Mad Mayhem: Wednesday 13's Fake Mic - Murderdolls frontman Wednesday 13 was out on this summer's Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival promoting the band's brand new record (and first in 8 years) Women and Children Last (out now). Since he wasn't performing, Wednesday did what any rockstar left to his own devices might do: fuck with people! And lucky for you ghoulscouts out there, we had our cameras ready for some Mad Mayhem.
Watch below as Wednesday constructs a fake microphone from a beer bottle, black gaffer tape, and a fog machine cord, and then watch as he stalks the outdoor arena grounds "interviewing" fans and an unsuspecting Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative).
Women and Children Last is out now and available in a standard edition, special edition with a bonus DVD, and in the super limited edition 'Last Aid Kit' collector's box. You can also snag a copy digitally via iTunes.
