Jason Silverstein of the New York Daily News reports:
Singer Glenn Danzig butted heads, literally, with a fan at a Montreal show.
According to TMZ, the singer reportedly ordered his security to assault the fan — and then beat the man personally — because he refused to stop taking pictures at a the show Sunday night (October 18th).
According to TMZ, the singer allegedly ordered his security to assault the fan — and then beat the man personally — because he refused to stop taking pictures at the show Sunday night (October 18th).
This is reportedly second time in four months that Danzig has assaulted a fan for photographing him.
The alleged victim, Neil Dalton, wrote in a now deleted Facebook post that he spent $100 and traveled to Montreal to see the show, only to get an unexpected fright when Danzig spotted him snapping photos. Danzig reportedly stopped his show to call out Dalton for violating his famous no-photo policy — then had security remove the fan and beat him, Dalton said.
Security allowed Dalton back into the show, only to drag him out once again, and this time Danzig joined in the attack, Dalton said.
The furious fan uploaded a photo that might make Danzig himself uneasy, showing his bloodied and battered face. a href=”http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music/glenn-danzig-allegedly-assaulted-fan-pictures-article-1.2407568″ target=”_blank”>Click here to see the photo.
Montreal police confirmed it filed a report and is investigating but released no further details. Danzig’s rep did not return requests from the Daily News for a comment.
In July, a fan filmed himself confronting Danzig after a show for stealing a phone from the crowd. Danzig abruptly put him in a headlock and pulled him into a bus — a beating another fan caught on camera.
On the upside, his beatings are a nice change of pace from the infamous video of a fellow rocker knocking him out cold in a backstage brawl.
The New Jersey native, whose real name is Glenn Anzalone, is now touring North America, and photos apparently aren’t his only gripe — he swears he’s ready to stop touring altogether.
“I think this is going to be it,” he told Loudwire after his Wednesday (October 21st) show in New York City.
“I’ll do some shows here or there, but I don’t think I’m going to tour anymore.”
In other Danzig news, the singer will be releasing a covers album called, Skeletons, on November 27th. Danzig will be covering songs by artists such as Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Elvis Presley, ZZ Top, as well as others. To read all about this impending release, please go here.

After they ejected that guy, I guess the other 3 audience members must have had a really good view.
Luckily of the remaining audience members, one was in the upper deck, one was in the toilet with diaherea and the third has season tickets to all events at that venue and was only staying until his kids swimming practice was over.
All three comments are absolutely hysterical…and yeah, who would pay for pics of Glenn Danzig??
Was Danzig actually concerned that this guy was going to sell those photos for financial gain?
Glenn has anger issues. Big surprise, one word- MOTHER I wonder if he’s figured that out or has really begun to embrace them? HA!
Sad for Dalton and all these other “fans”. Anyone else think he looks like an angry munchkin who likes to pace/dance around and yank on his mic cord? Fun guy.
Whether the guy taking the pictures deserved to have his ass kicked or not, what the hell was Glenn Danzig thinking? Oh yeah, that’s right, HE WASN’T!!!
P.S. Cowboys to stomp on the Midgets at AT&T Stadium East this Sunday!
Oh come on now, was that really necessary? LOL! I have to admit that I do like Matt Cassel, maybe he learned a thing or two about cheating from Bellid-ck?
AT&T Stadium? I thought that place was called Jerry Jones’ Ego and Facelift Stadium? 😉
Go Giants!

Wait, I just realized the Giants are playing the Cowgirls at home at Met Life Stadium. What’s AT&T Stadium? LOL!
Go G MEN

Okay, for the slow people, I’ll explain.
Last three meetings at MetLife Stadium:
2012 – Cowboys 24 Midgets 17
2013 – Cowboys 24 Midgets 21
2014 – Cowboys 31 Midgets 28
I’d say that makes it AT&T Stadium East, or Jerry’s Ego East if you prefer.
That’s not nice to call me slow 🙁 That smug comment left a lot to be desired. 😉
Man, you Dallas fans are a nasty bunch. When I was Cowboys fan in my youth, (I still proudly have my Tony Dorsett #33 Jersey and have much LOVE and respect for him as a player), I was never that kind of fan. I would like to think that Giants fans are way more civilized, thank you very much.
I suppose if Dallas does win on Sunday, I can expect a WWE Smackdown type gloating posted here. If we win, you will hear nothing but silence from me. Satisfaction is a reward unto itself.
But, I will say this, while the Cowboys may have one more S.B. trophy in their case, you have NONE with Romo, we have two with Manning.
Have a great NFL Sunday.
Go GMEN.
