Fight! Fight! Fight!

Members of rock bands Finch and Disturbed brawled on-stage in front of 25,000 startled fans in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

“It’s the worst fight I’ve seen in music,” said Laura Farr, a photographer who attended the Rolling Rock Town Fair in August. “At one point, they almost rolled off the stage.”

As Finch were setting up, Disturbed guitarist Don Donegan pointed mockingly at Finch. Words were exchanged and Disturbed rushed the stage. Some fans reacted with cheers and jeers; others flung mud on the scrapping musicians.

The fight was ignited by an interview that appeated in 2002, when Finch’s Randy Strohmeyer threatened to shoot Disturbed’s David Draiman “in the fucking head,” saying, “Their music is terrible, and what they’re all about, it’s just shit.”

Police arrived at the scene but no charges were filed. Both bands refused comment.
