12 Brutal Times Famous Musicians Attacked Their Own Fans

6. Kurt Cobain

He may have become a countercultural icon, but Kurt Cobain could could across as seriously self-important during Nirvana's stage shows. There are numerous videos of him swinging his guitar aimlessly at innocent audience members and getting into seemingly unnecessary fights. One such incident involves him attacking a bouncer, rather than a fan. Cobain goes crowd-surfing, and the security guy tries to drag him back onstage. He's doing, y'know, his job. Cobain, unhappy with the infringement, smacks the enormous bouncer with his guitar... And subsequently begins to take a beating from the much larger man. Fortunately for Cobain, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic jump in to help him sharpish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5vXdbGtzLI
