This video is a week old, but it’s just picking up steam thanks to attention from Gawker and others, and it’s always nice to see someone who thinks it’s funny to throw up a Nazi salute get his ass kicked in front of a capacity crowd. The Dropkick Murphys were playing a show at New York City’s Terminal 5 last Thursday, and during a cover of the AC/DC classic “TNT”, one of the dozens of fans on stage unleashed a little “Heil Hitler” action to the crowd (around the 8-minute mark).
Ken Casey, singer and bass player, quickly noticed and went after the dipshit, but the camera man didn’t follow all that well. Fortunately, one fan offered up a description:
“Ken Casey… ran right over to the guy, smashed him in the face, took off his bass and hit him with that and then jumped on him and all out chaos ensued. We could only assume from our vantage point that said nazi got his ass kicked. About 30 seconds later Ken emerged from the pileup with his shirt torn and made his way back to the front of the stage. He strapped on his bass and said into the microphone “Nazis are NOT FUCKING WELCOME at a Dropkick Murphys show.” (Rocks Off)
There’s really nothing like a good, old-fashioned story about a rock band’s singer kicking the crap out of some shithead in the crowd, because they’re few and far between these days. Well, unless Rihanna’s sitting front row at a Chris Brown show, and then it’s just par for the course.
It would have been funnier if he had drop kicked him.
As often as this craphole site is updated with posts, could some of the other crap be updated too? As much as I enjoy looking at Mariah Carey’s side boob and Octomom being bizarre, surely there is something else going on. At least most of the Crowd Favorites are current.
How much do they pay for these publicity stunts…?
For future reference, tell us where in the video the thing happens. I watched several minutes and couldn’t find it.
And 30 second ads for videos of unknown length make me, usually, not watch videos.
This is one of the many, many reasons why you never let the entire crowd come onto the stage. Shit will hit the fan… guaranteed.
Also, Zionium: he did say where it happens “(around the 8-minute mark).”
Fair enough. I recall my previous statement, and replace it with this one:
Please reference the time in a place that is less likely to be skimmed over. I honestly tried to read every word, but there were a lot. And then I tried to look for it briefly after reading the article. It’s my fault I didn’t find it. But still, put it at the very end, or the very beginning. It’s just the polite thing to do.
