New Band on Fire!

An impromptu Fourth of July concert held in an old junkyard within the borders of the Puyalup Barrens ended in fireworks yesterday... and not the legal kind. Sources say the resulting blast could be felt as an earthquake in nearby districts. Though Lonestar declined to investigate into the Z-zoned barrens, several Docwagon teams responded to the injured in the aftermath. One possibly chipped out survivor claimed "That was the best concert ever!"

Most escaped with only minor burns and concussions and are apparently eagerly awaiting the next concert. Witnesses claim that the troll-thrash-metal band, "Megataur" was to blame, but were nowhere to be found for comment.

Has anyone ever heard of Megataur? They sound pretty hardcore... gotta check em out next time... possibly from a distance.

I find that violence is best enjoyed from a considerable distance.
... That said, this sort of thing never happens at the opera.

It had to have been the drummer exploding due to spontainious cumbustion. Seriously.

It's happened before with purely human bands. The excitement of the concert and the friction of the performance raises the body temperature to the point where the nitrogen of the air and the celulose from body fat combine into nitrocelulose. Then all that's needed is a concusion say by a large drum hit to set it off.

It happens to drummers more since they're more sedentary than the bass or keyboard players and have more body fat to convert. Wait. Do troll thrash metal bands even have keyboard or bass? I'm sure they have drums.

Anyway. With the extra body mass from a troll versus a human the explosion would be spectacular. I'm surprised more people didn't die.
