Title: Great Adventure Bans Metal Concerts Following Microphone Stand Throwing Incident

Welp, that was fun while it lasted...

Metal themed rock concerts are no longer a welcome form of entertainment at Six Flags Great Adventure thanks to the actions of Ronnie Radke, lead singer of the post-hardcore band Falling in Reverse. Radke injured two fans in the audience after hurling three microphone stands off the stage.

In a video captured by a fan on Youtube, Radke is performing shirtless for the band's final song of their headlining set, "The Drug in Me Is You."  It is unclear what motivated Radke to toss the microphone stands into the crowd, as the crowd seemed well behaved and his band was in good spirits after a sweaty show. The singer finished with a simple, "Thank you! Good Night!"

I have been to so many metal shows and never seen anything like that happen. That is just reckless and stupid.
