A group of hardcore kids rushed the stage in Salt Lake City to fight BMTH. This was at at In The Venue/Club Sound. It started when the concert goers threw water bottles at Oli, he threw water right back and called them pussies so 20-30 rushed the stage to throwdown. Only a few made it up but the rest started fights in the crowd. The guitarist on stage right brought his guitar down on the head of one of the attackers.
The band quickly left the stage and the whole group of attackers ran out the side door towards the buses. There were several fights that night and a couple guys totally knocked out. It was too much for security to handle, but they hardly made an effort to stop any of the multiple fights that went on earlier in the night.
After 30ish minutes, BMTH returned and played a short set.
It was totally unreal...as is Parkway Drive.
UPDATE- Some news sites are reporting that Oli "cleared some rumors" by saying the show stopped because someone was getting their head stomped. The stomping came after the show stopped. I was standing directly behind the guy who threw the bottle at Oli while he was on the barricade with the crowd. I saw Oli and Jona give the guy the finger and the guy kept egging them on and that was why the show stopped.
The audio is proof. Oli says nothing about helping an injured fan or anything like that, he just told the hardcore "faggots" and "pussies" to get out and go home if they don't like the band.
Not a huge deal, it just didn't go down the way Oli is suggesting. If I had pulled my camera out 30 seconds sooner that would have been apparent.
@jokerxcore If you stomp them you're a fucking d-bag, and an idiot. People have died, because of people like you.....
