A quadriplegic AC/DC fan was seriously hurt at the band’s Brisbane, Australia, concert when his friend accidentally activated the joystick on his wheelchair, causing him to lurch forward into the mosh pit and resulting in a metal pin the man uses to maneuver objects to become embedded in his eye. The man is in serious but stable condition, and the Brisbane venue is now investigating the incident.

Mom always used to say..
“it’s all fun and games until you get a steel pin in your eye”
Prayers for the victim.
Was the injured party nicknamed Lucky?
Heavy metal.
I would have thought, most people at an AC/DC concert wouldn’t even notice if they got a steel pin in the eye.
But I haven’t been to a concert in a long time.

Your mom is weird.
"For those about to drop...we salute you!"
Dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap ...
Now he’s steely Dan.

A mosh pit at an AC/DC concert? I have been to more than a dozen concerts by them, and that would be the first time I have ever heard those words together in the same sentence.
Most of the time people are too busy rolling joints.

I’ve been to 5 AC/DC shows in 3 different decades and enjoyed every one.
This is what happens when you operate a DC motor on an AC/DC stage.
Then you have to implement a scoring system and national championship.
Metallica-Metal up your ***!
AC/DC-Metal in your eye!
I don’t associate mosh pits with AC/DC either, but have never attended one of their shows. I was in that tweener generation between the psychodelic 60s and the folk rock of CSNY, the Dead, Steely Dan and Little Feat. You know, the bands that actually have to tune up before they play :-)
We were WAAAAAAAY busier rolling joints than the AC/DC crowds, who we assumed were too busy headbanging to have the visual acuity to roll a good doobie.

Electrician humor. Who knew such a thing existed?
Good one, btw.
“Electrician humor. Who knew such a thing existed?”
You think that’s funny...wait till you see the bill...
(am an electrician)
I took my wife to her first concert about 10 years ago. I took my 17yo son to his first concert last year. AC/DC was my first concert back in 1982. Their music is timeless.
