Emmure frontman Frankie Palmeri claims an attempted conversation with Glenn Danzig during today’s opening day of the ‘Louder Than Life’ festival resulted in him being removed from the side stage by Danzig’s security.
Both artists performed at the Louisville, KY festival on September 17, with Palmeri later taking to social media to detail an encounter that reportedly occurred while Pantera were performing.
According to Palmeri, he briefly made his way to the side stage to watch Pantera’s set before attempting to speak with Danzig, who was also backstage. Palmeri says the interaction led to Danzig’s security asking him to leave the area and allegedly removing his festival access pass.
Palmeri explained:
“For a split second tonight…I was able to watch the mighty @Pantera perform at @LTLFest from side stage…some years ago…I even got asked to cover Pantera songs live as tribute to Dimebag and Vinny Paul… I have a lot of love for Pantera…and Phil… I made the mistake of attempting to strike a conversation with Glen Danzig…while side stage…which lead to his security demanding I be removed from the stage and stripped of my access pass. For what? Being a human being and asking about a mutual friend? FUCK Glen Danzing, FUCK his security, FUCK that dumb cunt stage manager who acted like I wasn’t worthy of being there to watch them perform.”
Palmeri’s comments have since circulated online, though Danzig has not publicly responded to the claim at the time of publication.
The incident occurred during the first day of this year’s ‘Louder Than Life’ festival, which features performances from a wide range of rock and metal acts.
