the border. fuck that noise.

07.06.2012 - 00:53 Written by BitterCOld on 07.06.2012 at 00:49 I agree, I mean I really dislike megadave, but noone should have to face being stoned, while trying to play your music. I would have booed like there was no tomorrow if I was there, but I wouldn't throw rocks. I see that as a "This is why we can't have nice things" moment.

If WASP or DT had to cancel coz of them, I understand crowd's behaviour. Otherwise, not really. Don't even know what is true or not, so meh.

I don't get it, why would anyone pick W.A.S.P. over Megadeth? I mean, I'm not the biggest fan of Megadeth's recent stuff, but I would have expected people to be more pissed about not seeing Dark Tranquility. Maybe. If that was something to get pissed about. As for the rocks: kinda excessive. I was at a rap concert last summer and one of my favorite artists was having technical problems, but he kept it light hearted while people sorted shit out. I don't see how throwing rocks was necessary, waterbottles, sure. But rocks are a bit much.

Anybody who thinks even remotely that it's good that the audience "responds" to something they don't like (with the stupid excuse "we bought the ticket") with rocks is a giant dick.
