The Chicago Bulls legacy is forever tarnished thanks to a metal band named "Disturbed" who performed at the United Center on March 8th.
The United Center is home to the Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago Bulls. National acts who perform there are guests first and foremost.
However, the band Disturbed decided to forego all testing with their pyrotechnics before the concert.
David Draiman is the frontman for the band and is known for his callous personality at times, and is eccentric, much like his band's music.
Well, his eccentricity has damaged the legacy of the Bulls era from the 90's.
Damaging the banners that hung in the United Center from their legendary run with Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and other Bulls players who we haven't mentioned.
The Banners span from 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997 and 1998.
While it's doubtful that Draiman and his metal band will be forced to suit up for the Bulls and win them a game for their carelessness, the band should have some kind of insurance to help repair the frayed ends of said banners.
"United Center is currently working with the Bulls to explore options to repair these banners," United Center communications said in a statement. "While the banners will not be in place for the remainder of this season, we do anticipate them being back in place next season."
A comment on the YouTube video went deeper into the situation.

Local 2 stagehands worked the setup and once the show was over they found out that 6 Bulls banners in the rafters got ruined by the pyro.

The concert itself was run by the promoters LiveNation, which was founded by Robert Sillerman and SFX Entertainment.
According to the YouTube comments, LiveNation may be on the hook as promoters of the event to help the United Center make the Bulls whole again.
Disturbed was a guest in the Bull's home and instead of being respectful set fire to Michael Jordan's and the Bull's legacy.
We don't get down with the sickness here.
