odd show stories

**SgtD** · 10-18-2007, 01:41 AM

i'd like this forum to be pushed forward a bit to the shows, music, experiences. post a strange happening you witnessed at a show! i'll start it off.

3 years ago i was at an open air festival. lots of bands, lots of people. the shows started early, about 12-14.00, and needless to say, in the summertime it's way too hot this time of the day. The first bands played their sets, there were people in front of this huge stage, but only a few people were going off, probably because of the heat.
about 15.00 an italian band called Ingegno came on stage to play their set. as written above, only a few people were up front, everybody else, let's say 400 people were in the shades, at their camps etc.
At the end of the band's set, all of a sudden a guy appeared from nowhere wearing nothing but a wrestling mask! He was moshing it up totally naked. It was so funny, the singer forgot the words, and everybody was laughing histerically.

One time when my old band was playing, we were in the middle of our set and this dude runs up on stage wearing nothing but some sort of ladies thong and starts prancing about the stage and shaking his dick at our drummer. We knew the guy from another band and he was a funy dude but we totally didn't expect it, almost had to stop playing with laughter.

Not so much a hardcore show story but Davey Havok got punched in the nuts pretty hard when he did his walking on people thing here in 2003. Dude looked in serious pain but managed to suck it up and keep singing.

now that's a great story, not too odd though. said guy should expect that kind of shit all the time, 24/7!

mid august of this year, some friends and me were at pukkelpop in belgium. so one of my best mates and me were watching a concert of Enter Shikari, the rest of our mates were still on the campingsite cause they were too lazy, it was like 14.00... so the concert was a bit boring, and we saw some snubs standing 48 ft from us. my friend had a bunch of french fries with andalouse and i had a cup of water. so we threw it at the same time on those snubs, haha, i laughed my ass off ! they turned their backs and saw the 2 of us laughing and everybody else around us started laughing. after the "incident" they stopped talking and showing their stuff and just watched the concert.. lol anything can happen at a festival :p

This story isnt so much wierd, as much as it was an interesting experience for me. My first hxc show (well arguably considering the band is marketed more as metal now) was 100 demons in windsor a couple years back. I am not sure if anybody has even been to windsor Ontario, but the place is an absolute shit hole. The reason it was interesting was because a couple of guys from Detroit's courage crew crossed the border for the show, so at one point i was standing up front and i was face to face with a guy who had to have been 6'6, 300 lbs, with a skull tattooed on his bald head and an X tattooed in his cheek, and of course a courage crew jacket. I am pretty sure this guy was there with the sole purpose of hurting people. I spent the whole show, hands over my face so i didnt get his fist, or boot in my face. I realise this is a relatively boring story, but think of it from the perspective of somebody who had never been to that sort of show before. It was an interesting night for me.

Glad that goon didn't scare you away because that's exactly what it could have done with some other kids at the show.

you know what is funny? I am that goon. that show wasnt even that bad. you should have come across the bridge about 10 yrs ago.

**xflintsxfinestx** · 01-14-2009, 04:56 PM

Why do you feel the need to hurt people at shows? People are there to have a good time and listen to a band they paid money to see. But they can't enjoy it because there are people there trying to hurt others?

I think it's just selfish and I can't see how you benefit from acting like a goon. Is it the tough guy image that makes you feel good about yourself? Do you enjoy hurting people?

I just don't get any of it.

Well then you're not that goon, because I am 6'2 and he was taller than I was. Nevertheless, my point was, look at it from the perspective of someone who had never been to a hardcore show before.

**xflintsxfinestx** · 01-15-2009, 01:56 PM

it was me. it was the 100 demons show with collon of arabia. i was wearing my black courage crew varsity jacket that says courage crew. that show was a good time.

oh and i dont get off on hurting people. and of course you dont get it you are from another country. you dont even have real hardcore its just some watered down version of what we do. dancing is a release i cant help the fact that god made me big.
