There's been a disturbing recent trend of fans throwing things at musicians onstage, hoping for a morsel of internet fame. Unfortunately, as this video shows, it's an issue artists have been dealing with for a while.

Never forget during Woodstock 94 when Primus was playing "My Name Is Mud" and they got mud thrown at them (as it was heavily raining throughout the day and the concert took place in a grass field). Les Claypool responded by stopping the song and saying "You know, when you throw things onstage, it's a size of small and insignificant genitalia." The crowd immediately stopped and hurled nothing for the rest of their set. Legendary.

This video is missing Chester Bennington. He didn't get hit but something threw a jug close to him and he did a stare down while singing directly at that person. That was one month before he died and people like Loudwire made fun of him for it. Edit: Mind you, they were the headliners, and the fan probably did not like the song "Heavy." They could have just left the festival early.

Oh God, for one to not be a fan of Justin Bieber, like at all, I'm still disappointed that someone would do that to him. Imagine being a young child, like at least a teen and creating music that makes teen girls wee in joy, and having to deal with your haters, I can see why he had become a douce later on. Still not a fan of him, but I would never do anything to hurt him, maybe a complaint about his plain music, but never, ever hurt him. I'm not only mad at the concert goers but also the managers for having a teenager, a childish teenager who seems to have a lot of joy, and put him on the top of the world. For shame. Now can we have more metal videos loudwire?

Saw Metallica in 1998 at the Gorge at George. Some ass threw a bottle at Newstead right in the middle of One. They stopped, James pointed the guy out, people took turns punching the guy as he was herded to the barrier and handed over to security. To their credit, they picked up right where they left off and continued the song.
