American Head Charge Guitarist Arrested in New Jersey and Charged with Public Lewdness After Performing Entire Show Naked
November 2, 2001 Guitarist Dave Rogers from American Head Charge was arrested last night by New Jersey policemen for public lewdness after their show at the Continental Airlines Arena.
After the band's set (their last one on the "Pledge of Allegiance" tour) five state police officers arrested Rogers backstage because he played the entire show naked. The situation was resolved at the venue. He'll have to report to a New Jersey court at a later date.
In his defense, Rogers said: "What's the big fucking deal?
I run around naked all the time. I guess the cops were threatened by my manhood."
This was actually the second time Rogers performed in the buff (the first
time was at Ozzfest earlier this summer), but he escaped prosecution the first
time.
American Head Charge are currently touring in support of their #1 Billboard
"Heatseekers" debut album, The Was of Art (American/Island Def Jam). Now
that their stint on the "Pledge of Allegiance" tour is over, they'll be
heading out with Slayer for six weeks starting November 2.
