I don't mean something along the lines of, "Matt took off his jacket and Syn waved to the crowd."

I saw a concert on Nov. 15th 2007, in Philadelphia and some guy was standing next to my friend and he looked high as fuck. Then he started to lean towards her and then fell, almost of her. He hit ground like a sack of potatoes and had a seizure! It was so scary! His eyes rolled back in his head and everyone around him backed up and just watched. Then my dad and a 2 youngish looking guys helped him up and got the bouncer. He got taken away. That was last we saw of him. It was absolutely terrifying! That was the first time I've seen someone have a seizure and it was like first A7X show. Other than that, the show was amazing. They played Remenissions and I almost soiled myself!

Oh, I've got a story.

During Almost Easy, the circle pit got a lot more violent. It was their last song, and my personal favorite, so I was recording a bit. I was looking at the stage, recording, and all of a sudden the moshers in front of my looked over at the circle pit. I looked over to see what was going on, as a guy coming flying (okay, running) towards our side of the circle pit. I was standing right next to the pit, unfortunately. The guy on the rim of the pit steps aside, and the 500-pound, 40-year old Metallica fan falls on top of me.

Rather horrific, if I do say so myself.

lol at mine it was funny!
Ok so Matt says "I like El Paso, its like its own little city of evil"
and my stupid brother yells "No El Paso is the third safeest city" and all you hear is matt say "What the fuck!"

But the really crazy thing was the stuff getting thrown
Someone threw a wig(ew), someone threw a sailors cap(thats bad), someone was there in their marines suit(against the rules) and people started throwing beer all over.

I dunno if this counts,
But I camped out from 5:30 am so I could get my rightful place at the barricade. I spent the whole day waiting with my friend and endured about 3 arguments, insults from other people on line because I don't exactly seem to fit the mold of a typical A7X fan, and then comes the news that they'd be letting in people who were members of the fan club into the venue first. Not to mention that it was about 30 degrees outside and I only had a sweater on cause there's no coat check at the venue. Needless to say, I was pretty fucking pissed. So then security comes out with some middle aged white dude and tries to reason with everyone who waited and I come to the forefront and go on a rant about how I froze my ass off for 12 hours to get my rightful spot in the crowd and that it was bullshit that I had to let other people in first just because they paid 45 extra dollars that I didn't have. So the guy tries to calm me down and says that it's up to the band whether they want to let the fan club members in and that he'd speak to them. It was then that I realized that I had yelled at their manager. XD

^ lmfao. xD

I did that too.
Well, not the yelling at the manager, but waiting 12 hours to get to the barrier.
But people who were members of the fan club didn't get let in first or anything |:
Actually, there was only one bunch of people that got let in before us, and that was someone in a wheelchair and their family. So they were in seating, and I was front and center.

You guys wait 12 hours to get in the front?!? Okay see...I've been front row or no farther back than 5 row (spare TOC b/c of Retta) at every Avenged show I've been to!!! And the LONGEST I've waited in line was like 3 hours because I went backstage first to meet them and then I had to exit the venue and wait in line again...Maybe its just Fargo???
In November I was outside in like the teens (F) for like 90 minutes and I got front row.
I have NO Idea when I'll get in line at Council Bluff but in Omaha in 07 I was late and didn't wait in line like at all and I still got 3rd row...do I have skills or what?!? I know I do.


Lets see crazy stories from shows...hmmm
I had two hand seizures (my hand started to seize up and spasm) in Omaha and St. Paul (the most recent time there) because of my camera.
At MCR they sprayed us with water so much that I could wring out my shirt and get wet.
At Papa Roach in 07 a guy had a seizure in the middle of the mosh pit towards the back...
At TOC in Winnipeg someone throw a bottle of mustard on stage during The Used's set and it hit Bert dead on...
wiL and Bert made out on stage that night too...that was good times.
Jared Leto crowd surfed and sang on top of the crowd at TOC in Winnipeg...

Hmmm
No one sang the start of STD in St. Paul the last time.

I bite people at my first Avenged show b/c I wanted in front of them to see 18Visions...they moved for me. LOL


Oh ho my fav story:
Backstage with Avenged (well Johnny, Zacky and Brian) and we're getting ready for the picture (which I never got, which is why I hate Q98 here) and Brian said "Gather round children" and without thinking or stopping I said "I'm not a child" and he gave me a funny look before coming to stand by me. While Zacky sat on the barricade for a minute before jumping off of it and getting ready for the picture...

At my first Avenged show, I had my camera out but I was like 8 row at the time, some guy picked me up and held me up so I could take pictures, Retta was freaking out b/c she thought he was gonna surf me.

I crowd surfed for the first time at TOC in St. Paul last year b/c these two chicks basically dared me...I did a flip mid air during that ride. (Atreyu's set)

I've seen Syn Gates walking around in a mall but my anxiety was too bad to approach him and Retta was gonna call out to him to stop him so we could talk to him (this is before Retta was a fan, so when I stopped dead coming out of Spencer's she was like "WTF"Wink but I was near tears so she didn't...I then proceeded to have the second worst panic attack I've had in my life after we lost sight of him...

Some girl put gum in this one obnoxious guy's hair at Avenged in St. Paul this last time because he elbowed her friend in the head and she fell down and they didn't pull him out of the pit, but they retreated later in the set because I lost sight of them...

Dood I just have a lot of concert stories b/c I'm always at them...lol

I'll never forget the time that Syn stole my Diet Coke. lol It was kind of funny actually. We had gone and stood by the buses because we wanted pics and stuff. And they came walking out. And I'd just pulled my Diet Coke out of my bag as Syn walked up to us. And he grabbed it out of my hands and was like, "Thanks! You're the best!" And gave me a hug and a kiss on the head. I was like, "WTF!?" lol But it was cool. Funny actually. And I've gotten to call Johnny "Short Shit" and Zacky has remembered me because of my two different colored eyes. That was the best one. Smile

well i went to the December 10th, 2008 show and like my mom kinda shuned me into the crowd when a7x came on. And so i kept getting thrusted into this dude's back. and when a7x came on, this guy with a beer stood next to me. he was like 'i won't spill this on you' and i'm like oogling the cup in fear. so when they get to scream, the guy gets knocked into me and the beer covers me and my face was literally -_-. he's like 'i'm sooo sorry!' and i was just glaring at him. i'm all like 'protect me from the mosh pit and i won't hit you.' so he did but it was sooo creepy.

I went to the March 21, 2009 concert.

Between the crews setting up Papa Roach's stuff, after Burn Halo, I was in the bathroom, and there was a lady in the stall next to me who took her booze in. She ended up dumping the cup on the floor, and my pant legs got coated in booze.

Then there were three guys near us, who were very drunk, and during the whole Papa Roach set, they were singing and slapping each others' butts.

And also, after Burn Halo, there was this girl who got really sick, and she ended up vomiting on the pit floor; it was quite nasty, and everyone in the seats went, "Ohhhhhhh!"

So, my first A7X concert was on February 25, and while they were playing Almost Easy at the end, this kid jumped on stage. It was pretty wicked. I saw Brian and Zack (or it might have been Johnny. I don't have the best memory of all time) laughing because of it.
According to my friend, when Matt said something about Jimmy and Jimmy stood up, some guy next to her screamed something like "REV I WANNA BANG YOU!"
Other than that, my concert was rather... boring. =/

It wasn't a concert... it was a festival and a local festival at that so nothing too crazy really. But I fainted because I'd had nothing to eat or drink all day. I got lifted over the barriers but I was wearing a miniskirt and basically everyone saw my pants. I got taken to the back stage area which is basically a load of tents behind a makeshift stage.
The "bouncer" made me sit beside a group of three guys who had played a set before and who had probably seen my pants and one gave me his water and I ended up with my head lolling onto the shoulders of the one next to me and swearing because I couldn't keep it up. Of course they found it funny! They were really goodlooking too! Crying or Very sad
I literally had to be carried around the corner where the paramedics were because my legs were so jelly like! It was quite embarassing but I got to go backstage.... even if I couldn't talk to any of them because I couldn't think straight! XD

I can think of several bands whose shows I've been to stopped when something that like that hapened.
When the stretchers had to be brought in and crap like that.
Always interesting
I've had them stopped just b/c the front few rows were being crushed too bad.


At Bleeding Through, one of the openin bands' singer was too sick to sing so they literally just let whoever come up on stage and sing for them. There was this one kd, looked tiny and feeble as crap but OMC could he sing and scream the lyr8ics!!!
