Five Finger Death Punch certainly had their fun with All That Remains frontman Phil Labonte. Labonte was among the guest vocalists to step in for Ivan Moody, who exited the band’s recent tour early to head home and reportedly address his alleged substance abuse issues. During the final stop of the tour in Duluth, GA this past Saturday, December 10th, the band affixed a dildo to Labonte‘s microphone stand. Footage of that can be seen below.
Meanwhile, the band and their crew also mischievously changed the words of the teleprompter Labonte was using to learn the songs, altering the lyrics of “The Bleeding” from “I remember when all the games began” to “I remember when all the dicks began.” Due to the last minute nature of Labonte‘s stepping in for the band, he wound up singing it to the audience. Unfortunately the video that best captures that is a private Instagram post, but you can still make it out and watch the band laughing about that below as well.
