LSD Strikes Again, Apparently
LSD, and I don’t mean the drug. I mean “lead singer’s disease.” I just happened upon the post below about singer Frankie Palmeri of the Metal band Emmure.
Keep in mind, I follow about a zillion Metal acts across various platforms - not just Glam artists.
Anyway, remember Danzig? You know, of “Mother” fame? Well, they formed in 1987, essentially rising out of the Misfits. But who am I telling? You’re reading a music site; you know Danzig.
Anyway, I’d read in the past that singer Glen Danzig can be a bit of a jerk. I was still taken aback when I read that he had Palmeri removed from the Louder Than Life festival in Louisville, KY, this weekend. Why? Because Frankie attempted to talk to Glen backstage.
Keep in mind: Palmeri was at Louder Than Life working. Emmure performed. He had a performer’s pass and access to the stages. We’re not talking about a crazed nut who fought his way on stage or something.
I don’t know why this surprises me so much.
Danzig probably didn’t know Palmeri, so whatever. But did he have to be such a jerk? The X post from Palmeri reads in full below (copied directly):
“For a split second tonight...I was able to watch the mighty @Pantera perform at @LTLFest from side stage...some years ago...I even got asked to cover Pantera songs live as tribute to Dimebag and Vinny Paul...I have a lot of love for Pantera...and Phil... I made the mistake of attempting to strike a conversation with Glen Danzig...while side stage...which lead to his security demanding I be removed from the stage and stripped of my access pass. For what? Being a human being and asking about a mutual friend? FUCK Glen Danzing, FUCK his security, FUCK that dumb cunt stage manager who acted like I wasn't worthy of being there to watch them perform.”
