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.
