@RockedNet I saw a show once where Don Dokken threatened to stop the show because a fan got mistreated by security and thrown out. Don said that if he didn't see that fan by.the time he finished the next song, he was going to stop the show and leave.

[@xXMachineGunPhillyXx]

People being rude to musicians that they *paid money* to see will always be super bizarre to me.

[@RockedNet]

Especially if you see so many people happy to be there.

[@alex_flamer]

​@RockedNet It's like some people don't even care all that much about the music or seeing a band/artist live. They just want attention while being in a public space, and they enjoy that more than anything else. Also happens when you work in retail.

[@lowfat0g]

Are you joking, people always get mad at things they paid for.

[@heidibaltom8138]

Yeah i dont get it either.

[@MysticalBeard]

Tbf, if i had a dead husband and someone brought a banner of his face to my show i'd not be too pleased either

[@RockedNet]

Yeah I can't argue what started the meltdown there.

[@outstretchedwings]

Especially if my entire career, people thought I was only getting ahead because of who I was married to. And then I was accused of staging his murder to look like a suicide, even though his mental health struggles and heroin addiction were well-documented.

I was at that Boston Jane’s Addiction show. “Train wreck in slow motion” is an apt description.

[@RockedNet]

Good chance that's the final Jane's Addiction show you saw.

[@andrewgeiger8795]

I saw them earlier on that tour, and while it was a good show and I had a great time, it's clear looking back on it that something felt off between them. Call me naively optimistic, but I really hope everything turns out ok between everyone.

[@Woozy.0]

Heard he massacred Dave backstage

[@MrPig-gf6qv]

Forgive the onslaught of questions, but it just makes me super sad since I've been listening to Jane's Addiction since 1993. 1. How far into the show were they? 2. Was the only issue that Dave's guitar was too "loud"? Isn't that the Sound Engineer's job? (I'm NOT implying Perry was in the right, just to be clear.) 3. From the clip I have seen, the band was amazing and Perry was just kind of yelling?

[@CustodianVirgil]

I feel like you could say Ronnie Radke's whole career is like an onstage meltdown.

[@RockedNet]

It's still going so we'll see what can be added to future videos.

[@ElliYeetYT]

It’s just a game that he plays.

[@outstretchedwings]

Why else would the Rocked guy refer to him as Ronald McDonald?

[@TheGawd100]

I'll always remember when he kicked a band off the tour right before playing their hometown. It was like this meltdown but against multiple people. One guy was just wearing an Escape the Fate shirt and got kicked out, at least this guy was wearing something offensive lmao

[@calebnorvell8940]

That particular Ronald the Clown/Scene Kid Rock tantrum is precisely why I will *never* respect him as a man. Well-connected young adults look pathetic when they go all "mY fAtHeR wIlL hEaR oF tHiS". This is a middle-aged adult, confronting another middle-aged adult who I can only assume is quite a loser in his own right. All he had to do to "win" was to not even dignify the guy in the crowd with a response.

[@leperwitch]

Important things to consider about a couple of these: 1. Courtney Love has had to deal with crap from "fans" for so long, including really obnoxious antics like this Brazilian fan pulled off. I don't blame her one bit for being upset. 2. The front man from The Vines is autistic and that adds another layer to why he completely melted down during that live performance. Hours of intense rehearsal and overstimulation drove him into that direction. I felt horrible watching that footage.

[@Rinasoir]

Can't fault Love's reason for having a meltdown, but dang if she didn't go all over the place

[@markjames8664]

That’s so Courtney.

[@theneonchimpchannel9095]

The Disturbed one is weird. People are on phones all the time at show for a variety of reasons. We wouldn't have most of this footage if it wasn't for people with phones. However, people use their phones for all sorts of reasons. It could have been someone making notes for a review which would have become a particularly scathing review after an incident like that.

[@AceHuman]

Seriously, this exact reason is why its strange to comment on an audience holding their phone.

You don't mess with Shirley Manson. By all accounts, she's one of the nicest people in rock but if you mess with her, she knows how to handle herself. There's several videos of her stopping the show because someone in the audience was acting up. There's also footage of her falling off the stage and barely missing a note, she's tough.

[@darrenhood4033]

In that KISS clip you can clearly see Peter Criss just completely blasted. He's being held up by Ace as they're standing there heckling the idiot in the audience. He also needed help returning to his drum kit. I would say that Paul was probably a bit more agitated prior to the laser pointer.

[@RoseKoneko]

[@Falxifer95]

It's insane to me how most of these meltdowns of years past were caused by rude hecklers and invasive clowns purposefully taunting and throwing crap at the artists and that was seen as crossing a line, compared to today where attention starved, TikTok addicted psychos throwing stuff to the detriment of artists' and performers' wellbeing has become normalized.

Man being in a band is hard

[@jliller]

People - usually guys - hyped up on adrenaline, often under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, and under the stress of trying to perform live for anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours in front of an audience that is usually drunk. In many of these cases, entertainers who are past their prime and desperately trying to cling to relevancy out of a love for music, financial desperation, and/or not knowing what else to do with their lives. Honestly, it's kind of surprising there aren't even more problems than there are.

[@rozzie101]

The Vines meltdown on Late Night, amazing .

[@alex_flamer]

The Jane's Addiction incident is ironic to me because I went to Lollapalooza for the first time this summer, a festival that Perry Farrell started. And on an unrelated note, I also saw Foo Fighters in New York City. However, I never saw this metldown or Dave Grohl cheating on his wife coming.

[@Awells89]

Ronnie Radke is essentially Steve Smith from American dad when he "goes bananas"

[@krisherdown]

I could not love Shirley Manson more. The Kurt Cobain poster "fan" - we all know that Courtney Love is not what one would call stable (and she really doesn't look well in that clip) so there's a special place in hell for a "fan" like that. I had never seen the Kurt Cobain meltdown... that one is frightening and makes me wonder about the people around him.

[@sandeesandwich2180]

There was a band on Letterman that the audience reacted well to, and Dave asked them to play it again. They seemed to be totally flummoxed by the request. So Dave turned to Paul and the band, and, even though that was the first time the Late Show band had heard the song, they played it without a hitch. I got the impression none of them were impressed by the guest band.

I think Eric Avery was also in that Garbage show, he was their bassist for some time after Jane's and it looked like him tuning the bass behind Shirley... Also it was not the first time this happened with Perry either

[@MrPig-gf6qv]

The Jane's Addiction meltdown is really sad to be since I've been into Jane's Addiction since 1993. They were such a highly respected band that was weird, cool and could seemingly do anything. Perry being intoxicated and going after Dave over his guitar being too "loud" is just heartbreaking for several reasons, one of which being he probably feels he can't perform unless intoxicated. This being the apparent end to such a legendary band means the future generations probably won't have Jane's Addiction to discover. This will be their legacy and it is a TRAGIC waste! I am hoping a comeback can happen.

Coincidentally, Disturbed headlined that event, but the lead singer didn't act like a douche canoe to anyone there.

Based on other video clips from Disturbed shows where I've seen David Draiman interacting with and comforting audience members, my impression is that he is basically a good person who just let his ego get in the way for a moment and acted on impulse when he called out that one lady for texting during his show without knowing what the circumstances were. So personally I'm not going to hold that against him. We all act without thinking and let our ego get the best of us from time to time. I do it and everyone in these comments does it.
