Nirvana actually did way better. Buenos Aires, 1992, the entire crowd (50.000) were harassing the all-female opening act. Throwing stuff, remarks like “show us your t**s”, booing, the works. After eventually wanting to cancel the gig, Kurt decided on going forth and botching the entire thing on purpose. Singing horribly, screaming random lyrics, playing obscure songs that no-one knew, doing the Smells Like-intro before EVERY song without even playing it once and destroying their gear after 40 minutes. Boss move. Look it up, I believe the entire gig has been recorded and on UA-cam.
I wish I could've heard what Kurt said when he got up and actively called him out before going back to the performance. One of life's great mysteries I suppose.
And this is one reason why Metal, Rock, Goth, Grunge, and Experimental musicians are heavily respected; much love and respect to them all for looking out for audience.
Exactly. Which is why I have a huge problem with the links of Falling in Reverse. They claim that "metal" band status but say shit like "is everyone done rating on each other? ok let me get back to my show" when fights break out and security has to break it up.
@@OtterThunder Their music reflects how much they suck too, usually do not talk smack about bands but yea their attitude and music match each other well.
My parents won't let me go to shows alone because of shit like this. My dad literally went with me to see Jerry Cantrell's solo show last year, even though he doesn't know even one AIC song, just because he was afraid of me being alone in a club.
sounds familiar to me… I‘m also a female and my parents always want to know at least one guy (or at least two girls) going with me if I attend concerts. It really sucks, even with one of my male friends being with me I got assaulted several times :/
i was in a small metal club last week where there was a lot of moshing and wall of deaths going on, i was in the middle of that for over 2 hours. i saw many girls around in the pit and 99% of the guys were careful around them or trying to shelter them with their bodies from the real messy part of the pit. there were so many crowdsurfers, guys and girls and from what i can tell everyone had a great time. i had a chat with most of the people in the pit afterwards at the bar and they were all happy and protected. that is what music and concerts are about man, having a good time together and meeting nice people
Unwritten rules are if someone goes down you pick em up back up. The ladies don't need to be sheltered in the pits (been to many many metal and punk shows over the past 30 years and they hold their own pretty well) If you see someone groping or sexually harrasing the ladies then by all means go no holds bar, if you see the ladies do it - call them out on it as well as it goes both ways. If someone is too inebriated - get some folks to help bring them out of the pit to security so they don't get trampled. The pit can be a dangerous place but generally everyone does look out for everyone else (except at hardcore shows - those folks get real violent).
I saw cancer bats a few years back and Liam dragged a girl onto the stage while they were performing and no one really knew why, she got back into the crowd and during the next song he dropped his mic mid flow, grabbed some guy’s head and put his foot through it. Turns out he was groping the girl from behind and she was really drunk. The whole crowd threw the guy out and I’ll never forget that! What a badass
I have been to concerts of different sizes and different genres. I have been to festivals. Those where I felt the safest were the metal and goth genre. The ppl mostly watch out for each other. The musicians watch out for their fans.
It says a lot about the people who go to these concerts. I wanted once to go to a Linkin Park concert. My friend who knew I was pretty religious convinced me to not go because people there are drunk, on drugs, and get in fights. My roommate said basically the same (I was in college back then). A couple of years later I found another Linkin Park fan. She was a very nice girl and told me that Linkin Park fans are very nice people. I think this (not going to that concert) is one of my biggest regrets in my life. I appreciate that these friends tried to protect me but, unfortunately, they judged a group of people without knowing them.
Having gone to rock shows a lot, I always go with my dad. And a lot of these guys are probably dad's themselves. Of course, they'd be getting mad. Great job, guys, and ladies. Rock shows are for having fun and sex love and rock and roll. Not abuse.
All these guy's are great, just because there heavy rockers doesn't mean they let the thing there singing about and how they feel about it (cause it's mostly painful) get in the way of looking out for there fans, there all really nice guys
For real. Yet, majority of people today still praise and worship dickheads like Travis Scott who happened to let 8 people die in an overwhelming wangster moshpit and not give a damn.
@@andrewgarcia5353 Lol. My own big sister, my very first rock show, which was BB, that she took me to in 2013, and I saw them again in 2019, and some guys came up to me, my sister, my then-girlfriend, and my sister's girlfriend, and I'm the only guy there out of the bunch but at the time I was only 15-16, and they were all adults. Well, what happened was that the guys had approached my sister and had been saying stuff to her and girlfriend. Eventually one of them decided to touch her, and I said, "Don't do that man. You do not want to do this right now." I could clearly tell they were both wasted, but I wasn't backing down from that. The taller guy got in my face and said some stuff, but I said "Beat it, bud." Then I pushed the guy into his friend and they both came at me, I ended up dropping both of them. My dad said to go straight for the nuts if anyone tried anything, and he trained me in karate and judo because he was a black belt in both. So what happened was they both got thrown out after he gave them a verbal bashing and asked of we were all okay too. We just wanted to watch a show and after seeing that everything was fine again, we went on with the show. Any other concerts I've been to since then, especially rock, I have my head on a swivel and always make sure that there's drunks accounted for that are not trying to cop a feel. I wouldn't be afraid of saying anything.
I remember being at a Coheed and Cambria concert a few years back and Claudio stopped the show to address some guy being a douche to this other poor guy and his girlfriend for it was getting out of hand. I remember thinking at that moment, wow, what a fucking hero :D
I think I can understand some comments saying "It's crowd surfing. Don't expect safety". You're right, You're gonna get touched in the butt or whatever. Now another different thing is that they grope you in an inappropriate way when you are crowd diving. Like guys trying to take women's clothes off, or guys trying to reach chicks' breasts. You may have accidentally touched a woman's butt in crowd diving but don't be a monster when it comes to taking advantage of the situation. We have to respect each other. Take care of the bodies of others. It's like in the Mosh pit. If one falls, everyone stops until they get up and the party can continue.
I've been to hundreds of gigs, mainly metal of varying descriptions but also hard rock & punk, starting at age 16. I've never been assaulted in any way at a gig. I've always found gigs to be safer than real life.
I wish some fans would learn to respect other people's personal space just because you bought a ticket doesn't give you the right to be a weirdo in the moshpit the metal community is one big family and some idiot has to ruin a good time because he/she thinks that they can get away with things in tbe pit.
A dude kept elbowing me at MCR. Then the girl next to me got punched. People are fucking sick all because they assume you can’t be respectful and still have fun. You don’t have to be against the barricade to have fun
But if you do try to get to barricade or end up near or in the pit - you have to expect that you might get a limb thrown into you. or a crutch to the side of the head or a full water bottle land on your temple, or get a guy with a arm covered in chainmail land on your spine. or get your piecerings ripped out, or kicked in the face by a hardcore dancer, or having a dogpile of 10 heavy heavy metal fans land on your because the circle pit decided to trip all at once. It is a concert - things happen. If you see intentional sexual harrasment or groping elbow them in the face or knee them in the balls. If you see someone fall pick em up, have common sense but don't expect everyone to look out for you, you and you alone have the choice of moving spots.
It sadly wasn’t caught on video to my knowledge but I wanna say it was 99 or maybe 2000 at a local all day show Disturbed was playing and he gave nearly the same wording as flea, BUT he also added: “Do it again and I’ll fuckin kick your ass myself. The crowd parted like Moses splitting the sea 😂😂 dude literally ran away 😂
Some of the artists are like "Oh I don't wanna call them out you know who you are!", "you are disgusting.", "respect each other.". They just talk, they don't do anything about this problem and they let the perverts do what they want and they don't even kick them out the show and continue the show. Nirvana, on the other hand, not only kicks the guy out in the middle of the show but they humilate him infront of thousands as well.
I understand wanting to put a shithead on blast but that might be a giant liability for the artist if someone gets jumped at a show. Not saying it’s right, every show should be safe for everyone that’s just my guess why they don’t do that.
I remember when I saw Powerman 5000, some huge adult threw hands at a kid that isn’t even above the age of 10. All because he dared to mosh, the opener saw him & told him to get out. Based singer, and got a picture with him!
Shirley Manson from Garbage can be a real fury whenever someone's off-line, like spitting at the stage or just people fighting in the crowd. Look it up, very entertaining - and pretty daunting if you're the bad guy!
That reminds me of my last gig when the club's photographer beat my friend up for stumbling on him while moshing and it made the entire crowd go away, and I like a dumbass was so concentrated on my guitar that I didn't notice that. I know, not as bad as any of these situations here but I learned a lesson for life from this shit. Always focus on the crowd and make sure nobody gets hurt at your shows, it can even save lives :)
I go to a lot of shows and the etiquette seems a lot better now. I’m 104lbs girl and I go into mosh pits often, sometimes guys ask if I wanna come out and I’m like nah but thanks for looking out for me. Ppl fall, they get picked up. Ppl drop their wallet or need to tie their shoe laces, ppl create a barrier around them. Its nice to see :)
Best pit i was in for this - was a tiny girl like 4 foot nothing was holding her own and everyone was like hell ya! then a dude lost a contact and everyone formed a perimeter and stopped the pit to help the guy look for it. Then later on a drunk guy fell unconscious so a bunch of us picked up and sort of used him as a ram to get throught the crowd so we could get him to first aid.
Depends on what you mean by "mosh pit". Some mosh pits look pretty sad so anyone can be in them. Then there are the mosh pits where they look like literal hurricanes filled with 6 foot steroid fucks. Very different types of mosh pits
Travis didn't gave 2 shits about people dying and being hurt. And bands like linkin park asking if the crowd is okay and not wanting to play music until they are sure everyone is rocking. Metal is just the superior scene.
@@forceitmusic I have literally seen more fights at hard rock and metal shows over a girl being groped or touched, than literally any other genre that I've seen live. I've seen Willie Nelson, I've seen Neil Young, and I've seen Dave Matthews all bands very different styles but all very nice in their own ways, but I've never seen any real fights start at these shows. The 3 rock/metal shows, outside of the second Evanescence I saw which was peaceful and fun, had at least one fight because of a girl being caught in the middle of something or someone getting beat up because of groping.
Love rock music and bands and the people... Seems like it's one of the few concerts you can go to and know that the band cares just as much as you ❤️🤘🤟
Clearly you have not been on the floor or been to any big festival. If you have you would know there is no personal space and if you are closer to the front you can't expect that. If you want space - move into the pit and join the moshing or move to the sides or back.
And death metal is about dismembering bodies in as many creative ways as possible, most older rock has songs about getting with 17 year old girls or falling in love with a prostitute, or drinking. Rock bands where all about sex drugs and rock and roll.
Zac from rage against the machine deals with it just like you’d expect that band to do it, “Those girls are just trying to have a good time, ok? That’s FUCKING BULLSHIT”
My personal favorite was at a Fugazi show where Ian MacKaye stopped the show to point out a dude fighting people in the crowd. But then co-frontman Guy Picciotto said he saw the abuser outside before the show eating ice cream with his buddy, and how he’s trying to act all tough now. He ended it with “ice cream eating motherfucker.” Funniest shit ever.
I remember at a Rev Horton Heat show, it wasn't really a mosh pit, but a girl fell down. The first reaction was "hey, somebody got hurt, get her back up". Polite behavior.
Just a reminder but the legal initials S.A. stand SEXUAL ASSAULT and that can get financially bad for you if you participate in these acts that do include groping anyone when not given permission to do so.
Well I always hated the term sexual assault. It's a broad thing that includes groping, touching (in any area of the body), and even dry humping is in that umbrella as well. And yet, sexual harassments also always included groping or the spoken words that they'd grope someone or say anything about the other person's body.
In the mean time, the likes of Falling in reverse get indignant when they have to stop their show because fights break out. Followed up by an ever classy "ok are you guys done rating each other out? Good, let's go".
In 2018, was in Memphis & I was waiting for Sum 41 to hit the stage, & while they were setting up, there was this guy who kept running around & air humping people. Then he got closer to us, & he started doing it to these girls who were at the most 17-18 years old & this dude was in his 30’s & he was getting super aggressive with it. i saw enough & he ran my way & I double legged him & slammed on the ground & it took the breath outta him. The people around me started clapping & security ended up getting him outta there. I know your at a concert & you want to have fun, but also be respectful to the people around you & don’t act like an 🤡
If Kurt was here he would have faded into obscurity along with everybody else in his genre. A couple exceptions of course. But if you listen to the surviving members of Nirvana, Nirvana was over and he was sick of being famous. So I have to disagree. ✌️
Yeah, great guy. Hooked on H with a baby daughter, together with a woman hooked on H with a baby daughter. Junkies with a baby but yeah, great guy. Ask F.B.K what she thinks of her parents.
Not gonna lie, I have done just this same thing but just whenever I see it happen and confront the guy, especially if it's only one guy, well I just confront them and say "Hey, leave the ladies alone, if you want to do something, we can step aside and I can show you what it will feel like if you want." I have thankfully had 0 take me up on that so far. But it's not empty threats, I really take that stuff seriously.
What we all need to do and this includes every rock and metal listener. If we see someone do this at a show, we beat there a$ and they’ll never come up again just like with Corey Taylor and the thor story if any of you know what I’m talking about
most of the videos were great and handled well, not a fan of the offspring guy's handling of it though. doesn't the last comment kinda defeat the point?
I watched the Woodstock 99 story recently- and omg- it would have sucked to be a young woman at that show…. When you see how Fred durst acts- imagine a whole crowd of people who are just like him. Total freakin dumb as*es
I've heard crazy stuff from that show. But the earlier Woodstock's also had crazy stuff happen. That's why they stopped the shows, because they didn't have enough security, and the fans were getting too crazy. Especially the guys. It's that heard/pack mentality with some guys. It's those guys that are the easiest to beat up though. And ironically the easiest to back-down from a fight.
Which is also sexual assault. How about we kick those who grope out (men and women) and those who are crowd surfing let them surf (though if you are surfing you have to accept you will be touched on the butt, back, head, feet etc. Sometimes you do flip over and sometimes you fall head first because a void in the crowd happens.)
Yeah. Everyone who's done any homework on that realizes how disturbing it was and how messed up the whole show got. Now we don't have any Woodstock because of that one show. Apparently, never been verified, but there were many many girls being groped and even some who were r**ed throughout the show. It was just a really badly set-up show with only very few security. You do something like a festival of that size today, and there's probably close to a hundred security and numerous police on standby.
@@zaynes5094 There are a few accounts of rapes at that festival and hate to tell you this but it sadly happens at every festival, the bigger they are the higher the chance.
Man I remember this dude kept touching these girls butts next to me and another dude we herd them say stop and he bent down pretending to tie show and I see him reach up that man got hit so hard wrong on my part but we ended up kicking in the pit and he got smacked around a bit then dragged out it was great.
This says volumes about the type of peraon who goes to see heavy metal thrash goth concerts...Shit like this doesnt happen at Alan Jackson shows. Cowboys are respectful.

Shirley Manson from Garbage can be a real fury whenever someone's off-line, like spitting at the stage or just people fighting in the crowd. Look it up, very entertaining - and pretty daunting if you're the bad guy!
That reminds me of my last gig when the club's photographer beat my friend up for stumbling on him while moshing and it made the entire crowd go away, and I like a dumbass was so concentrated on my guitar that I didn't notice that.
I know, not as bad as any of these situations here but I learned a lesson for life from this shit. Always focus on the crowd and make sure nobody gets hurt at your shows, it can even save lives :)
I go to a lot of shows and the etiquette seems a lot better now. I’m 104lbs girl and I go into mosh pits often, sometimes guys ask if I wanna come out and I’m like nah but thanks for looking out for me. Ppl fall, they get picked up. Ppl drop their wallet or need to tie their shoe laces, ppl create a barrier around them. Its nice to see :)
Best pit i was in for this - was a tiny girl like 4 foot nothing was holding her own and everyone was like hell ya! then a dude lost a contact and everyone formed a perimeter and stopped the pit to help the guy look for it. Then later on a drunk guy fell unconscious so a bunch of us picked up and sort of used him as a ram to get throught the crowd so we could get him to first aid.
Yessss we love to see it!
Depends on what you mean by "mosh pit". Some mosh pits look pretty sad so anyone can be in them. Then there are the mosh pits where they look like literal hurricanes filled with 6 foot steroid fucks. Very different types of mosh pits
all legends. period

What does this video have that Travis Scott doesn't? Humanity
Travis didn't gave 2 shits about people dying and being hurt. And bands like linkin park asking if the crowd is okay and not wanting to play music until they are sure everyone is rocking.
Metal is just the superior scene.
@@forceitmusic I have literally seen more fights at hard rock and metal shows over a girl being groped or touched, than literally any other genre that I've seen live. I've seen Willie Nelson, I've seen Neil Young, and I've seen Dave Matthews all bands very different styles but all very nice in their own ways, but I've never seen any real fights start at these shows. The 3 rock/metal shows, outside of the second Evanescence I saw which was peaceful and fun, had at least one fight because of a girl being caught in the middle of something or someone getting beat up because of groping.
Love rock music and bands and the people... Seems like it's one of the few concerts you can go to and know that the band cares just as much as you ❤️🤘🤟
Easy loving lover or what
Just give people their personal space when at a concert, everyone is just there to have a good time so just be that jackass who ruins it for everyone
having no personal space in a pit is expected
Clearly you have not been on the floor or been to any big festival. If you have you would know there is no personal space and if you are closer to the front you can't expect that. If you want space - move into the pit and join the moshing or move to the sides or back.
I like how 2 of these were from Woodstock 99
Admit it, modern pop/rap stars wouldn’t address this because all their songs are about sex and cheating and body count crap.
Suicideboys are a modern rap group and are in this video. Also plenty of videos of pop artists have done this
And death metal is about dismembering bodies in as many creative ways as possible, most older rock has songs about getting with 17 year old girls or falling in love with a prostitute, or drinking. Rock bands where all about sex drugs and rock and roll.
@@corail53 I’m not talking about death metal I’m saying grunge/nu metal/metalcore bands are generally relatively clean and so are their fans
Kurt was ready to go out in that crowd
Aaron Lewis’ rant is still the best. The clip in this comp is a shortened version. He goes on for much longer.
Same. I watched that video a year or 2 ago. he earned my respect
The people doing the groping at the shows need to laid down on the floor of the MoshPit and learn a lesson from those around them
Travis Scott could learn a thing or two
Zac from rage against the machine deals with it just like you’d expect that band to do it, “Those girls are just trying to have a good time, ok? That’s FUCKING BULLSHIT”
Love how $uicideBoy$ finally being accepted in the metal community
They’re nu metal at most
My personal favorite was at a Fugazi show where Ian MacKaye stopped the show to point out a dude fighting people in the crowd. But then co-frontman Guy Picciotto said he saw the abuser outside before the show eating ice cream with his buddy, and how he’s trying to act all tough now. He ended it with “ice cream eating motherfucker.” Funniest shit ever.
These are great responses
There have been times when abusive fans have called out bands, but no one heard them
Good compilation.
*But these are just decent rockstars.*
Wait till you see what *black metal musicians* actually do to abusive fans at their shows.
Not surprising lol
They're just as polite as they can be. Nothing you wouldn't see on the streets, I guess.
They do nothing the others wouldn't. Black metal folks are all an act my friend - source been in and been to many black metal shows the past 30 years.
I don’t understand what makes someone do anything other than try to get as close as possible to the stage at a concert
I don't like Aaron Lewis, but I respect him for calling out that disgusting man!!
Same
These clips give me a renewed faith in mankind
YES !!! Everyone, please protect our women and children
I Love you ALL !!!! ~ Peace
I remember at a Rev Horton Heat show, it wasn't really a mosh pit, but a girl fell down. The first reaction was "hey, somebody got hurt, get her back up". Polite behavior.
Just a reminder but the legal initials S.A. stand SEXUAL ASSAULT and that can get financially bad for you if you participate in these acts that do include groping anyone when not given permission to do so.
Well I always hated the term sexual assault. It's a broad thing that includes groping, touching (in any area of the body), and even dry humping is in that umbrella as well.
And yet, sexual harassments also always included groping or the spoken words that they'd grope someone or say anything about the other person's body.
Good luck trying to prosecute that at a concert or even finding the person who did it once kicked out or called out.
Key word: CONSENT
If they're not asking for it, DON'T FUCKING DO IT.
I love this so much
@2:24 "Hey, girls.... Are you guys alright?" 😆
Frank Carter needs to be on this list
Were you ever at the tramlines gig in Sheffield about 10 years ago when he flipped at security
Young guys tend not to think it's a big deal, but everyone needs to grow up sometime.
I'm making my wife watch these videos to let her know if we ever go to a concert. She will be safe bands pay attention
Dexter Holland warned abusive fans in a nice way.
good for them for calling assholes out
Lovely.
In the mean time, the likes of Falling in reverse get indignant when they have to stop their show because fights break out. Followed up by an ever classy "ok are you guys done rating each other out? Good, let's go".
But no, metal is the "devil's music"
This is what we call chad behavior
The last guy just understands how the world works.
I like how that's how the dude from The Offspring sounds.
$uicideboy$ made it to loudwire? Y'all should do a fact or fiction
Utter nonsense comment
Imagine paying money to go see your favorite band, then you decide to be a pos and mess with someone.
In 2018, was in Memphis & I was waiting for Sum 41 to hit the stage, & while they were setting up, there was this guy who kept running around & air humping people. Then he got closer to us, & he started doing it to these girls who were at the most 17-18 years old & this dude was in his 30’s & he was getting super aggressive with it. i saw enough & he ran my way & I double legged him & slammed on the ground & it took the breath outta him. The people around me started clapping & security ended up getting him outta there. I know your at a concert & you want to have fun, but also be respectful to the people around you & don’t act like an 🤡
The planet would be different if Kurt was still here.. He was awesome
I often ask myself how he would've evolved as a musician and what kind of music he'd be writing today.
If Kurt was here he would have faded into obscurity along with everybody else in his genre. A couple exceptions of course. But if you listen to the surviving members of Nirvana, Nirvana was over and he was sick of being famous. So I have to disagree. ✌️
@@marcoslemes5643 no different at all? Kurt wasn't special. Lol, people are stupid.
Yeah, great guy. Hooked on H with a baby daughter, together with a woman hooked on H with a baby daughter. Junkies with a baby but yeah, great guy. Ask F.B.K what she thinks of her parents.
@@kbayeng we all know Courtney got him hooked on the shit and killed him for his money and only child
3:59 really explains alot about discord somehow.
My ex who was an abuser that idolized Kurt Cobain it’s ridiculous🤦🏼♀️
The truth is most audiences are rude and abusive to bands . . . That's why bands have bodyguards that are trained to seek out and destroy.
Funny how like almost half of the clips are from woodstock 99
Not gonna lie, I have done just this same thing but just whenever I see it happen and confront the guy, especially if it's only one guy, well I just confront them and say "Hey, leave the ladies alone, if you want to do something, we can step aside and I can show you what it will feel like if you want." I have thankfully had 0 take me up on that so far. But it's not empty threats, I really take that stuff seriously.
What we all need to do and this includes every rock and metal listener. If we see someone do this at a show, we beat there a$ and they’ll never come up again just like with Corey Taylor and the thor story if any of you know what I’m talking about
I've heard Dexter from The Offspring say that at 3 different shows. Is it Offspring fans or just part of their set??
both i guess😆
This happens at literally every concert.
meanwhile on their tour bus........
most of the videos were great and handled well, not a fan of the offspring guy's handling of it though. doesn't the last comment kinda defeat the point?
Facts
WOW!!! Opening this up with Flea from Chillipeppers of all people. LMMFAO..
4:27 - 4:33 Facts! 👍
Mad respect to RHCP
I watched the Woodstock 99 story recently- and omg- it would have sucked to be a young woman at that show…. When you see how Fred durst acts- imagine a whole crowd of people who are just like him. Total freakin dumb as*es
I've heard crazy stuff from that show. But the earlier Woodstock's also had crazy stuff happen. That's why they stopped the shows, because they didn't have enough security, and the fans were getting too crazy. Especially the guys. It's that heard/pack mentality with some guys. It's those guys that are the easiest to beat up though. And ironically the easiest to back-down from a fight.
Next time someone says "Oh Rockstar are nothing but degenerates who disrespect women" show them this video
This this stuff is thumbs up, but its also called having a good time and living life so...whatever.
"And if you're a girl and you see a guy passing overhead, I want you to grab his f***ing balls."
4:40 Absolutely Love it. LOL 😆
That was my favorite part gotta love dexter 🤣
Which is also sexual assault. How about we kick those who grope out (men and women) and those who are crowd surfing let them surf (though if you are surfing you have to accept you will be touched on the butt, back, head, feet etc. Sometimes you do flip over and sometimes you fall head first because a void in the crowd happens.)
Honestly that was the worst advice of all time, the dude would probably enjoy it
I’m noticing that a lot of these are from Woodstock ‘99
Yeah. Everyone who's done any homework on that realizes how disturbing it was and how messed up the whole show got. Now we don't have any Woodstock because of that one show. Apparently, never been verified, but there were many many girls being groped and even some who were r**ed throughout the show.
It was just a really badly set-up show with only very few security. You do something like a festival of that size today, and there's probably close to a hundred security and numerous police on standby.
@@zaynes5094 There are a few accounts of rapes at that festival and hate to tell you this but it sadly happens at every festival, the bigger they are the higher the chance.
Man I remember this dude kept touching these girls butts next to me and another dude we herd them say stop and he bent down pretending to tie show and I see him reach up that man got hit so hard wrong on my part but we ended up kicking in the pit and he got smacked around a bit then dragged out it was great.
Ruby Da Cherry? Ruby Da GOAT. I love $B
so many losers at shows these days. it's a sense of entitlement in today's generation.
Love Flea❤
Easy lover
Bands i like in this video:
RHCP
Breaking Benjamin
Nirvana
Rage Against The Machine
Staind
and
The Offspring
it's crazy how many of these are about men assaulting ppl 🙄
It's not just men, women do it too.
@bigrich6075 right
This says volumes about the type of peraon who goes to see heavy metal thrash goth concerts...Shit like this doesnt happen at Alan Jackson shows. Cowboys are respectful.
How many times are you gonna post this same video?
Sam Carter is awesome
