During the final show of Five Finger Death Punch's most recent U.S. trek, the band played some light-hearted tour pranks on All That Remains frontman Phil Labonte, who filled in for Ivan Moody after he exited the tour due to falling ill.
When Labonte took the stage during the December 10 show in Duluth, G.A., a dildo was in place of where his mic should have been. Footage can be seen below.
In addition to the dildo prank, the band also had their fun by taking advantage of the fact that Labonte was still learning the songs' lyrics through the aid of a teleprompter since his last-minute stint in the band did not afford him proper rehearsal time. During "The Bleeding," the band changed the lyric "I remember when all the games began" to "I remember when all the dicks began."
The pranks were all in good fun and according to a post on Labonte's official Instagram, he had a sense of humor about it.
"When I ran out on stage instead of a mic there was a dick," read the post, which can be seen below. "Fitting way to end a really fun 8 shows. Thanks to @zoltanbathory @jasonhook_5fdp @5fdpchriskael and Jeremy. So much fun to help these boys out."

Today, December 8, Slipknot/Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor turns 43! With multiple RIAA certified albums, one Grammy Award and a New York Times Best Seller under his belt, it's no surprise that Corey Taylor is one of the most influential people in metal.
In honor of the metal mogul's birthday, we've shared this classic video of Slipknot's first ever performance at Ozzfest in 1999. Their trek out on the festival is ultimately what broke Slipknot's career as it put them on the radar before their debut album had even hit the shelves. It's not just a moment of nostalgia, but the very first chapter in Corey Taylor's extremely storied career.
Happy birthday, Corey Taylor! Leave your favorite Slipknot/Stone Sour memories in the comments!
