“A Chicago man says he has exclusive video of the much-hyped Hell on Earth performance Saturday night, including ‘crazy’ footage that purports to show a sickly-looking man commiting suicide through ’some sort of asphyxiation.’ But Shane Bugbee isn’t necessarily buying that it’s real.

Hell on Earth front man Billy Tourtelot vowed earlier in the week to defy a hastily passed city ordinance by broadcasting over the Internet the live suicide of a terminally ill fan in conjunction with his band’s performance Saturday night.

But the Web host shut down the site before show time.

‘The site was getting entirely too many hits and couldn’t keep up with it,’ said Shawn Hughes, a technical supporter worker for Candid Hosting in Tampa. The site was getting more than 800 hits per second, he said, and was slowing connection to 36 other Web sites that share the same equipment. ‘Eight hundred hits a second, that’s incredible,’ Hughes said. ‘It’s scary. It’s a sick society that wants to look at that stuff.’…

Bugbee, 34, said he has been interviewing Tourtelot during the past three days and plans to share what he has learned during his two-hour Internet radio program at noon today on www.radiofreesatan.com.”
