Short story:
When The Cockney Rejects play at The Cedar Club, Birmingham, England, UK, Europe, a riot takes place after the band dedicates its song, Shithead, to all Brummies. As a result, Rejects guitarist Micky Geggus is charged with GBH and affray, and the Cockney Rejects' career as a live band is, in effect, over.

Jeff 'Stinky' Turner (vocalist, Cockney Rejects) : I'd seen quite a bit on the terraces or outside football grounds, but this was carnage. There was a lot of people cut and hurt, I got cut, my brother [Rejects' guitarist Micky Geggus] really got done bad, with an ashtray, the gear was decimated, there was people lying around on the floor. Carnage.
