News Blast: Riot At Metallica's Gig Gets 120 Arrested



At Metallica's Concert in Santiago, Chile last week, almost 120 fans were arrested while trying to impregnate the concert without any tickets.

The incident took place whilst the metal band was playing and local police had to use pepper-spray to regain the fans composure, leading to the injury of an officer and to the arrest of 120 people.

The Police stated the fans' misdeeds included drug possession, drinking in public and disorderly behavior.

Are Metallica's lyrics inducing and prevailing their fans' minds too much?
