    I'm really surprised people think this video shows an unruly GA crowd. You really have not experienced "up front" if think this is bad. The fact that the guy was able to stand there and not get bumped all over the place while he filmed should be evidence enough.

    is there really some douchnozzle wearing 3-D glasses in the crowd? Did I really see that???

    The San Fran general admission shows in 2006 were not this bad with regard to crowd slamming.

    that was the most painfully bro-ish thing ive ever seen... so many backwards hats, bandanas, and frosted tips... as if that festival lineup wasnt already bad enough... the crowd look like that??

    to all the "why are you paying attention to the crowd anyway?" folks... theres no way those frat boys wouldnt have distracted everyone from enjoying the show to its fullest

    thanks for the link though! the song sounded pretty good live :D

    not really a fan of how they tuned down to play the song live.. it sounded kinda flat to me, and nowhere near as energetic as the studio version.

    Well, it WAS the first time they've ever played it live.

    Also, the audio on that guy's camera is far from perfect.

    Give it a chance.

    the crowd was definitely a bunch of douche bags but who cares. atleast these kids are experiencing some sick ass music (which I can guarentee is better then anything they normally listen to) and are having a good time.

    i hear ya, but audio quality aside, they played the song in a completely different (lower) key.

    they did the same thing with life wasted last year, and that song lost some punch as well.

    now, i know why they did it.. because it's easier on eddie's throat, particularly for LW. but i didn't think the fixer would be that much of a strain for eddie that they would have to drop down.

    Yep the crowd was full of D-bags, I was initially (before the show) near the front but I could tell 20 minutes before PJ hit the stage that it would get stupid and it did.

    I seen a hand-ful of young/old women leaving crying, some dude bleeding from his nose/lip plus had a black eye. Seen two very nice couples (around 35 years of age) high tailing out of there because it was stupid.

    My g/f did not want to be involved in it so we moved 15 paces back and we had a better view and more enjoyable time. Minus the shirt-less guy/backwards hat that insisted on crowd surfing in an area where no one seen him (or for the matter wanted to aid him in his quest to crowd surf) who almost took off my head. He did a face plant on my shoulder then proceeded downward face first into rocks.

    No lying, LESS than two minutes later it repeated with the same guy and no one wanting to catch him, and without my shoulder to break his fall he did a complete header into the rocks....moron and morons trying to toss people in an area outside of the pit. I think the guy left with a concussion because he could barely walk straight and looked very disorientated, or he was hammered. Well most likely a little bit of column and a little bit of column b.

    I agree with coachchris...the setup at this festival was BRUTAL, borderline dangerous...I watched a guy with a 3 or 4 yr old girl on his shoulders trying to get away from the bottleneck where the barricades were moved (Ed mentioned it)...it nearly caused a friggin avalanche of people trying to make room for him. (watching drunks standing on a hill all night was kinda entertaining, kinda annoying).
    I stayed out of the pit and enjoyed the show from about 50 ft in front of the soundbooth.

    There WERE a lot of idiots there....saw a few juice pigs scrapping in the beer gardens (a first for a PJ show - never seen a fight at one before) ....But holy fuck some of you people sound down right geriatric the way you talk about those in the pit...to each their own. People should know what to expect at the front. Don't go in if you don't like it...the venom towards those that chose to partake is a bit over the top. From what I saw, there wasn't much that went on that doesnt' go on at ANY GA show....the crowd was very well behaved, Ed even mentioned it at the end...

    Hey no problem with the pit here but making the case there were tonnes of d-bags, however, I left because my g/f wanted to leave I would stayed and pushed close if need be. But where we ended up (edge of the pit) was good enough as I could see better and could pay more attention.

    Judging from the band I almost want to say they enjoyed the mayhem, something a little different I guess. Maybe not having the "hard-cores" all standing up front leaving for a piss break during Even Flow and playing to a different audience (that regardless of a lot of the mosh crowd being d-bags they really gave energy to every single song like a hard-core fan), will give them credit to that.

    Just had a feeling looking at the guys looking back to crowd full of smiles and giving point outs I think the energy of the pit brought them to life. Band look way more lively than when I seen them four times in 2005.

    But I agree if it is GA be prepared for the craziness.

    Crowd surf on my head you moron and see what happens. We're 30+ now. You idiots. Or... is it just Canadians that still do this stupid shit?

    As far as "being prepared"... ummm... Bonnaroo didn't have this idiocy and I venture to bet that it was much larger a festival. People weren;t even retards during Metallica.

    Anyway, I love it, open a gap, grab his clothes, and slam his head into the ground as best you can. That's the best remedy.

    Well if you've been listening for around 20 years, sure... you're 30 and up. But it's nice that you young lads enjoy the show too :)

    We're 30+ now

    I am 25.

    But crowdsurfing etc are for morons. And people in that crowd looked quite... funny.

    At least there wasn't a bunch of flags in teh audience. Can't stand people with their stupid flags. "Oh look at me I'm from Portugal".

    i was at bonnaroo behind the pit and people were goin nuts. me and my buddy noticed after awhile we were slowly moving backwards the whole show cause the idiots behavior was slowly moving back..

    if you get close at a GA show expect the worst.
    but you shouldnt have to deal with pure douche..that crowd was awful
    i'll see you all in austin..dont forget your neon ray-bans
