Metallica
Outdoor show. 1998I made the stupid drunken mistake of crowd surfing. My cousin talked me into it and before I knew it I was 5 rows back from the stage. Everything was fine and dandy until some asshole ripped off my shoe, I yelled at him and the next thing I know they through me over the railing onto the concrete in front of the stage. Dazzed as fuck I hear "HOLY SHIT... IS THAT DUDE OK!?!" over the loudspeaker and I look up to see James Hetfield leaning over the edge of the stage pointing at me yelling into his mic "GIVE HIM HIS FUCKING SHOE BACK!" as security rushed to what I thought was going to be a severe ass kicking. They helped me to my feet and about a second later my shoe came flying back over and landed next to the guard. They helped me walk off to the side of the stage and the band went back to playing.
The funniest part was everything seemed to stop for a second after James yelled if I was ok, then, when my shoe came flying back over the crowd cheered like their favorite team just scored a touchdown and the band went back to playing.
My cousin seriously though I had broken my neck from the way I landed. We didn't tell my folks.
