You can really only threaten a person (especially one who is 6-foot-8) with a weapon you are actually holding, anyway.

My band is on the..."My axe is on the bandstand<br />My band is on the floor" <br />could perhaps also read as a passive aggressive threat, followed by the accelerated heart beat previously mentioned, and the next verse being the blood rush to the brain where an internal conflict plays out in one’s head, equating the situation to a national injustice, ‘you know who I am?’ scenario, the indignity, self-importance of a ‘star’, etc etc etc, oh the joy of lyrics.
