10 Artists Who Openly Dissed Their Fans

Anyone looking to stage dive at a show is entering at their own risk. Though bands like Anthrax and Lamb of God have made it their calling card to fans running up on stage every now and again, every once in a while you get a Marilyn Manson story where a fan gets a mic stand to the ribcage. Even though Tool's stage crasher started off nice enough, he probably wasn't ready to deal with a full on Judo move.

During the tour cycle for Aenima, the stage crasher comes on stage and attempts to talk to Maynard James Keenan midway through the song. While someone probably expected Maynard to throw him back into the crowd or something, he had a little something different in mind when he tackles the fan and holds him under his torso for a little while.

This wasn't just some passing thing either...Maynard holds him under him for the rest of the song, and if you know the average Tool song length, you know that's a long time. It doesn't even seem like the fan minds very much, soaking in the moment for all its worth and just riding out the rest of the tune. Although many fans know the consequences of stage crashing, who would have though that a full frontal assault would factor into things?
