Posted by Chris Harris on May 16, 2013 in New Records, News, Video

Emmure Frontman Knew Shock Was Possibility, Wanted To Play Anyways

Posted by Chris Harris on May 9, 2013 in News, Video

The other day, when high voltage was sent surging through Emmure frontman Frankie Palmeri’s body as he grabbed a mike as he went to scream during a show in Russia, he actually knew beforehand he was at risk for an electric shock, but took the stage anyways.

It was Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine” but, it was a version I have never heard, featuring a little girl singing. I was shocked that GN’R would allow Read More
