It was not a Rant. It was a "Stop" because people were getting VERY hurt in front and a bunch of "stereotypical metalheads" with greasy hair who have never had a shower in their life started getting aggressive. The audience was pushing. I talked to Richard the next day and he acknowledged the wild audience, but said it was a high-energy show and definitely a great one. Talking to Richard made it so much better. I truly, honestly, being in the middle of the worst part of the audience, let go and though that I was about to die there. Axl stopped the show and then threatened to stop it again and the audience chilled out a little bit, though I was pushed back to around the 15th row by force. There were a few aggressive guys there and Axl must've noticed. The people in front were getting squished horribly. I am thankful that Axl stopped the show. People were getting badly hurt. My chest hurt for a week because I was pushed and squeezed so hard by people trying to get closer to the stage. I'd been waiting at the venue since 10 A.M. to get where I was. What a show. I was to the left of melee with the two fellas ready for a scrap. I can second the "I'm going to die" claims with the force of the crowd. I managed to keep my spot though, I just dug the old elbow's into the sides of anyone trying to surge past. Great fucking show. I had a horrific experience travelling mind you, but the show made up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My phone was stolen after the show and I don't give a damn because it was so good. I kept my elbows strong too but got overpowered. Still a damn good show and a great one for Axl's voice.
