Mustaine maimed at Metalfest

Megadeth were forced to pull the plug and flee the stage recently after the crowd began throwing rocks at them – specifically at Dave Mustaine.

Punters at Metalfest Open Air Festival in Croatia reportedly threw rocks and beer bottles during Megadeth’s performance, calling for the appearance of W.A.S.P., who had cancelled their own appearance earlier in the day.

It is believed that W.A.S.P.’s Blackie Lawless had refused to perform after a disagreement with Mustaine. However, others believe that the main reason is due to Mustaine’s “no performance with Satanists” policy.

Whatever the reason, Mustaine eventually left the stage after being struck in the head with a rock.
