HPX500 almost destroyed by maniac

[Guy_Cochran]

So I was shooting this rock show at the Gorge...happily dollying along on a gorgeous Memorial day when this lunatic lead singer decides to get crazy and starts throwing objects into the crowd.

First a cymbal with riser, then a box fan....and next...almost..... an HPX500.

Please tell me that camera guy punched him in the face...

Looks like he's about to in the photo... gotta love rock n' roll!

 

[Jeff Anderson]

Nice... thanks for sharing!

 

[Zak Forsman]

did this MANIAC have a fork sticking out of his shoulder?

Rolling Stone got a better shot http://www.rollingstone.com/photos/gallery/21004831/random_notes_pete_wentz__ashlee/photo/10

What an idiot- I hope he got knocked out and thrown into the crowd. Thats Mars Volta for you...physco.

Gotta say though, thats a great work story to add to the collection ; )

 

[Gary Parkinson]

I want to punch him as well just from looking at the photo! What a looser.

Guy was probably on drugs.

Rolling Stone pulled the pic.

After a little googling I was able to locate video of the entire crazy altercation on Vimeo http://www.vimeo.com/1077097

 

[STORMDAVE]

He's on acid.

I bet I know who asked for that to be pulled.
There is only one way to describe that singer, "TOTAL WANKER"
Cammo did a good job of stopping him.

I like how the guitarist comes and slaps the singer off the camera.

Damn! Was that you shooting Guy?

Maybe it's time to invest in a taser... woulda made for some great footage!

 

[Erik Olson]

What a stellar douchebag. The band should give him more lyrics - it might give him something to do during their set.

Hey Ricky! Get this lame-o out of your yard!

Hey Xianchi! - Yup, that was me shooting - I'm using the exact same Miller Sticks and head that you bought from us for your HPX!

 

[dsleep]

that's you guy?

you are my hero!
what an awesome shot...

 

[RyanT]

This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard about. Was the camera a rental? Or was it your personal one?

I like this picture. This should be your wallpaper

holy sh.t - what a sicko freak show.

How much drug abuse does it take to make such a wrack out of a guy?

On the other hand..

If I would have to listen to this kind of ... err..
"Music" (personaly I´m more into Western Swing and Blue Grass) I would go nuts too.

Sweet photo! Guy's always so calm in his demo vids, here he's ready to go to war.
Absolutely awesome.
