>>>>>Gary Cherone - caught up in the moment during the "smashing" encore of 
"My Generation" at the Whittier performance - decided to do a full body dive 
into Mike Portnoy's obliterated custom-made drum set. Unfortunately, the back of 
his head landed (or so it is believed) on one of the lug nuts on the drum 
set. 

CalProg security manager Gruno reports the event as follows: "Gary flipped 
over the drums and his back landed on a mic stand and one of the bass drums. The 
back of his head landed flat against the back of the toms. He was knocked out 
briefly (maybe three seconds max) as I was on stage left and he had this 
bewildered look when he came to. He sat motionless for another few seconds. After 
they exited the stage, I had to get Portnoy's stick bag for him and there was 
blood all over the drums. He was okay with some ice and towels in the dressing 
room."<<<<<

Aaaaah yes,Gary Cherone who once as lead singer for Van Halen,tried to jump
over a railing during a show a few years back only to slip and land square on 
his
family jewels.....hahaha!!!! What NUT! Pun fully intended! ;)
