Tom Morello Throws Fan’s Phone After On-Stage Selfie Attempt
Tom Morello was not having it when a fan tried to get a selfie on stage at a recent show in Illinois.
Morello invited a large group of people on stage with him during his performance, but according to reports, he asked the crowd not to put a cell phone near his face or else he’ll “smack it.” If Morello is one thing, it’s a man of his word, so when a fan disobeyed his request, he threw the fan’s phone into the crowd.

Honestly, this is more hilarious than anything, but some fans were not happy with Morello’s actions, so they tried to go after him on Twitter. Two words: Big mistake!
When you invite guests to YOUR stage and CLEARLY TELL THEM “if you stick a cell phone in my face I WILL THROW IT” and then their uncontrollable entitled selfie urges overcome their sense of reason they get their f*ckin phones thrown. Simple. #KMA https://t.co/NTN2lVep8t

For the record: Morello did clarify what his selfie policy was off stage.
