Metal Sludge — In some brand new graphic backstage video, members of the band Crazy Town get into it and then-some.
The band’s co-lead singers Shifty Shellshock and Bobby Reeves got into a full on fist fight after their set on the Nu Metal Madness 2 tour in Myrtle Beach South Carolina on April 23rd and it was all caught by onlookers via their cell-phones.
It seems that Reeves was angry at Shellshock, who seemingly went MIA for the Myrtle Beach gig only to show up after the fact and wanted the band’s guarantee (money).
Reeves and Shellshock were filmed arguing and fist fighting to the point of both being bloodied.
The pair also exchanged some ugly verbal threats against the other’s family members and close associates.
Now the word is that Crazy Town has been kicked off the tour from headliners (hed)p.e..
REVOLVER writes: “According to multiple sources who witnessed the scuffle, the confrontation began when Shellsock didn’t show up for the band’s set at the Boathouse Waterway Bar & Grill, leaving Reeves to carry vocal duties alone.
In video from the set, the singer pauses multiple times to express how angry he is at his bandmate for ditching the gig, which is just the latest in a string of erratic behavior that Shellshock has engaged in (including kicking over a monitor during the previous night’s show on April 22nd).
Based on what we can see in video of the April 23rd show aftermath, Shellshock and Reeves were verbally confronting each other backstage when tempers raised and then fists started swinging. At one point, Shellshock can be seen lying beneath Reeves while his bandmate wails on him from above, bloodying Shellshock’s face.
Yesterday (April 25th), Reeves took to his Instagram stories to reassure fans that all was well in the Crazy Town camp, and that he and Shellshock had already made up. “Me and Shifty got in a little scuffle, but it’s all good. We’re brothers.”
However, that wasn’t enough to save them their spot on this current tour. Last night, (hed)p.e. frontman Jared Gomes announced that Crazy Town had been removed from the tour, also featuring Adema and Tantric. The singer also expressed his concern for Shellshock’s well-being.”
