Man Stabbed After Dissing AC/DC

AC/DC's Brian Johnson and Angus YoungA Winnipeg man will serve two years in prison for the dirty deed of stabbing an acquaintance when the visitor ridiculed his choice of music: AC/DC.

After drinking a few beers together in James Ivison's rooming-house apartment, the visiting neighbor began questioning Ivison's manhood, sparking a brawl. When the victim picked up a frying pan, Ivison stabbed him five times in the midsection with a kitchen knife. The prosecuting attorney told the court that Ivison became enraged when his neighbor suggested he was a little, you know, AC/DC.

Luckily, the victim's major organs were unharmed. The prosecutor said a longer sentence would've been sought if the victim had cooperated with the investigation. ""He wasn't overly interested in assisting the prosecution," the prosecutor, Dave Mann, told the Winnipeg Sun. "He said he felt empowered by this -- if this didn't kill him nothing would."

I guess you can't blame AC/DC. But, this never happens when someone disses Glass Tiger or Foghat!

That's more like it Ron. See, Ron knows how to keep from hurting somebodies feelings. Watch out though, Ron don't take no $#!+. He'll whip out a pair of frozen carrots, tie them together; and use them on you like numbchucks!

The person who was stabbed and killed by a Hell's Angel was shooting at The Stones as they were playing. It's on film for crying out loud. If that Angel didn't do what he did, one of the Stones or the crew would've been shot to death.
The idea of using the Angels for security came from Sam Cutler, the Grateful Dead's road manager. It was not a good idea, because they let the Angels park their bikes in front of the stage and that was an even worse idea because people rush the stage all the time. But since the Stones were using the Dead's equipment rather than ship their own out to Altamont, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
