Why Five Finger Death Punch's Bathory Didn't Stop Onstage Meltdown

(TeamRock Radio) Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory has admitted he took no action while a spat between Ivan Moody and Jeremy Spencer became an infamous onstage meltdown.

A private argument between the pair became public at a show in Tennessee in May, with drummer Spencer walking off, followed by his bandmates, leaving frontman Moody on his own.

Moody later said that the incident was down to technical issues while Spencer admitted the band weren't proud of the incident. Now Bathory Sirius XM: "Ivan is a party animal - or used to be a party animal. He used to have problems with alcohol because it's just so easy.

"Ivan was pretty much down on that slope at the time. Add a little alcohol, a little bit of technical difficulties and things were going sideways." He continues: "I could have stepped in, but I wanted to see the slow-motion car crash myself. I think it had to happen. He had to wake up, sort of hit the wall. It was something I felt had to happen in order to avoid a bigger catastrophe later." Read more and stream the full interview here.
