With the Red Hot Chili Peppers in town for a concert, drummer Chad Smith made a heinous tactical error during a pre-gig drum clinic at the Hard Rock Cafe in Belo Horizonte that resulted in receiving scores of death threats from jilted Flamengo fans.

Smith was gifted a Flamengo shirt from a fan in the crowd - after the shirt was held aloft to a mixed reaction from the baying audience, Smith then stuffed the jersey down the back of his jeans before removing it and casually discarding it.
