Butcher Dio, Get A Beat-Down.

Every go to a karaoke bar and some dumb-ass gets up there, trying to be funny and butchers a hard rock or metal tune just so all his prep buddies can get a good laugh at him, screaming like a maniac and changing the lyrics to the typical crap that people think heavy metal is all about? I have seen it a few times. I’ve also seen people get up there in all seriousness and sing karaoke to song that you really liked…up until they maimed it and you can never listen to that song again. So what do you do besides scream “You suck!” and throw back a few more beers? You beat his ass.

That’s what they do in Wisconsin anyway. According to The Smoking Gun, Kyle Drinkwine did just that.

Drinkwine throttled singer James Mischler, 28, and his friend Cyrus Kozub, 29, “over one’s ability to sing karaoke.” Though cops did not specify which song set Drinkwine off last week, Kozub told TSG that Mischler was performing “Holy Diver,”

First I would like to say…’Throttled’? People still use that term? Anyway the dude was pretty drunk, blowin’ a .169. The Smoking gun also says that this is not the first Karaoke assault and other people have been battered for either singing or screwing up Coldplay’s Yellow. I think that deserves at least a good kick in the ass for requesting that song. On another note, it was election night, and what better place to be on election night than at your favorite karaoke bar, getting drunk.

Bottom line….don’t f*ck up  a good Dio tune…and watch out for anyone with the last name of Drinkwine.
