Apparently, at their recent Dynamo
festival appearance in Netherlands, which coincided with the same
weekend of international celebrations remembering the 60th Anniversary
of the D-Day invasion, SLAYER was preparing to play 'War Ensemble'. Tom
Araya (paraphrased): "Are you ready for war? (crowd goes wild). We'll
you weren't 60 years ago!"... After onstage anti-George Bush rhetoric
by Blaze Bailey (he began a song by saying "Kill & Destroy George
Bush!"), the singer from CAGE (Sean Peck) asked him what was up with
slagging Bush and the USA. Both participants had finished their sets
and were drunk. Words exchanged, Blaze reportedly asked, "Do you want
to have a go at me?" and lunged towards Peck, who clocked him. As the
former IRON MAIDEN singer was (ironically) falling down, Peck grabbed
his collar and in best hockey fight fashion, pummeled Bailey a few more
times. The result a quickly swollen and discolored eye...
