Big & Rich's Rich Rocked by Metal Man

This is not what we'd call a successful fusion of country and metal.
John McCain-exalting Nashville hit maker John Rich, of the chart-topping Big & Rich, and Jerry Montano, a former bassist of the Satan-saluting Danzig, both managed to avoid arrest after getting into a fistfight early Friday.
"There was an altercation and nobody desired to press charges, so no one was arrested," Los Angeles Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore tells E! News
Whitmore says deputies were called to the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood at 4:20 a.m., after a scuffle broke out in Rich's room.
The two men wound up with minor injuries between them, including a bloodied nose (Whitmore wasn't sure which musician came out worst), and paramedics were called, but neither man was taken to the hospital.
The incident will, however, be turned over to detectives and reviewed, as a routine procedure, says Whitmore.
Reps for Big & Rich have not returned calls for comment. John Rich, 34, recently penned the GOP tribute "Raising McCain," one of the few authorized tunes the McCain-Palin ticket has been playing at campaign stops.
