Ok, "Butcher" one of the members of the message board was the guy who 
climbed over the barrier onto the stage. He was heavily intoxicated, 
and there is some speculation that something was dropped in his drink. 
He was fine one moment, and the next was horribly messed up.

He was right next to me, and when he decided to climb up, as he rolled 
over the barrier, he clipped the side of my head with his foot. He 
landed into Ravens mike stand and on top of the chords on the stage. He 
looked at Paul and motioned that he was going to dive. Then, after 
laying there for a moment, he stands up and sort of staggers about, and 
Raven shoved him back towards the side of the stage before he fell into 
Ben's drums. When Paul pushed him, he sort of fell next to me, to my 
right, and security took him off.

There was no brutality, no hitting with the guitar nothing like that, 
and the guy is fine, but a bit embarrassed about the whole thing and 
sends his apologies. Where anyone gets that he was hit with bass, 
brutalized or anything like that is beyond me. Maybe from a different 
angle it may have appeared that way, but he was NOT hit with the bass, 
he was pushed. I was sitting about 3 feet away from the whole damn 
thing.

As for what Coleman said to Peter, he simply said he did not see it, so 
to him, nothing happened...go talk to Raven about it.
