Really...an excited fan who was probably still in high school runs on stage and you Hit him in the head with a guitar? Keith would Certainly be embarrassed about this event today. The poor kid probably just smoked his first joint or had his
First beer. He was about as threatening as a bunny rabbit.
Seems a little push or a nasty look would have been better. There were plenty of
stagehands poised to ESCORT excited fans off the stage.
Think about all those videos of fans running on the stage after Mick from the
sixties. What if Mick beat one of the 12 year olds with a microphone?
He didn't hit him in the head, obviously, if you look at the clip. If there was contact, it was more like in the shoulder.
Remember, this was a year after the Lennon murder.

The fan was just an excited kid. No excuse for hitting him in the head with a guitar! Keith seems to have or had some weird macho problem. My opinion anyway.

Damn good thing Keith didn't fully connect. A Telecaster is sturdy piece of wood and would packed a potentially lethal wallop. Still, Keith had no idea what the kid's intentions were and given what had happened to John Lennon he was well within his rights. Now, as to the original question which no one seems to have answered, just was who was that kid Keith almost decked with his guitar?

plain and simple-you're an idiot for jumping on the stage and you deserve to have the shit beat out of you.
at the very least-
you're making the show about you,not one person paid to see you up there.they spent their time and money to see a performance that is,in most cases,very important to them.nobody wants the show disrupted because you need attention.
and at worst-
this isn't 1965-we live in a very dangerous time.even though they wont admit it,its traumatic for the performers to be attacked onstage,even if the attack is not a dangerous one.it could be just a kid who wants to show off to his friends-it could also be someone who wants to kill a famous person in a very public way to promote a political cause.
its just amazing to me that functioning adults would not understand this..

Are you kidding? Take Morrissey's shows for example, it would be considered strange if no one invaded the stage (or at least tried to) throughout the entire show.

no i'm not kidding and when some mentally disturbed person drives a blade into "morrisey" ala the monica seles case or he gets the dimebag darrel incident replayed on his too-dumb-to-have- proper-security ass you and all his other fans wil be crying 'how could this happen,we thought only cool people liked morrisey"
