Two Gallants. October 2006 @ Walter's on Washington, Houston - After a local made a noise complaint, police arrived on the scene to 'sort' things out. Somehow Two Gallants frontman Adam Stephens together the band's manager and two audience members were tazered by police. Police alleged that Stephens had pushed an attending officer and used a “sexual obscenity” - the singer strenuously denied this.

1. Stop calling him "Wacko Jacko" for God's sake. You are not being clever or funny. The man has a name -- learn to use it. 2. His hair didn't catch on fire because of "hair spray." For one, any person's hair would have caught fire if they had a bunch of pyrotechnics explode right above them, against safety regulations, etc. Secondly, MJ had jherri curl, which is chemically relaxed hair (otherwise he would've had that big afro). Not hair spray.
