  • so i got kicked out of the shinedown show last night.
    john45_3685

    so long story short: it was saving abel shinedown and a7x. no one was moving during saving abel. people behind me started pushing me, so naturally, i had to push the people in front of me. next thing i know this 300 lbs. black security guard has me over the baracade and in a full nelson. he drags me to the doors, and throws me onto the side walk and tells me to go home. one problem, my friend (who is still inside) has my car keys. its fucking 40degrees, and i have no sweatshirt or cell phone (both in the car) so im like FUCK THIS. the concert was in the fucking ghetto, and i had to fuckin walk to this ghetto ass gas station and use the phone, but no one could pick me up. now im pissed because i knew shinedown would be coming on soon. so i walked back inside, and snuck through the bar, and behind the security guards checking tickets, and into the room the show was in. so i got back in just in time to see shinedown.

    after the show i am about to meet barry in the parking lot, when a security guard comes up to me and says "you've been ejected you have to leave the parking lot" well my girlfriend convinced barry to come over to the sidewalk and he came and hung out with me for a few minutes.

    so sry that wasnt really short, but it pissed me off. at least i got back in tho.

i wasnt even pissed about getting kicked out. i dont care about a7x (sorry lol) i was fucking pissed i was gunna miss shinedown. and then the crowd pissed me off even more. some guy hit brent in the face with a beer, and brent had to tell the crowd to call down, and take 2 steps backwards so everyone would stop getting crushed.

hey john that really sucks you got kicked out man. security really does suck these days. and naturally when you are being pushed it's hard to stop and not push those in front of you. on jun. 24th sd had a show in pharr, texas there was no security and people were pushing like crazy. we were really moving the rail. people in the back wouldn't stop pushing us in the front while sd was playing. it made it hard to enjoy the show. i had been trying to get brents attention since he was right above us and when i did he really helped us. he told everyone to knock it off or they would stop playing and everyone backed off. but up until then we were getting crushed in the front. i'll never forget that brent helped us. and the idiot at your show that threw the beer at him is ignorant you don't do that to the preacher.

John, bummer on getting kicked out...at least you made it back in!

The crowd was for sure D E A D for Saving Abel! Hardly anyone responded to them. Granted, I wasnt there to see them and I didnt like them at all, but still.

Although when Shinedown came on...holy hell. It got crazy! It was even worse for Avenged. It seemed like most of the crowd was there for Avenged but a good portion of them (or at least where I was standing

John & I were in the back and we could hear Brent perfectly . He sounded great like always. The sound was imo much better in the back from all of concerts I've seen on the rail on this tour. I just couldn't see them at all. John & I were the only shinedown freaks in the back it seemed but we had fun.

so long story short: it was saving abel shinedown and a7x. no one was moving during saving abel. people behind me started pushing me, so naturally, i had to push the people in front of me. next thing i know this 300 lbs. black security guard has me over the baracade and in a full nelson. he drags me to the doors, and throws me onto the side walk and tells me to go home. one problem, my friend (who is still inside) has my car keys. its fucking 40degrees, and i have no sweatshirt or cell phone (both in the car) so im like FUCK THIS. the concert was in the fucking ghetto, and i had to fuckin walk to this ghetto ass gas station and use the phone, but no one could pick me up. now im pissed because i knew shinedown would be coming on soon. so i walked back inside, and snuck through the bar, and behind the security guards checking tickets, and into the room the show was in. so i got back in just in time to see shinedown.
