On September 7, 2000 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, Tim Commerford from Rage Against The Machine took offense to Rage losing Best Rock Video for “Sleep Now In The Fire” to Limp Bizkit’s “Break Stuff” at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMA’s). In protest, Commerford climbed a stage prop and began shaking it, pretty much ruining Limp Bizkit’s acceptance speech.

After authorities managed to coax Commerford down and he was thrown in jail for the night. Fans all over the world should look back and thank him now. Here is the photo of his arrest.
