Hate to go over old ground if you guys have done this all before, but I never heard you guys give your opinion on this before.
I'm sure we all kow about their stance.
I just downloaded a whole concert of theirs, I think the one at London Astoria in Feb of some year (2001?), which I inexplicably missed. It's the one where they do the big speech "This is how we're gonna do it...up and down all night...take care of each other...we don't want ot use security...you don't want to use security...don't exclude the women...or the small guys..we are a 100% equal ops band" Then Jim Ward starts pogo-ing like an idiot
So hilarious. And the review of the gig I remember said "To expect people to react to some of the most electrifying punk music in many years like its a performance of swan lake is ridiculous.
I'm watching it now...Cedric is playing guitar on RolodeX Propaganda...I did not know about this! Omar does the "Manuscript Replica" bit and Ward does the nonsence "cut it" bit. He's on keyboards.
I'm Rambling now. Question was about crowd policy.

i agree with their stance on it, you can jump up and down at a show and not slam into everyone around you and still have fun. i think the reason why they drive the point home is because they don't wanna anybody getting hurt, because i remember watching a show they did where they said they played a festival where someone died, so that probably had an impact on it.

it depends on the style of music and atdi didn't play music that should be moshed to...you should dance to their stuff...
...personally, as a member of a band that has done live shows, i wouldn't mind if someone wanted to push a bit but when they start being assholes and hurting people, that's where i draw the line

i agree, i used to be a metal head back in the day and i got hurt a lot. broken nose, black eyes and such. this will really fuck up the experience of a show in my opinion. so , ATD_I wanted everyone to fully experience the music ...so crowd control was necessary.

i heard that a friend of atdi was killed at a gig
i think its fun to do stuff like that, but there is a point where it stops being fun and becomes dangerous.

(napolean solo being about the two gals) |

motherprussia, maybe that's also just a misunderstatement, but wasn't it that the girls were killed in a car crash _not_ to the way to one of their shows but before atdi went out to play?

(napolean solo being about the two gals) thats what my brother told me and i assume his friend (an atdi fan) told him. maybe he got it confused, maybe he didnt. either explanation wouldnt really surprise me |

The only death at a gig I have heard of is one girl (I think) at a Limp Bizkit concert bout 3-4 years ago. Though if we're honest, anyone going off to a Limp Bizkit concert deserves that fate really.

I havent really read any of your posts, but are you guys talking about how Cedric tried to calm down the crowds so people didnt get hurt? That was cool, he's a good man.
