Musicians killed in Mexico after refusing to play more songs for audience ? WTF?

Leaving the audience wanting more is the goal of every musician, unless you're a musician in violence-torn Mexico.

Two members of local group La Excelencia were murdered in a Guadalajara bar early Monday morning after refusing to play more songs past closing time, El Occidental of Mexico reported.

Jonathan Martinez, 22, and Gustavo Alejandro, 35, were pronounced dead outside the Vida Divina nightclub, gunned down by unidentified assailants with suspected ties to the country's notorious drug gangs.

A third victim, identified as bar patron Leslie Soltero, 26, was taken to a local hospital with a gunshot wound to her ankle.

When La Excelencia's performance came to an end around 4 a.m. local time, four reportedly intoxicated and aggressive audience members demanded the musicians continue playing. Sensing trouble, the group extended its set by two songs, but was eventually forced to pull the plug by the bar's owner, according to El Occidental.

Out of nowhere, one of the instigators threw a grenade at the stage. The explosion injured one person and had panicked customers running for the exits.

Martinez and Alejandro were among those who fled the bar, but they were met at the front door by a hail of bullets, presumably from the same four men who had harassed them earlier.

By the time police arrived at the scene, the killers had already escaped by car. No witnesses were able to identify the getaway vehicle.

Killers were probably the responding police.

threw a grenade on the stage?!?!?

Quite right...

Not usually. But they are usually the friends or relatives or Business associates.

got to ask your self who owns a bar in Mexico that does not search people as they come in the door.

Mexico is quite safe for people to visit, especially Americans.

A grenade?? Expect people to get shot, but that's a bit extreme.

who brings a grenade to a bar?

probably just as likely to kill you as much as anyone you throw it at in a small place like that!

Hmm I was gonna go there, but now? No way.

when i was in a band people threatened us to throw grenades if we didn't stop playing :-/

I love Mexico (seriously) :thumbsup

is there any law and order left in that country, or is it just do whatever you want and that's it?

Well, you better do what the audience wants. Hear that, Mallick?

That's what happens when you mix accordions with sombreros.

A fucking grenade? LOL. :1orglaugh..

Mexico is fucking awesome, from a very very far distance, hahaha....

In Mexico they don't forgive and forget. :2 cents:

It's pretty sad, I don't see any reasons for a laughing...

:1orglaugh

umm, tough crowd

Would you wanna be the door guy telling them they have to leave?

haahahaha

Excuse me sir, you can't bring that grenade in here... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

They just fucked with the wrong Mexican... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

This was the deciding factor..... how about 22,000+ "drug" related deaths in the last three years.

Honestly it took me season two of Breaking Bad to understand that Mexico wasn't for me lol

Hey, I don't judge you, so don't judge me! :mad:

i usually two...if the concert is in stereo

what is going on down there.

One helluva a party... :error

you hear about the bc dude that got shot pushing his wife out of the way? heard something else too.. also Guatemala is reporting they aren't so much 'dealing' with the problem as getting cornered and the end is near

I think there is a deeper mystery to the reason for the throwing of the grenade into the musicians.

Who DOESN'T bring grenades to a bar?!

I bring them wherever I go - shopping, church, visiting friends and family, everywhere!

Only a crazy person leaves home without explosives! :thumbsup

Damn,those dudes don't fuck around over there

That is crazy! Glad my band never gigged in Mexico back in the day!

Why El Guapo?
