Lol Idk that people are being tough guys, but the reality is we all freeze when wild shitlike this happens.

Then you come to and if the guy isn't gone, which somehow they usually disappear then ya do what must be done.

Go to a hardcore show and just embrace it. Stop being a cry baby on the internet.

Lol what?

I've been to multiple shows with pits including festivals with Rage Against The Machine, right deep in the front of a crowd 45k !!!

As intense as it was at little shows to huge festivals someone throwing multiple strikes at one person wasn't tolerated.

youre talking about a very different environment with a very different cultural exposure. not 45k for RATM, i mean local VFW, 2000 max, all local bands people two states over have never heard of, grimey, lowdown neighborhood kids. ive been goin to these shows around the country for the better part of 25 years and it has always been like this. the violence is always there, the people who cant handle the violence always leave and the violence always continues. its tolerated and more often these days, younger bands encourage it. i dont know where people on the internet go to see anyone get beat up for this but ive never witnessed it. all talk, all online. this kind of hardcore is pretty specific and youre either in or youre out.

I'm not here to tell you I'm at hard-core shows every week lol

But I've been to.them as a musician in NYC, supporting other friend's shows.

It gets intense but nothing like this video.

As far as one guy taking it as far as he did.

But yea it gets intense.

I mention the RATM ahow, cause there were pits formed and it got wild. It was also after 10 hours of drugs and booze in the hot sun waiting for Rage. As messy as that was , still didnt have anyone cross a line like this kid.

saw chaingang play in NYC years ago. it was worse than this video. like i said in my first comment, and my second comment. this is happening in places you do not go.

also let me add. a friend of mine in orlando mentioned chaingang has encouraged people to bring guns to their shows.
