I assumed a bank robbery but didn’t see anything on the news. KGMB was there filming so something must have happened. Only thing I could find was this report about a bigger story involving ASB.

What happens when a drunk American Idol goes to a Metal Skool concert? She rocks out on stage with the band singing the GNR classic, Sweet Child O’ Mine.

Just an FYI, some swearing and antics in the video, but probably stuff Wayne’s World saw at the Black Eyed Peas concert.
