AIRBOURNE Frontman's Death-Defying Guitar Solo

June 16, 2010

According to Roadrunner Records, Australian hard rockers AIRBOURNE have a reputation for putting on a killer live show. Their passion for rock and roll shines through as they barrel through their songs with energy and enthusiasm, chugging beers (even smashing the cans on their heads on occasion) and jumping from the stage to play in the crowd.

At festivals, AIRBOURNE frontman Joel O'Keeffe has also been known to climb the rigging, and at this year's Download festival — which was held June 11-13, 2010 at Donington Park, United Kingdom — he went a little further than normal, causing the stage manager to race across stage and pull the power on the band until Joel returned to the ground.

Check out the fan footage of the entire escapade in the YouTube clips below.
