Reading has been the site if many such incidents. Only last year Panic! at The Disco frontman Brendon Urie was floored by a projectile hurled from the moshpit. The tradition can be traced back to 1985, when both Meat Loaf and Bonnie Tyler were sent packing from Reading's main stage by a combination of mud and 'piss bombs'. That year, Meat Loaf fueled his assailants' ire with a memorably ill-advised taunt.
"Are you people here to enjoy the music?" bellowed the corpulent rocker. "Or are you just gonna stand there and throw shit?" Big mistake. The sky instantly turned black with massed missiles.
