This is no joke, friends. In Wisconsin, a longtime Metal party stronghold, it is at your own peril that you treat Metal with frivolity. Flaunt our laws and prepare for the consequences, as dispensed by the hilariously named Kyle Drinkwine, The Dairy State's defender of Dio. From The Smoking Gun:
Kyle Drinkwine, 24, of Wisconsin, allegedly became so incensed by a lackluster karaoke performance of a heavy metal song that he assaulted the singer and a second man, police charge. According to a River Falls Police Department report, Drinkwine throttled singer James Mischler, 28, and his friend Cyrus Kozub, 29.Kozub told TSG that Mischler was performing "Holy Diver," the title cut on Dio's 1983 debut album. Following the assaults, police apprehended Drinkwine after a short foot chase. A subsequent Breathalyzer test recorded his blood alcohol content at .169, more than twice the state limit. Drinkwine was booked into the Pierce County Jail on battery and disorderly conduct counts.Though Drinkwine declined to speak with cops following his arrest, an officer overheard him, during a jail phone call, tell a friend he "fucked up" and was arrested for fighting.
A short foot chase? Awesome. The heroics of Drinkwine (above) inspire us all; next chance I get I'm gonna clobber that moron who keeps butchering all those Queensryche songs. Y'know. Geoff Tate.

To whom it may concern,
Get your facts straight! I am a friend of james and can honestly say that as horrible as karoke may be, the song in question was not a factor in the assult. The whole situation stemed from james simply not wanting to talk to drinkwine, and he in fact was the one to say "That song sucks and you are a piece of shit for singing it". He then waited outside of our local bar and jumped two of my friends with a couple of his buddies. The story that is told has been fabricated so much that your condeming the one person that actually is a metal fan and giving one up for all those gangsta wanabe motherfuckers who do this for fun. If you are on board with this bullshit good for you, your just as pathetic as he is.
If your friends got their asses kicked you should not have been mouthing off to my boy kyle. Thats what happens two of you got rocked by kyle and as for his friends jumping in that was a bunch of bullshit why would he need help with something that he can do on his own
Agreed!To bad for your boys! Cry me a river my brother can take care of himself always has always will. If you don't know what your talkin about shut your mouth!
Those dudes that got an ass whoopin are a bunch of fags...... and they can't even sing good karaoke.... why to they exist???? Cruel world.....
I went to preschool with kyle in Roberts, WI. He is the shit, and whether the dude butchered Dio or not,I trust Kyle's judgement. He's got more character in his left hand, probably why it hits so hard, than most people accumulate in a lifetime. Stay strong Kyle!
yeah- most people with character go out drinking when they are court ordered not to and start fights with people when they aren't looking. I'm of the mindset that everyone deserves a second chance and a break- but I was there. He picked this fight, instigated it, wouldn't give up on it, and when people said they didn't want to fight him, he hid behind a dumpster and attacked them. all of the comments here are nonsense, and you are clearly just as dumb- if not dumber- then that idiot Drinkwine.
