January 16, 2008

Chris Echegaray of the Tampa Tribune reports that an Illinois man who claims to have been beaten up by a MÖTLEY CRÜE band member and security during a concert is suing the promoter Live Nation.

Gerald Schneeman, of Rockford, Ill., was at an AEROSMITH and MÖTLEY CRÜE concert at the Ford Amphitheater on Nov. 22, 2006, according to the lawsuit filed on Monday.

The lawsuit states Schneeman was standing in front of the stage when he was stuck in the head with a guitar by a member of MÖTLEY CRÜE who was not named in the suit.

The band member jumped from the stage and knocked Schneeman to the ground, according to the suit. Security came over and assaulted Schneeman, then dragged him from the venue, according to the suit.

He suffered bodily injury, scarring and disfigurement, according to the suit. Details of his injuries were not listed.
