Work-related injuries

When you're a musician, work-related injuries are a bit different. You'll chip a tooth on a microphone. (Or if you're our  drummer -- a can of Monster Tour Water.) Get rock neck from rocking too hard. And as Joe, the keyboardist from Born of Osiris, explains about his broken wrist:

"Stage-diving."

"Nice," says Andrew.

"Yeah, it was a couple shows ago. You know -- just another work-related injury."

"Can I sign your cast?" asks Dan.

"Sure."

So while some look at life on the road as a vacation, never forget the crowd suffers. The Death Metal head thrashers. And those who become so absorbed in the performance that they literally lose their shit on stage. Because that's rock and roll.
