Headbangers out there beware.

According to Dr. Andrew McIntosh, biomedical and injury expert at the University Of New South Wales, head banging might be the culprit behind neck and head related inijuries.

The doctors are suggesting fans to wear neck braces when head banging in order to protect their necks from injuries.

That would be quite a task doing head bangs while wearing braces. I think we should all stick to raising the roof.

Fallout Boy took over a stage in Washington Square Park on Monday to play a free show for the release of their new album Folie A Deux. They were quickly stopped by the cops for not having a permit to do a public performance.

“We were told if we picked up guitars, we’d be arrested,” Fall Out Boy bassist, and new dad to baby Bronx Mowgli, Pete Wentz.

So what did they do? Instead of leaving the fans high and dry, they decided to perform “unplugged” complete with air guitar and knee drums and led the audience in a sing-along.
