Video: ROBERT PLANT Knocked Over By Fan During Buenos Aires Show - Nov. 5, 2012
A fan jumped on stage last Thursday (November 1) during Robert Plant's concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina, forcing the LED ZEPPELIN singer to crouch backward while security dragged the young man off stage.

According to Spinner.com, Plant and his group THE SENSATIONAL SPACE SHIFTERS had just performed ZEPPELIN's "Going to California" at Estadio Luna Park and were wrapping up "Rock And Roll" when "a man jump[ed] onstage and approach[ed] Plant from his left as the 64-year-old thank[ed] the crowd for coming out. Plant [saw] the fan at the last minute and crouche[d] backward. However, a roadie [came] from the other side of the stage. In trying to tackle the fan, the roadie inadvertently knock[ed] Plant over to the ground. The singer quickly [got] up and [said], 'Easy, easy' in the direction of the roadies, most likely asking them to not rough up the fan. Fortunately, the fan had no weapon nor [did] it appear that Plant was injured."

"Thank you very much for the fun," Plant said before he left the stage.

LAMB OF GOD frontman Randy Blythe recently spent five weeks in a jail in the Czech Republic where he is facing manslaughter charges in connection with the death of a fan more than two years ago.

Blythe, 41, is accused of causing the fatal injury that occurred at LAMB OF GOD's May 24, 2010 show in Prague. The singer allegedly either pushed or struck a 19-year-old fan named Daniel N. — a guitarist in a local metal band — and that person died almost a month later of bleeding in the brain.

A number of rockers have come to Randy's defense, with many of them citing the 2004 shooting death onstage of PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott as the reason why musicians are so defensive nowadays about fans invading the stage.

DISTURBED drummer Mike Wengren told The Pulse Of Radio not along after Dimebag was shot that his death had cast a shadow over live performing. "I think one of the most scariest things is, you go up onstage, and there's this energy transfer between the band and the crowd, and you almost feel invincible. You feel very empowered. Never in a million years would anyone ever think something like that was even possible, and I think it just caught everyone off guard. It's pretty scary."

Speaking to Metalholic.com, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH drummer Jeremy Spencer said, "I think for fans these days, especially after the 'Dimebag' Darrell incident, I just think don't [go up] on stage unless you're invited — I mean, that's the only time. Because everything changed after that day. . . These days, it's almost better to stay off the stage unless you're invited, I think. That's my take on it, anyway."

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH bassist Chris Kael simply tweeted, "Everything changed on December 8, 2004. #stayoffthestage #FreeRandyBlythe," while ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian wrote, "It's complete and utter bullshit for him to be treated like a criminal for something he didn't do. Now fans can see firsthand why there's no stage diving anymore. Especially in the post-Darrell world we live in . . . Of course it's sad that this person died, it's a tragedy, but it's not Randy's fault."

He has a future in the NFL.

So Plant has no problem playing Zeppelin songs with his solo band but playing with Led Zeppelin is out of the question? I don't get it yo :-/

First off... Security made Plant tumble down, not the 'fan'!

Plant saw the overzealous fan coming and got ready, with a sort of wrestling/jiu jitsu stance.

Plant got up so quickly and didn't seem out of breathe. Not bad for a top-heavy old man, just trying to say goodnight!

New respect for the ol' hippy!

Plant went straight to the area the kid was taken to.

Did he punch him senseless or try to say hello? I think Plant's pleasant post-attack demeanor answers that one. Maybe the crazy kid got an autograph and photo!

South America is hardcore and extraordinarily passionate. They love their idols. Speaking of which, being an idol brings this type of reaction. Ask David Cassidy!!

It wasn't Achilles Last Stand. Plant should have shown him No Quarter after that one.

He's lucky he wasnt dazed and confused afterward. Security probably threw him out on the tiles, told him to head over the hills and far away.
How many more time will this battle of evermore take place.

Things have changed since Dimebag and Blythe. I think if someone runs on stage they have made a decision to put themselves into harms way. This guy ran right towards Robert Plant. He's lucky he didn't get seriously injured. This wasn't a stage dive. He ran right at Plant. It looked very much like the video of Dimebag getting shot and that is why it's so scary.

@Jesse Pinkman...I don't think Plant has an issue with Zep songs, just the huge machine that would be a Zep tour.

I saw a high quality version of the video and was able to read the attacker's lips as he approached Plant. It was Jimmy Page saying "REUNION ALREADY! WTF!!!"

Buenos Aires, Buenos noches or Burger 'f-ing' King...it doesn't matter. The people that run on stage deserve to have the shit beat out of them. Rules are rules, and I don't care how much passion a fan has. I've got a ton of passion for all of the artists I go see, but it doesn't mean I'm bum rushing someone on stage or even thinking about it.

I remember going to a Molly Hatchet concert in 1983, this guy jumped on stage and a couple of roadies grabbed him, dragged him off to some empty seats on the side, then proceeded to punch the fucking shit out of him! It was fucking hilarious!

I don't get Plant. He doesn't want to keep going with the Zeppelin name but every show he does on every band he comes up with, he does Zeppelin numbers. What gives???

He does a select few he can vocally handle, or changes them in a very non Zep way.
