HARD fails...alot these days

[dnvr4life]

[xfp21]

Nitrus is a fucking joke!!! This year's HHM is $100 for two days= 2 stages!?!? $250 for 2-day VIP??? What a fucking rip off!!! EDC was cheaper than that and you got way more stages, not to mention free rides! Shows how fucking greedy Nitrus is!!!

[chaikaew]

HARDBUST 2009

[SordidClot]

JUSTICE! 2 many Djs! DEADMAU5! still going to Hard HAunted! cant miss a line up that good! dumb fuks jumping down from the balcony to the floor! stupid fukin E tards!!!!

[Feelthefx]

Cali raves are just too big. the seattle scene is better in my opinion

[katalyst96]

haha wtf are u saying, when its big it needs to be in a big venue this venue was WAY to small, way better out here, maybe in seatttle theres way less beaners tho, so u got that

[chaikaew]

yeah because everyone knows that seattle knows how to party (sarcastic)

[Brianjerkin]

FUK HARD i was fuKn pist

[Furby511]

Ugh boogeyman..

I feel your pain and dissapointment :/

I only got to dance like 30 mins.

They took away my bandana, they staff never gave me my stub back from the ticket and told me to move on, and thus me not getting a refund...

Fuck Hard :'(

[PimpCitySolider]

FUCK YOU BRO

Get a life instead of hating on everyone for LIVING THERES

DROP TO LIVE

[pitote89]

only stupid ass dumb ass hipster ravers would do some shit like this!! ravers are retarded!! just overdose on your E and die you pieces of shit!! =]

[tudm91]

Lmao your an asshole.

Not all ravers roll.

I don't approve of the drug, I go for the music.

[Led0Zeppelin0]

FUCK MM09

Haunted Mansion is still going to SELL OUT and be the shit!

Who is seriously going to miss deadmau5, justice, crookers, major lazer?

IM NOT, SHRINE FTW

[BoogeymanPLUR]

Awesome please goto Hard Haunted Mansion. It will leave us more room to enjoy ourselves at MM :)

Although I do agree the lineup is pretty sick for Haunted

[Led0Zeppelin0]

HARD = ELECTRO :D

MM = TRANCE/PROG D:

LOL. We will all have fun, thats all that matters

[asianbumz]

youre a good commentator when youre rolling.. hook it up with a show though

[BoogeymanPLUR]

Haha anytime just catch me at a rave

[asianbumz]

haha! for sure.. hopefully i make it to monster.. its going to be epicc.

[cityzengirl]

My boy and i were stuck up in a seat from 10pm til midnite-ish when the riot police came and kicked us all out. boooooo

[xfp21]

DON'T GO TO HARD HAUNTED MANSION!!!!

[BoogeymanPLUR]

Actually I Kinda want people to goto Haunted Mansion now because I don't want Monster Massive to be overcrowded =P

GOTO Haunted Mansion!

[xfp21]

Haha, I feel ya!

[boonsandra]

hated that shit. parking lot was pretty alright though. haha

[ohjesusbresus]

HOLY FUCK. this sucks, HHM would have been fucking epic too.

[mlehew52]

fuck hard haunted now. monster massive.

[MrZiggytheniggy]

fucking happy i didnt waste my money on that .. man that fucking sucksssss..

[thelumbahjack]

PARTY IN THE PARKING LOT WAS THE SHIIIIIT! lol!!!!

i saw this guy interviewing ppl and im looking for that vid right now

[n0lst3r]

ya let me know if you find those vids we hosted a dance party at a truck and he came over and said we where going to "make front page"

[littlemissparanoid]

yeah party in the parkin lot!!

[itsjustinleon]

This is why I hate going to any shows at sports arenas. Good music should be in clubs, bars and smaller concert halls.

Also the idiot promoters had the genius idea of having a gen admission show to a venue that has seats!

[XYZakiAM]

Really lame how they broke up the parking lot rave.

[c3tr4]

Nothing like a show called "HARD" that doesn't have Hardcore or Hardstyle music.. Nothing Hard at all about it, that shows you how smart the promoters are. Idiots.

[idontknough]

HARD DANCE NATION was actually going on on the same day. But I doubt Hardstyle fans didn't mistake the two and HARD Summer... did they?

[JohnnyExtremer]

Hard Summer with no Hardstyle? That's why it got shut down .

[walkingtrash]

slap yourself

[hannuhlolzz]

i was there, fuck hard.

[AnnaOjification]

Haha. "Fucking hipsters ruining EVERYTHING."

[Baker1203]

that blows it got shut down but hey out side raves are the way to go

[kagenooni]

Worst event ever in the history of raving?

I've been at a party where I have had an M4 shoved in my face. As for Hard not announcing anything, it was still at the event, give them a fucking day.

Also, majority of the time a rave has shit like this happen, its becuase those at the party all think that the rules dont apply to them, and they get shut down because of a few idiot kids. I work on the back end of things, I know how this shit really goes.

[BoogeymanPLUR]

Really it wasn't the worst event ever? No shit Sherlock, but I bet it was indicative of how everyone there felt. Give them a day? Obviously this video was shot impromptu, so emotions are high.

Since ur involved in the 'back end', you know that it does not behoove anyone to blame everything on the attendees.

That's like admitting you have no control.

Hard should take a look at what happened & learn from the mistakes. Sure the crowd wasn't innocent, but don't use them as a scapegoat.

[kagenooni]

You know that it really doesnt help when kids disobey people throwing the party and get rowdy over it? We admit fault when we fuck up, but when the crowd doesnt listen and everyone thinks that they are exempt from the rules, then we have issues. From what I could tell from the videos, I'm glad I didnt have to work there that night.

This event actually is better than most others, becuase you're getting refunded on your tickets.

[hkremixboy]

i was in the underground party in LA,lol

[SwiftChiTown]

I went with my girl MoLLy... we still had a blast... just went to boardners in Hollywood instead.. FUN!

[izzfizz7]

so this is what i heard and why the event was fucked to begin with... the LA forum is owned by a church and they found out a rave was happening and didn't want that kind of "scene" (i thought they weren't suppose to judge people? hmm weird) and since HARD was already established for summerfest and already paid in full they handed out too many tickets and oversold the event so they knew it would be a hazard and shut down... don't know this for certain but it makes sense.

[epid3mic]

sounds like bullshit to me, raves are thrown at the forum several times a year and have been for years. it looks like it was just oversold. take a high profile event and add 15,000 rich kids on drugs and of course the police are going to try and find any excuse to shut it down.

i didn't go and im glad i ended up missing this, but something like this was bound to happen. massives have progressively been getting more and more crowded with more and more people who don't belong.

[trooperTLY3Dc]

raves are RARELY thrown at the forum. get your facts straight or go back to plurlife.

[uknown]

Hard = FAIL.

[japaniskool]

I looove how you are documenting this! LOL using all those big words! xD I was there too the guards managed to scare the shit out of me by saying thatt people were killing themselves as they jumped...YOU JUST DON'T say that to someone rolling hard you just DON'T!! :(

[BoogeymanPLUR]

Haha thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

I was waiting for the music to get my roll on...there's no way I would've done this completely sober lol

[specialspencer]

haha that is so tru lol

[PeaceFrenchy]

duude;; it was wack because it was in the forum, other than that it's not the worst event!! They always have a pretty sick lineup! And if they changed it back to the shrine, that will be AWESOME!

[BabyJoker323]

WOW HARD...WASNT CRACKiiN GLAD ii COULDNT MAKE iiT iiT WAS TOO EXPENSiiVE EDC WAS THEE BEST HTIS YEAR SO FAR

[XHig005X]

hahaha fail. u guys should have rushed the fucking pigs, it was like thousands vs like 20 pigs in front of the stage

[eleros1]

everybody was rolling rolling people isnt violent XD

[alexcar69sti]

But the pigs had guns!

[fitshuck]

wow i was sitting at the very top kinda right where you shot the video from

hard was bullshit, but the adventurer hotel was poppin and ive been on a binge since the rave got broken up.

[eleros1]

i met a bunch of australians that only went to the us for hard fest!! and fuck HARD FEST!!

altought the CAR FEST where fun!

[rudebwoOy]

welcome to america lol

[SSiadat187]

FUcking whach ass shit... i was right on the side where the riot police came in and started throwing shit at them. FUCK HARDDDDDD!

[groovyantwuan]

dumbasses cant fucken listen for shit

[FlashDC17]

haha hollywood park =)

[mattasaurussss]

AGHHHHH that was so lame were never gonna get to see those djs in ca

[kessler9]

HARD WAS SOFT!

[burritobiatch]

looks shitty. I'm still going to hard haunted though. monster massive was a pretty shitty rave last year and hard has a better lineup so far

[BoogeymanPLUR]

What happened at Monster Massive last year?

[blairness1231]

Fuuuuuuucking whack ass night. Jack Beats got down though, even though they shut off the Underground. Hard events now have such a bad name to me.

[randizzlebaybee]

UGH i was

so pissed-_-

[alfarog]

this really makes me cosider going to monster massive instead of hard haunted, even if deadmau5 is gonna be there

[heyallitzferny]

destructo fuckedup by selling too many tickets. ticket prices to being with were expensive as hell. EDC was less expensive and that siht was LOADED with djs and performers. fuck hard. hard is to blame. along with the people who rushed and tried to get in for free. the reason people were hopping the rail was because of the overselling. the forum couldnt accomadate all the pepole. money hungry destructo fuck you gary richards!

[Justin4RonPaul]

yeah hard sucked hard, EDC fucking was great, huge line up, cheap tickets, great time~

[23monarca23]

the shit that tikked me off was the assholes that threw water bottles at the cops since i was in the front i almost got hit twice it was good while it lasted but tommorow im off to get my refund.

[Vi3tKid420]

i wouldnt say poor planning, nor is it the lapd's fault. Its dumb fucking cheap ass kids that ruin raves, make it over capacity, and cause shit like this to happen. If you cant afford to go, then dont ruin it for others.

[lunadaisy223]

how is it the promoters fault when people rush the fences/gates outside? just curious ...

[rayvnluv]

I'm so glad I did not go! You do not sell out the forum seatibng area to a DANCE venue! Stick to the Shrine, and only sell enough for people on the floor general admission!

[ignaciosolorio]

its not the promoters fault.

Its the peoples

[hiphopdontloveu]

Some of it was the peoples... people were hopping over the front row barriers to get to the mainfloor and that was NOT cool... not to mention the hundreds of people bombrushing the fences in front. and the people kickin doors in pushing people down the aisles. it was just really fucked up, all around. DestructoHARD at #1 fault, then the immature people 2nd.

[dunzopookie]

the promoters really fckd

this one up. yeah profits are

fukn important..but tell me,

would you rather have a succesful

event;something to be proud of

and have under your belt or having

a failed event and be questioned

by your own got damn selfish ambitions?

REFUND PLEASE.!

[hiphopdontloveu]

promoters get too greedy... according to the Hard website, refunds will be given... but to which people? some people may have bought it in quantities at the beginning and slanged them at retail... i dunno.... this shit is a mess. JUJUBEATS tops 09 parties. straight up.

[hiphopdontloveu]

I agree... that shit was HELLA WHACK... luckily i didn't wait in line or pay for a ticket, and i left before this shit got crazy at 11... this goes to show how bad the scene has gotten. Naughty promoters.

[LouisBurdet]

Good video capturing the action and what went down.

Holy shit, what a downer.

Now to decide weather or not to risk it at HARD HAUNTED. :/

[Vi3tKid420]

this is why i fucking hate cheap ass kids that hop gates and sneak into raves.. this is what happens, they fuck the raves up, gets too over crowded, now look what happens. i dont know why people all chanting them to run in, then next thing u know its your mony going down the drain.

[hiphopdontloveu]

yup i agree :)

[readymadefilmfest]

Ha ha! Like the video. Its not ironic that the last time we saw this happen was just over 10 years ago with 1997 NYE in 7th Heaven event by CPU 101 at the Grand Olympic Auditorium. Even the ravers dancing in the parking lot reminds me of that night. CPU 101, after years of doing great parties, was never to through another party in Los Angeles and now the Grand Olympic Auditorium is a Korean Church. hmmm....

[rForsstrom]

HardFest website now states the Hard Haunted Mansion venue "TBA" I think they've lost their Forum privileges. Thanks for nothing HardFest!

[daturamodena123]

fuck!!!

i bought my hard haunted ticket already way in advance!!!!

i think im gonna risk it!!

hopefully they host haunted at the shrine!!!

not niggerwood!!!

[Thizzlol]

Dude that was some Bullshit last night we ended up at the sizzler across the street, and this old black dude rolls up in his jag talking all kind of noise. fucked around and got his door kicked in. lol what was more funny was when popped open his trunk and everyone their blitz the fuck out including myself. I didnt want to be around to see if he was bluffing...

Also does anyone know if we are in fact getting our refund?

[kid3mg]

Im not down with the whole plur crap and the only kool thing about raves is that they have DnB!

[skimaskready]

hah so you got to listen to music on the way to the forum then outside the forum, thats fucked

[lolocaust15]

LOL. Owned.

This is what happens when you go to terrible raves.

So how ward HARD? Oh wait...

[lawlitssoo1n]

it wasn't a terrible rave. if it wasn't for the fucking retarded people who jumped off the stairs dumbasses

[PimpCitySolider]

DAmn and I was goin to Hard Haunted wat is this bull shit

[blue46gt]

Criminal racketeering by the LAPD and poor planning by HARD led to the closure of this event. Boycott HARD and boycott the LAPD.

[themexicankillr]

ur a fool!! ppl like u r ruining the scene!! FUCK OFF!!! im so not even gonna be PLUR to that shti..... dude omg naw im not even gonna say anything

[charlie8492]

True true. but its actually Inglewood PD. not LAPD

[BoogeymanPLUR]

I wouldn't blame the LAPD or the Inglewood PD. They were doing their jobs. It was the overselling of an event and poor planning that got it shut down.

There were way too many people, poorly marked signs, uninformed staff, and poor crowd management after-the-fact.

The only reason things didn't escalate and get violent was because of the job done by the Inglewood PD.

[hiphopdontloveu]

totally true. everyone wants to blame the authorities... its the poor planning of Destructo. In my 8 years in and out of the scene, I have NEVER seen such a poorly organized venue+party.

[trooperTLY3Dc]

its people like you who loiter in the parking lot, and sit around & dance in the parking lot when the party is over that give the "rave scene" a bad name. go back to dANCE & the heist & leave parties alone.

[BoogeymanPLUR]

When you promise people something, and they spend their hard-earned money, and sacifice their valuable saturday night in the SUMMER, they will try to find a way to have fun.

All it was was dancing. It's not like we were violent.

It's people like us who help the 'rave scene' to live on.

[trooperTLY3Dc]

wrong. it's rowdy, drugged out individuals who decide to jump 20 feet off the balcony onto the floor just to be there, that fucking ruin it.

you wanna go to a real rave? not some electro club dANCE bullshit? it's not going to be at the forum.. it's going to be in some grungy warehouse in east LA. that's what's up. not this stupid mainstream crystal castles nonsense.

[radmadchad]

seriously FUCK HARD SUMMER.. grr

[SordidClot]

we are getting a refund its says so on the website

[dieselboy2006]

Please Boycott all HARD Events with me...they r hella shady and had this coming for a while now....heard that at HARD Summer they were taking the tops off the bottles of water, so they could sell more and the drinking fountains were turned off and a bunch of other crap.

[pshoom]

hahahahaha party in the parking lot. <3

i'm thanking my overly paranoid mother right now.

[glarus26]

haha so lame. but what do u expect from a "all ages" rave show. make it in a smaller arena and 21+ and this would never happen. i went to hard halloween last year and the even was oversold also.

[SDAxALLxDAY]

but then i cant go :(

[JunglistJon]

i knew sh*t was going to go down at this party which is why i didnt go. after selling out their past 4 shows they decide to throw it at the Forum? Bad Idea. I think they could fill up the Coliseum. Or maybe they should throw a room at Monster Massive or Nocturnal. that would be ill. Hard throws some sick ass parties they just threw a strike with this one.

[G0D666]

hahahahaha what a bean..."more better"

[vrona]

the ORGANIZERS are blaming the POLICE "to their astonishment" for shutting this down. The ORGANIZERS being GREEDY & OVERSELLING SHUT THE PARTY DOWN. BOYCOT HARD, NITRUS, and ask how much the Dj's had to do with putting this together. Dj Destructo ? They make this happen . Dance party with 30% of space for dancing and they wonder why people won't sit. Just GREED.

[suger4999]

biggest bulshit night of my life. FUCK NITRUS PRODUCTIONS. NEVER GOING TO ONE OF THEIR FUCKIN EVENTS AGAIN.

[DaShizIsBananas]

why does everybody think HARD is a rave?? why the fuck would crystal castles be at a rave??

[laalex98]

Electronic music is Electronic music Pendulum and Crystal Castles are considered "DJs"

[onlyredsplease]

amazing, I was there and it was going to be a great show. all I know is vip area went from empty to full in <1 minute so I knew something was up. just awful, what a major drag.

[jlushing]

Destructo is fcking stupid, they should have capped it at 15k which is what was supposed to happen.. money grubbing fcks

[fpdlt11]

wow man, im sorry for your time being stolen from you by HARD. great video, fuck hard

[RockTheAcid]

The parkinglot stuff makes me happy. Seeing people party no mather what.

[DELUDE07]

damn, this tops it off, EVEN worse then my experience two years ago at POPSICLE 2008 last year when it was shut down 2 hours early on Tiestos set.  i almost went to this one, thank god i didnt, great vid on the unfortunate event.

[stacyv06]

that's the first thing i thought of, but this is wayyyyy worse! at least with pop, people cooperated and we knew the reason it stopped wasn't because people like ourselves fucked it up for everyone. i don't get it. everyone has the same intention. to go, dance, party, and have a good time, why the hell would you do something to fuck it up.
