RAGE AGAINST THE WALL !!!

[NevenSalom]

I just found out that this gig took place because of the X Factor versus Rage Against The Machine thing going on... And I must say, by watching this video...

A sincere apology to any members of staff that were injured in this incident...

And also, a sincere congratulations to the determination and will of Rage Against The Machine fans.

If the words "Epic" and "Winning" were put together for a special occasion, this would definitely be it!

hi brother with all due respect I tried to get the ticket online in that lottery thing they did but thanks to my shitty internet connection I couldnt. I'm truly sorry you broke your leg that day but shit happens that coulda happened crossing the road or in a very idiotic way, so you should be proud that at least it was in a great occasion like that concert. Im actually proud I managed to break into this concert just as you should of being part of that great day of our generation.

@northernsaint1 ...and furthermore, yes, indirectly the fence jumpers DID break my leg. I have been to plenty of gigs with twice the amount of people there, without a problem. Yes I have fallen in a crowd before, big whoop. BUT, because we were packed in like sardines near the front, I was unable to lever my weight against the oncoming crowd members, who fell on my leg. (You do the math, it got a LOT more packed where I was after the 3rd/4th song...Kinda coincides with people breaking in, no?)

@northernsaint1 Let me make things clear, I was actually on the outskirts of the Moshpit. All I had were people jumping up and down near me. Its not about 'manning up' at all. Why should I get up early to try to get my ticket early when arseholes, who probably aren't even true Rage fans, and who probably never bought the single anyhow, decide too just break in and compromise safety?

@Tankgh nah that guard was a pussy man,

@Michaelk1084 I'm sorry you were hurt but seriously, man up! Gigs are dangerous places and moshpits even more so! If you don't want to put yourself at risk then DON'T GO. There was plenty of places you could've stood that weren't moshpits... People have died at Rage gigs in the past and if you're going to go and see them, you should know that and know that it will be crazy. It was people with tickets who most likely broke your leg. It must've been bloody horrible but these things happen

@Tankgh Ooh sorry grandad.

@moores2525 - we all opened the gates on police say so before a full riot happened and the gig got cancelled. And if the gig was half full when you got in you were at another gig mate.
