That was smooth. Most lead singers would stop singing and just go bat shit loco on the kid but not Trevor.

if they didn’t want fans up on stage, they should have posted a barricade and / or a no stage-diving rule. you don’t strike a fan unless self-defense is necessary. this has left a bad taste in my mouth about this band.

Seriously? I don’t think he cared about having kids on the stage. I think he had a problem with the kid trying to awkwardly grab/hug him. I would have done the same thing.

I agree with you Ganglor. Trevor didn’t give a shit until the kid tried to hug him or whatever. Anyone would have reacted the same. The kid should have known not to do that shit during the show. Besides, it looks more like a shove than anything. The kid is probably just laughing about it anyway

Maybe Bd needs to tone down the badassness of their music, so no one will stage dive into a pile of like minded, alcohol and testosterone fueled adolescents. Face punching is as metal as it gets. Kudos to Trevor.

the whole place is going crazy, black dahlia are killing it..so the kid runs up to give him a hug? what the hell did he expect, enjoy your 15 minutes kid.

It’s pretty hilarious if you freeze frame it second for second and watch him fall and jump right back into the crowd like nothing happened. I’m still laughing.

I wouldn’t be suprised if the kid pressed charges against Trevor.

i would like to take this time to quote from the movie The Hangover…. “Oh, in the face! IN THA FACE!”

Hug denied! But still, the kid deserves getting smacked for even wanting to hug a guy as big and sweaty as the BDM singer.

That was a fucking tap, if Trevor wanted to punch the kid, his hand would have gone through the back of his skull

Non-story, the kid realized he was a douche, and awkwardly dove into the crowd, he didn’t even hit im that hard

that wasn’t a real punch. he could’ve fucked the kid up if he wanted to he’s quite a bit bigger. i think it was just a quick reaction

The guy pinched Trevors nipple really fucking hard. This is all over the internet. It’s not hard to find.

If some kid jumped up on stage and did that shit to me, I’d react the same way. BDM are far from being assholes. If you’ve met them, you’d know that.

i think a donkey-punch would’ve been more metal.

eh, I think it was a bitch move. First off, it’s not hard to keep singing and maybe put your arm around the kid for a second, he’s obviously a fan. And second, you don’t want the kid hugging you, fine, push him away. You don’t make a fist and contact his face. If it was a bigger man trying to hug him he probably wouldn’t have punched him, but he saw it was a small kid and decided to be really aggressive. Bitch move.

[...] the face? That’s the only thing I can keep asking myself after viewing the below video, which The PRP posted last [...]

Him punching the kid gets great press for the band.

oh and as for the video itself, kid is a fucking faggot. i would have punched him too.

I spat coffee all over my screen at how hilarious that was. Oh man…Maybe Trev-trev might’ve KO’d the kid if he’d been hitting the gym a bit more and laying off the nachos.

Face punching is a lot cooler than floor punching, that’s for sure.

If you’re somewhat of a video game nerd, this picture kind of sums up this whole situation

that was awesome!!! take that england. hahaha

gg allin would be proud

@Ganglor.

Ha..nice. But I swear I’m not a game nerd.

Of course if he did that in the US there would be a lawsuit.

yeah, agreed — the punch wasn’t even hard… that was more like Trevor shoved his face away with his fist — yeah i could see ole dude trying to bring assault charges against Trevor but also what came to mind is you gotta remember that this is post-Dimebag — when someone jumps on stage and grabs you unexpectedly, I think people are naturally gonna be a bit more reactive than in the past. i’m kinda torn on the deal… yeah kind of a d**khead thing to do to punch some kid/fan who obviously just got caught up in the moment and got a little too excited (and maybe a boner for Trevor)… but whatever. as said… not like it was a crowbar to the skull, it was a love tap. Now if he pulled a Danzig on him……..

Hey man, people invade your 2 feet of space it gets kinda weird sometimes. Especially if you aren’t expecting it. It didn’t even look like he hit him that hard just gave him a wake up call to step the fuck off. He probably got way worse in the pit more than once outside of what was caught on video anyway.
