Are you fucking kidding me? Good on him. Fuck whoever wrote this article.

Good for him for stopping the show. I’m not familiar with their fan base and how their shows are, but there is nothing more dangerous and scary then people who disregard pit etiquette.

I've been to a couple of their shows back in the day. It felt like their crowd at Warped Tour was well behaved but I kinda get the vibe its because the overall crowd at that tour had a lot of people who were there for other bands where you HAD to have good pit etiquette and that bled over. When I saw him on his solo tour more recently he actually walked off stage before the set even started because the crowd wouldn't stop surging forward. That time the crowd was a lot more of the teenage part of the fanbase and they did NOT know how to behave.

He was literally saving lives, gtfo with your whining about how he was 'spoiling the moment', Kerrang!

Kerrang! Is trash. I remember Hayley from Paramore being super upset about a sexist article they wrote about her when she was just 18 they nasty
