Most badass thing a band has done...

[NinjaGeek]

...or gotten their audience to do during a live performance.

I haven't been listening to metal all that long, so I haven't been to many concerts or know much about the history. But I've heard some bands (mostly early black metal bands) have done things on stage that have resulted in death or injury to audience members. Just curious what are some of the standouts and most badass things that a band has ever done on stage (or off the stage if it's badass enough)?

Ask Mayhem.

Also, Dark Tranquillity's singer likes to pour beer all over the camera people for some reason.

How is injuring or killing audience members badass? It's fucking disrespectful is what it is. People pay to come see your show, not to get random objects hurled at their faces.

Your only saying that because it's Lamb of God.
