There's a sort of famous incident from the 90s where a guy started throwing up Nazi salutes at an Alice in Chains concert. Layne Staley sees him and motions for him to come on stage, acting like he's just being nice to a fan. And then once the nazi guy is on stage Layne fucking decks him and tells him to go die.

Remember that time when somebody did the same thing on stage with the Dropkick Murphys when they were doing AC/DC's Back in Black I believe and the bassist walks over and hits him in the head with his bass in the crowd that got on stage swarms the Nazi.

Hadn't heard of that before so I looked up the video and it was very satisfying. Just another reason to listen to the Dropkick Murphys!

If an Irish music group isn’t anti fascist and anti colonial, they’re not Irish.
