Firefighter Arrested At Metallica Show

Metallica just finished up a two night run at Madison Square Garden, and at least one fan is likely still reeling from Sunday night's show. The NY Post reports that 33-year-old New York firefighter, Gerard Weihe, got ejected from the show by security guards (for standing on chairs and "making a racket"). After being tossed, he came back for an encore and kicked in a plate-glass window! So hardcore... and so arrested.

He stood on a chair and "made a racket" -- at a Metallica concert. You mean people actually heard him over the volume of the band?

BREAKING: Rowdy Concert Attendee Kicked Out

I was there; they rocked the roof off MSG:::::::)))))))))

At least he didn't illegally download any of their music. Metallica would have pushed for the death penalty.

I could see if this caused a problem at a Barry Manilow concert. But come on people this was Metallica.

Did he have a problem with the song "Fight Fire With Fire"?
