Switch Blade Thrown At Stray Cats - Brain Setzer

http://www.briansetzer.com/

During Thursday night's Stray Cats performance in Paris, France, what appeared to be a switchblade knife was thrown onstage late in the show. Brian was struck in the hand by the object. Although he was quite shaken but not seriously injured by this act of complete stupidity, he tried to carry on and complete all of the songs that the Cats had intended to perform. This incident and the fear that the next item thrown may have seriously injured himself, Slim Jim Phantom or Lee Rocker made continuing the show impossible.

Because of the dangerous actions of 1 spectator, the sold-out crowd was robbed of a full program. 5999 people came out to have fun and celebrate the last Stray Cats show in Paris and 1 nutter tarnished what could have been an incredible memory for all who filled the Zenith. Thankfully, Brian's hand was only bruised and at last report, he will be fine. Had that blade taken another path, we may have been reporting a much different situation. Thankfully we are not.

that's pretty weird -- why would someone throw a switchblade at him?

People they ain't no good...

Off "The Dirty Boogie" album, but that wasn't a Stray Cats song. Who knows? People are complete idiots.

Holy crap.

it's really ridiculous, too. I was always thankful my youngest sister knew Karate, because crazy fans would rush up on stage while she was performing. It was really scary.

I'm glad nobody was seriously injured. It could have been much worse. :-(

years ago -- Somone threw a frisbee and it hit him in the eye, so when we saw them in concert, he had a bandage over his eye.

Some people you can't dress 'em up and take them nowhere!

Guess it just takes one asshole to ruin a good thing.

nicely done :)

:D

So why in the hell is he complaining?
