Teletubby 114,818 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Rock duo Royal Blood have come under fire after a bizarre on-stage meltdown at BBC Radio One's Big Weekend, during which they openly swore and mocked 'pathetic fans'. After being sandwiched between mainstream pop acts Niall Horan and Lewis Capaldi, Royal Blood's frontman Mike Kerr began mocking the audience and suggested they didn't know who the band were. 'Well I guess we should introduce ourselves considering no one knows who we actually are,' he began. 'We're called Royal Blood and this is rock music. Who likes rock music? Nine people... brilliant.' Introducing his bandmates, he added: 'This is Ben Thatcher and he plays drums... everybody say hi to Ben please. 'We're having to clap ourselves because that was so pathetic. Well done Ben.' Pointing to the cameraman on stage he then snapped: 'Will you clap for us? Will you clap? No you're busy. Oh yes even he's clapping. What does that say about you?' As the set came to a close, Kerr then slammed his guitar on stage and walked off with his middle fingers in the air to the audience. Following their dramatic performance, the band began receiving criticism online after a clip of the incident emerged. source i'm just a baby and @Juanlittlem is my ❀*·ꕤ. ☁️eternal enemy🌩️。˚❀ 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you start out insulting a crowd their energy is only going to dip from there. If I were there I would've been happy to enjoy their music without knowing them, but after the attitude I'd be like nah **** this and tune them out I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. 14 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimotheeChalamet 2,906 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 this attitude reminds me of Fall Out Boy playing before Linkin Park in Milan 9 years ago. There were a lot of people frying in the heat and most of them (included me) came for Linkin Park, and when they noticed they started to get petty lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
