Watch the video.

First we had Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder stopping a fight in the crowd during the European leg of their current tour.

Then Ian Astbury of the Cult stopped a fight in the crowd at a show in Washington D.C. and sent the fights’ aggressor to the back of the room.

Well, it’s happened again.

As an aside:  what’s with these fights at rock shows?  We’ve seen a lot lately.  Aren’t we going to the concert for a good time?  To relax a bit, chill out and vibe on our favorite songs from our favorite bands?  Can we start realizing that everyone at the show is a fan of the same band and we can start with that shared experience?

The other night in Toronto, Brent Smith from Shinedown left the stage to break up a fight.  From the video that we have at here we can see Brent leave the stage.  According to a published report he allowed the victim of the fight to watch the rest of the show from the side of the stage.

Don’t forget, Rat Rock Nation.  WRATFEST 2022 features Shinedown with Jelly Roll at the PNC Bank Arts Center on Saturday, September 10th.  Presented by Miller Lite!  Let’s keep the show chill, sound good?
