Pete and Roger, Keith and Mick, Slash and Axl.... Seriously, what guitarist hasn't imagined killing his band's lead singer? Or vice versa?

Ronald Strykert -- guitarist for the Eighties sensation from Oz, Men At Work -- took things a wee bit too far, though, when he allegedly threatened to kill his former bandmate, singer Colin Hay.

While Strykert denies the threat, and Hay attests that the guitarist would never go through with it, the guitarist was arrested last week for an outstanding bench warrant, after he failed to appear at an arraignment last May.

We're just irked that drama involving Met At Work, who had a big hit with "Who Can It Be Now?," doesn't involve that annoying saxophone player.

(Sidebar: To this day, Colin Hay puts on an incredible live show, and he's always on tour. Check him out!)
