Jerry Montano, the former bassist of Nothingface, Hellyeah, and Danzig is to sue country singer John Rich after the two had an altercation at a hotel recently. Montano claims that Rich became violent and belligerent over a girl, which led to the incident between the two. Montano claims he is suing for an undisclosed amount relating to cuts, permanent scarring, scrapes, swelling and bruising to his lips, jaw, face, teeth and nose. The bassist had apparently previously been warned of Rich's behaviour when drunk.

I agree that John Rich is a jerk for hitting Jerry in the face with a beer bottle. I just wished that the fight could have been over something a little more interesting than a female; ah well, John was drunk.

Yeah you take what you deserve and move on. If he got flogged then he should just deal with it. Not sue.
"Metal guy gets arse kicked by a Redneck", that should be the headline!

Yes BrianSD, he is. He was kicked out of Hellyeah for being belligerant while drunk and threatening to shoot someone like Dime. He's a total d***head and what goes around comes around. It's total B.S that he's suing! Get over it, you got your a$$ kicked and you deserve it.

I actually saw the pictures of his a$$ beating. Rich hit him in the face with a bottle and split him open pretty good. Motano is an a$$ who simply can't hold his liquor. This is not his first a$$ kicking and i'm sure it wont be his last. What a loser.

If this Montano guy had any credibility remaining, it just left the building.
Whoever this Rich guy is, he sounds pretty cool.

Bruno: I think it was actually over a chick, which is funny because Mantano is a closet gay. He probably got jealous when Rich didn't return his advances. :-) I'm pretty sure that Rich is he smallest guy in his line up. I know who he is because I went to NASCAR last weekend. lol.

The fight probably started when Montano said, "No girls allowed!"
I have to admit I was almost expecting you to change your avatar to a picture of Jeff Gordon or Charleton Heston. Glad to see they did not get to you bro, LOL!

If I had been offered the package that they gave you I would probably would have accepted it as well.

Nascar was cool way back when the racers would have a beer with the fans after the race, but like so many other things in America the sport was taken over by the corporate image.
