[@billyeveryteen7328]

I listened to Brian Stack being interviewed on the Inside Conan podcast, and got some more insight into this madness. This wasn't a bit that Late Night put together, the actual band Slipknot asked Brian, Andy, and Jon to open for them, and the crowd, who was there to see Slipknot, really did hate the Slipnutz antics. You can't really see it in the parts they aired, but according to Brian, they had to be escorted off the stage when the crowd started chucking bottles at them.

[@Zodroo_Tint]

Heavy metal fans are famous for not having a good sense of humor or open mind.

[@JoshPhoenix11]

Yeah but it wasn't even like they were first on, Lamb of God had played first and the crowd were already warmed up. None of them realized what they had gotten themselves into. Imagine them following Lamb of God its a wonder it wasn't worse than it was. They were told before they went on that these heavy metal crowds throw batteries even at bands they like. They were genuinely shitting themselves.
