Relax.



The usually whiny, holier than thou Henry Rollins shows a little restraint here after getting pegged in the head with a full beer can at a show in Germany. He flexes a lot, snarls some, threatens with a mic stand, but then begins playing again without a physical altercation.

Ben Weasel could learn a little something from Rollins' 1983 performance. The crabby little front man of Screeching Weasel decided to start punching women in the audience at at SXSW show this past weekend. Now we all know that aggro squatter punk chicks can be super obnoxious, it isn't very "punk" to go ahead and start punching them. Then again it isn't very punk to play SXSW, under corporate sponsor banners, and then have the gall to whine about it as Ben did on his twitter feed leading up to the performance. At least he issued an apology for being a total douche bag.

Here's the video of Weasel punching girls before he's manhandled off the stage.

Thank you for posting this. Henry Rollins getting hit with a beer can and Ben Weasel getting roughed up by bouncers is possibly the best way to feel good on a Monday. I have hated Ben Weasel since he started making his shit music. People in Chicago love this fucker and I have never known why. The pop-punk scene is full of so many pencil dicks and douche bags, it's enough to make you punch a girl. Well, almost. I hope this guy gets flogged by gigantic Polish sausages.
