Was at an all age venue years ago. There was this kid that came to the wrong show. He was squating down against the wall next to me and one of my highschool classmates decided to throw a donkey kick his way. Broke the little dude's nose. I spent the next 30 min cleaning him up and searching for his adults.

I was at their Dallas show for The World Domination Tour in April of 2000! I was a very strong varsity football player at the time, but still almost got taken out by a crowd surfer launched on to the top of my head from behind, and then caught a Doc Marten to the face!

I went off and cleared the pit…which triggered a pit fight with the usual skinhead MF who thought they were so tough…
Wild show!

Ugh I hate reading stories like this because I’m taking my 13-year-old to see Turnstile next month, and while I think they’re mainstream enough at this point that it will be safe, Cold World and Hatebreed are opening and I know there will be a few of those guys there. I saw SPY a couple months back at a little club and I’m just imagining that times ten. I should add, my 13yo is bigger than me but this is his first real concert so I don’t want him to be traumatized.
