Warning: Don’t you dare take a selfie with Every Time I Die tonight when the Buffalo metal core band plays the Paradise Rock Club. A few days ago in Lawrence, Kansas, one fan found that lesson out the hard way.
A kid named Micah Barnes rushed the stage at the Granada Theatre and attempted to take a selfie with frontman Keith Buckley… in the middle of the fucking show. Guitarist Jordan Buckley came to his brother and bandmate’s defense, offering up a swift kick that knocked the phone out of Barnes’ hand.
Watch the video of the incident below.
The situation is not too dissimilar from when NOFX’s Fat Mike kicked a stage-invading fan at a show in Australia. And like the Fat Mike saga, this story has somewhere of a happy ending.
We’ll get to all that after the evidence, via YouTube.
Jordan Buckley chimed in on his karate kick on Twitter.
Stage selfies = look at me look at me I didn't get enough attention as a kid and can't handle 5 people here getting more attention than me

But at the end of the day, the kid got his selfie after the show, and posted on the Every Time I Die Facebook page that he phone wasn’t damaged in the kick or eventual fall to the floor.
@KerrangMagazine he got his selfie after the show. You know, during normal selfie hours. Good kid. pic.twitter.com/5SgJrrjm3k
