Michael Poulsen from Volbeat collapses on stage!

[RecklessSkateTeam]

@Metmusie it happens all the time. My grandpa races stock cars and when someonecrashes and they get out safe everybody claps because they know that persons gonna be ok.

[SOCO1371]

poulsen, your the man. keep rockin bro

[EffBawmb]

That's one tough bastard. (Holy shit, this happened on my 21st birthday.)

[MoaDahlby96]

see me falling, yeah down and lonely!

[mniemma]

I'm new of listening to Volbeat...... What happend with him?!

[Rickwon]

@mniemma

This is what Michael said: "I got really sick when the European tour started, shitting/puking all over the place, muscle ache and high fever, and couldnt really eat any thing without feeling bad."

As a tough bastard he is, he still wanted to do the show but after 6 songs he fell down and was taken to the hospital for a checkup.

Don't worry though, he's doing fine now ;)

[jaishammer1]

hahahaha MEDIAWHORE....

Volbeat sucks.

[premiercarmen]

@jaishammer1 Then don't watch their videos idiot

[fortheloveoftunes]

If he would change his vocals this would not have happened .-)

[WMDairsoft]

u guys obviously have never seen poison play live lol if a musician is that ill but willing to play for the crowd fair play to that man he deserves enough repspect, plus the fact there music is brilliant im going to see them on the 8th dec 2010.

[froggdoddles]

haha idiot, he just collapsed, hes  not dead, btw Volbeat Owns!

[Samy110]

what are the people clapping for? That they help him?

Anyway, I would have been really scared. He looks like he's dead (by the way, I don't know how ICanCountToTen1 thinks he really is... He just played a kick ass show in Berlin, hands down. :)) Thank God he's okay.

[Rickwon]

Volbeat used this video for their new album's bonus DVD (Beyond Hell/Above Heaven). Guess they didn't really mind it got filmed...

[ICanCountToTen1]

RIP Michael Poulsen

[BlackTidePride]

@ICanCountToTen1 he ain't ded. i met him!

[ICanCountToTen1]

@BlackTidePride You met a zombie?

[BlackTidePride]

@ICanCountToTen1 No. I met him in August '10.

[Sandin82]

@ICanCountToTen1

Ignore the trolls..

[Gingagirl]

Not to be insensitive but, I would take my chance right there..... :) *sigh* <3 ^^



[TheDarkness1020]

I might be american. But most of my heritage is Danish. And these guys help me become proud of that. :)

[QueenNothing91]

I didn't know that he has collapsed. I knew he's got the flu because I saw them 4 days earlier in Germany and he told us that hes sick but didn't want to cancel the show because they didn't want to disappoint their fans. But honestly Michael never to that again.Just as much as you want us to have fun on your concert (and I've been to a few volbeat shows and every single one kicked ass!)we want you to be healthy. You definitely won't disapponit us your musics just too good =)

See you in Hamburg!

[Erbse002]

it`s sick to make a video in such moments!

[Metmusie]

Why are the morons clapping at MP collapsing? :( They should be like... ":'(" Not like.. ":D"... -.-

[kasslerify]

@Metmusie they didn't clap asap after he collapsed. i think they clapped at the stage people rushing to help, and maybe some of them because MP was `` performing til the end´´

[KristianCramer]

@Metmusie They are all like: "We still think you are awesome!"

[wacken333]

der arme tut mir total leid und ernsthaft so ne scheisse is bei yt drinne

zum Glück is a wieder fit

[Sminnnn]

Die ham die Cam vermutlich immer weiter drauf gehalten um es bei Youtube einstellen zu können....Damit auch du es dir hier ansehen kannst, wie du ja auch tust......Immer diese Möchtegern-Moralapostel

[maarcel12]

1:24

das ist fan treue! (:

Michael we love you :D

[xXHelena87Xx]

find ich auch nicht in ordnung,dass das jetzt unbedingt gefilmt werden musste!

hatte mich aber auch voll erschrocken,als mir ein bekannter erzählte,das michael umgekippt ist.

[henkers88]

das ist rock 'n' roll^^ zum glück gehts michael wieder gut...

[MrIcebloc]

Und immer schön die cam weiter draufhalten wollt ihr gefilmt werden wenn ihr kollabiert??? krankes pack

[BlackTidePride]

Aww. Poor baby. ;( I'm SO releaved he's alright. And A Warrior's Call is my new favorite VB song, I'd be so sad to not hear the full song.

[BrutalChild]

Aww I'm glad he's ok. I saw them last night and I really want to see them again soon. It's retarded how people started clapping when he collapsed! Hahah! xD

[jollestudio1]

Damn, stupid people who says he died, fucking scared me shitless, im glas he's alright!!!!

[Rickwon]

There will be a replacement show on February 24th 2010, that's great to hear :)

[Barakonyi]

poor Michael XD it is such a shame to cancel a Volbeat concert XD

[camataGE]

Das ist Liebe für die Fans! Love MP für diese Hingabe. Aber das nächste mal gehört er ins Bett. VOLBEAT IS GREAT. Gute Besserung

[SMASHLIVE]

Can someone in germany speak english?????

[BrutalChild]

It's called google translate

[SMASHLIVE]

I know what google translate is. But gees. It's not that hard.

[BrutalChild]

Are you saying it's not that hard to learn how to speak English? Are you fucking serious?

[SMASHLIVE]

yes I do and yes I am

[BrutalChild]

@SMASHLIVE

So you think it's easier for a whole nation to learn how to speak your language than YOUR lazy ass looking it up on google translate. You're an idiot. They don't have to learn English because that's not their native language. You're just being a dick.

[SMASHLIVE]

So you think english is my native language? I've learnd it in school like almost every kid in the world does.

It's just annoying to see all the comments in english and then, some german boy/girl, writes in german. Haha. Then a dick i am! Rather that, than a girl ;)

I rest my case

[BrutalChild]

English isn't my first language either, but expecting everyone to be like you is ignorant

[ohthatsdamned]

@BrutalChild I have not really had that much english in school, and still i speak it pretty well. However, the reason many germans may not be good at english, is their TV, they translate almost all language to german, rather than having subtitles. Also, Not learning english is just stupid, since its the main or second language for the majority of the world. At least the western

[BrutalChild]

Well stick to German. My first language is Spanish, it took me 7 months to speak and understand English, not perfectly but I managed. That doesn't make me think everyone should speak it however. Adults find it more difficult to learn a new language. Don't be ignorant.

[elmatula]

The great thing on this video is the audience attitude, very respectful. Made me thing there's still hope for humanity.

[Nowyy13]

is that sarcastic?

[elmatula]

Nope, I really felt they were respectful.

[Nowyy13]

yeah but they where like WHOOO *clap clap*

and he whas sick and collapse

or what do they mean

[calebengler]

Hey cameraman, next time, less consoling, more collapsing.

[cantanhede13b]

respect from Portugal:

[hyargh]

the black-haired skinny guy looks like jk from gorefest

[666therion69]

well he is

[Domaruis]

No dis respect, im a volbeat fan, but did Micheal perhaps tasted some of Hollands great weed?:P Ive seen m8's popping on the floor that never smoked that kinda stuff... so. Could b the only reason i can think of at this moment:P Correct me if i am wrong, stay metal.

[mudd619]

Dont think. Michael is so dedicated to delivering the stuff to the fans, that he didnt taste any dutch weed. Met Michael in NYC in nov, he is really running a hard schedule.

[lucara]

OMG. I saw Volbeat two days before that in Germany. The show was good,but a little short. Now I know why. Anyway I and anyone else didn't noticed that he was sick. Well at leat he's feeling better now. check out their webside. =)

[laurenspoelert]

don't do drugs man... drugs are bad..

[Trainwreck555]

what kind of camera was used to film this?

[Rickwon]

This was filmed with a Panasonic DMC-TZ5 (compactcamera). I was way in the back so I used a 10x zoom.

Luckily the floor of the venue has stairs in the back so everyone is able to see something.

[Schreud4]

For the ones who want to see what actually happend in the show, I filmed the incident because I was recording the new song ' A warriors call'.

Check on my page, or the videoresponse if the owner of this one allows it.

[Iamphenomenalaj]

I checked your video. That's such a shame what happened...it's sad to see him fall like that.

At least though he's better and we know what was wrong.

[Schreud4]

I also was @ the volbeat show in tilburg. Was weird and scary at the same tim, because we didn't know what actually was going on with Michael.

Im happy to read on the site that Michael is ok.! Rock on dude!

[SunblindingSnow]

But Michael "Janis Joplin" Poulsen, end what you started for all yr great fans in Tilburg when you got yr energy level up again. Truly showed some spirit, that sick--but not counting the one asshole in the room: yrself. Next time, call in sick--okay? Good boy.

[SunblindingSnow]

Geen disrespect, maar filmpje was toch pas echt compleet geweest als ze hem het publiek in hadden gejonast :p That'd be f*cking rock & roll, horns up--now wouldn't it? Imaginable one can get that sick of playing his own songs over and over again, especially when it's the same song over and over again... Whoops, did I just say that?

[VitMike]

it was a volbeat gig?or they were opening for metallica?

[royke666]

It was a volbeat gig in Tilburg the Netherlands on november 29th

[willluvsthe411]

WILLLUVSTHE411 HERE ON YOUTUBE! ! !

[rglf]

I was there when it happend. He told us that he wasn't feeling to well and when he fell everyone was like omg wtf. And the cheering was showing our respect towards him that he tried to give a concert. And what he managed to sing was briliant. Hope to see them soon back in Tilburg

[Iamphenomenalaj]

Was it a rough fall or did he just sort of stumble?

[rglf]

more of a stumble like that he lowered himself down to prevent himself from injury

[Iamphenomenalaj]

I see...that's kinda what I thought. Was it scary? I can imagine i'd probably be so worried I'd cry...

[MartheElizabeth]

When I heard the news, I was pretty shocked

seen them last saturday, and we've been told a lot of the guys were sick.. but still shocking.. GET BETTER SOON MICHAEL!

[WKDPOWER]

Why the hell do the crowd CHEER when he's carried off stage unconscious?!?! For all they knew he could have had a heart attack or something and they're CHEERING!!!

[opiden]

There cheering to support him

[MrDaantjeBanaantje]

They are cheering because he knew he was sick and he still tried to give away a show. They cheer out of respect for him.

[Kagespasser]

God bedring Michael!

[chrissy28volbeat]

Respect voor Michael Poulsen dat ie nog zo lang heeft doorgespeeld en dat ie zich al een tijdje beroerd voelde Het concert in Enschede was in ieder geval super en ben nog met hem op de foto geweest en er was nix aan hem te merken. Super gozer allemaal trouwens.

[Lottebollewol]

We were lucky we saw them last thuesday in Deinze. Thomas said Michael wasn't feeling well. We knew it. So you see how far someone can go for his fans.

[kcityrocker]

Manden passede sit arbejde så længe som overhovedet muligt. Respekt for det.

[JimmiJaedeke]

i have so much respect for this guy,

performing while he is sick,

that just show how much he lives for the music.

he has written on the homepage that hes okay,

but still, i felt really worried when i heard the news.

volbeat makes me proud, i'm so proud of being danish.

sorry for my english, i know there is many misspellings, but i hope that you understand what i'm writing

to all of you, keep the metal alive!

volbeat 4-ever!

[keithb414]

@JimmiJaedeke your english is great man, i saw volbeat for the very first time here in Belfast, they blew me away, i'm an avid fan now! brilliant!

[chrismadro1]

@JimmiJaedeke Respect for Volbeat !!!!!

[arjenweima]

At least he has the guts to go on stage while sick and to perform. I hope all the suckers who wish him dead or have funny comments go jump from the nearest bridge. Go Volbeat!

[freddifreddi]

I agree!

[lauravuyk]

Filmpje van zijn val was leuker geweest.

[Jooneboon]

The concert was amazing, but way to short!!

You were great, I hope you are fine

[xlotman]

HE WILL BE BACK !!!

[Iamphenomenalaj]

Oh my god...I hope he'll be okay. I'm so worried atm...

[123ikuhh]

Gast hij is zo dood als de neten

[boteci2001]

@123ikuhh Hey joh, lees dan ff het officiele bericht op de site van Volbeat.

[liesjuh]

omg, jij gelooft ook gelijk alles..

[Suzy89]

poor thing :(

ik was er ook bij.. bah ik schrok me kapot toen hij opeens op de grond viel :( gelukkig lees ik net op hun site dat alles goed met hem is!

[RadioMotherfucker]

god bedring champ

[danniman1]

Fuck off you cunt, he's not dead motherfucker!

[FatalFantasy]

Als je meer wil weten kun je even het berichtje van Michael lezen op de officiele Volbeat website, daarin staat precies hoe en wat. :)

[DeadlyKaunis]

Alles goed met micheal, verder nix spectaculairs of iets. Kheb um vant podium gedragen

[Mtthz]

He´s not dead you dick.

Get well soon Michael

[118CarGo]

Deadblo> Plz burn i hell and say hallo to Hitler from me..

Håber sgu også at han blir klar hurtigt igen.. Det er sgu synd:(

[Chrasander]

Mon ikke han nok skal komme på benene igen??? Vi er jo nogle, som spændt venter på et nyt album ;o)

[Deadblow]

Please go to school and say hello to your English teacher from me

[rammy1980]

Hes not dead your freakin moroon .

[ypmits]

Waar (waarschijnlijk) een klein virusje toe in staat is... da's toch eeen behoorlijkie vent zeg.

[Superstruuk]

Ik was er ook bij gister.

Ik heb begrepen dat ie inmiddels ontslagen is uit het ziekenhuis. Gelukkig

[kalk23]

Skidt. Håber han kommer sig!

[Mickytjuh]

'HEY, ALLEMAAL BEKENDEN OP 'T PODIUM"

[pruubje]

No official statement yet..I hope he's allright!

[Riwe89]

I was there too... Too bad he went out. He already mentioned that he was a bit ill at the beginning of the concert. At the 8th song, "A Warrior's Call", he collapsed in no time.

10 sec. earlier it was a great concert, nothing wrong, everything fine, 10 sec. later he was lying on the stage...

Hope he get well soon....
