Frankie Palmeri of Emmure says he was removed from the side of the stage at Louder Than Life in Louisville, and had his access pass taken off him, after trying to start a conversation with Glenn Danzig.

"For a split second tonight I was able to watch the mighty Pantera perform at LTL Fest from side stage," Palmeri wrote. "Some years ago I even got asked to cover Pantera songs live as tribute to Dimebag and Vinny Paul. I have a lot of love for Pantera, and Phil. I made the mistake of attempting to strike a conversation with Glen Danzig while side stage, which lead to his security demanding I be removed from the stage and stripped of my access pass. For what? Being a human being and asking about a mutual friend?" The rest of what he wrote is not printable and is aimed at Danzig, his security and the stage manager.

Nobody on the other side has answered it. It is one man's account of thirty seconds at a festival, and it is on the record because he put it there himself.
