Dude, how many idiots like you are there? I know, dingus. They fucking fuck hard. You think I'm competing with them? We fucking co-headlined 12 years ago. Why does God keep giving you another day? Seriously. You're not even a real person. 😂 https://t.co/mNvzlo6BeN— Frankiᛊ Palmᛊri (@FrankiePalmeri) September 17, 2026

But the surprises do not end there. Glenn Danzig’s notoriously tough reputation at live shows seems as intact as ever, according to Frankie Palmeri. Both artists performed during the opening day of the Louder Than Life festival. Following the event, Palmeri took to social media to voice his frustration over an incident that occurred side-stage during Pantera‘s set, claiming Danzig’s security team had him removed—allegedly at the direct request of Danzig‘s personal bodyguards.

For a split second tonight…I was able to watch the mighty @Pantera perform at @LTLFest from side stage…some years ago…I even got asked to cover Pantera songs live as tribute to Dimebag and Vinny Paul…I have a lot of love for Pantera…and Phil… I made the mistake of attempting to strike a conversation with Glen Danzig…while side stage…which lead to his security demanding I be removed from the stage and stripped of my access pass. For what? Being a human being and asking about a mutual friend? FUCK Glen Danzing, FUCK his security, FUCK that dumb cunt stage manager who acted like I wasn’t worthy of being there to watch them perform

The American metalcore group Emmure was founded in 2003. The group, which was previously located in New Fairfield, Connecticut, before relocating to Queens, New York, has put out eight albums. T”he Complete Guide to Needlework”, an EP released in 2006, was their first album to be made public. Beginning with “Goodbye to the Gallows” (2007), Victory Records has collaborated with the band for the majority of their history. Victory also issued their second, third, and fourth albums, “Speaker of the Dead” (2011), “Felony” (2009), and “The Respect Issue” (2008). The band re-signed with Victory to release their fifth and sixth studio albums, “Slave to the Game” (2012) and “Eternal Enemies” (2014), after their original four-album deal with Victory ended.

In 2016, however, Emmure would leave Victory to sign with SharpTone after nine years of being signed to the label. “Look at Yourself”, the seventh Emmure album, and “Hindsight”, the eighth, were released on March 3, 2017, and June 26, 2020, respectively. The only original member of the band is Frankie Palmeri, who was born in 1986 and has been controversial over the years. Critics have characterized his “no-fucks-given” attitude as an amusing stance for the band, and his personality has set them apart from other bands in the genre.
