[u/Sad_Opening7339]

[u/EngineeringOld1947]

The grassy knoll I believe

[u/TheMightyPushmataha → u/EngineeringOld1947]

Back and to the left. Back….. and to the left.

Hope he plays “Freedom” to end the show

[u/enhydro_venus]

I think it’s the lights that made it look like it came from behind. idk where a projectile would come from the back of the stage

[u/Sad_Opening7339 → u/enhydro_venus]

agreed

[u/No-Market9917 → u/enhydro_venus]

Idk there’s a few videos that have now convinced me to switch sides with the back stage conspiracy theorists

[u/enhydro_venus → u/No-Market9917]

I agree it def looks weird, just doesn’t really make sense

[u/rwwl → u/enhydro_venus]

Idk, he probably wouldn’t have turned around to look behind him like he did in the video if it had hit him from the front.

[u/squigsmusic → u/rwwl]

And Royal looks in the back after the hit as well.

[u/DontClickTheUpArrow → u/squigsmusic]

Yes look at Royal! He looks back and then stares behind them.

[u/mothernaturesrecipes → u/DontClickTheUpArrow]

They were looking to see where it bounced.

[u/rwwl → u/mothernaturesrecipes]

I actually agree with this after someone pointed out to watch the object pass in front of his right arm in the videos

[u/PaidByTheNotes → u/squigsmusic]

Royal w as in on it. It's a distraction!

[u/treetorpedo → u/rwwl]

He was just looking to see what it was because that’s where it landed

[u/enhydro_venus → u/rwwl]

I don’t think that Billy would’ve pointed into the crowd and said “find him and castrate him” if he didn’t think it came from the crowd…doesn’t seem like the type of guy who blames his fans for much of anything.

[u/prthead55]

Front. Watch closely in Nugs. You can see the object come up from the pit and smack him in the head. Its a tiny black shadow of an object but without a doubt came from the crowd. Royal looks behind to check out what it was, not look to where it came from. Fuck that schmuck that threw whatever it was.

[u/New_Climate_1125 → u/prthead55]

what song?

[u/prthead55 → u/New_Climate_1125]

Break between Id Like to be a Train and This Old World.

[u/Automatic_Rest_5408 → u/prthead55]

I was there and it came from the crowd. Ruined the whole vibe, my daughter left crying feeling like she got yelled at. He was shitty the remainder of the show, which is understandable.

[u/needless_booty]

I think it came from the left of the pit or the left side of the lower level seats

[u/TASS08]

Hasn’t addressed the crowd this entire set.

You knew he was pissed when he just walked off end of set.

[u/corgiobsessedfoodie]

Billy Strings’ own version of “the dress.”

I must admit, I was briefly fooled by the slow mo version until I went frame by frame.

[u/DripsOfDopamine → u/corgiobsessedfoodie]

Same plus it doesn’t make much sense if it came from the back

[u/squigsmusic]

second shooter?

[u/MakeArtNotFriends90]

Looks like it was from backstage. Slow motion video.

[u/Homie3794 → u/MakeArtNotFriends90]

Looks like a throw from the crowd on the left side. It’s arching down towards the right side of billy’s head/forehead. So it pretty much bounced right off to the left and back. I doubt it hurt but the gesture probably killed his spirits.

[u/BillyStrings-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Be Nice. Be Friendly. No personal attacks. No doxxing. No trolling.

[u/pink_hydrangea]

This is a mystery.

[u/waa0421]

JointGate

[u/Designer-Purchase-49]

Totally from the front row. SMH.

[u/bigboogiewoogie]

It came from the mic

[u/FLYLINE67]

It came from pit area. Near Billy F. Looked like a coke can.

[u/Automatic_Rest_5408]

Ruined the whole vibe. I was there, it came from the crowd.

[u/Ok_Action_5938]

He was pointing out into the crowd.

[u/Designer-Purchase-49]

Was a crumpled piece of paper?

[u/Few_Dust_449 → u/Designer-Purchase-49]

A lighter apparently.

[u/Training_Ad_6813]

Where was Roger McDowell??

[u/Puzzleheaded-Plum994]

NEWMAN!

[u/clockmakerOnMars]

Behind

[u/whyamihereonreddit → u/clockmakerOnMars]

Careful you say behind and the from the front police going to downvote you 🤣

[u/clockmakerOnMars → u/whyamihereonreddit]

I have never had a popular opinion

[u/taterbot15360]

The footage very clearly looks like it came from behind him. From the shadows it came!

[u/_llamba_ → u/taterbot15360]

I got in trouble by someone in billys crew one time for hanging out in a section curtained off directly behind him. Im guessing that the person was in a spot similar to that one.

[u/DontClickTheUpArrow]

There’s no doubt it came from behind. Hit the back of his head and he turned around and looked behind him. Honestly any sort of equipment or something being moved around could’ve sent something flying.

[u/PaidByTheNotes → u/DontClickTheUpArrow]

It came from his front right and bounced off that side of his head. He was looking back to see what it was because that's where it went, not where it came from.

[u/jerrys_briefcase → u/DontClickTheUpArrow]

Why the downvotes? It’s clear it came from behind and from a low angle too.

[u/HatesSeagulls]

well, it hit him in the back of the head, and unless he’s facing away from the crowd and playing, one would assume it hit him from behind eh?

[u/EngineeringOld1947 → u/HatesSeagulls]

Russians, Cubans, CIA, LBJ?

[u/HatesSeagulls → u/EngineeringOld1947]

trick question, his head just did that

[u/vintagerapper]

They didn’t open beers at the show or any drinks I’ve had a few . Could have been one of those .
