SING Fest

[Narcoleptia]

satch i love your pictures!!! I believe we might have bumped into each other in front at the photographers' stand. =]

 

[dhalif]

actually, when someone bodysurfs out of the barricades, it's the norm for the security to ask them to go to the back again. lol.

btw, it's Carmen here. =D

 

[kerplunk182]

lol. what happened vick ?

hahaha. You can ask Gerald. But i'll tell you online if you wanna know the whole story...

 

[satch]

Narcoleptia : hey dude, i was the only guy there with long hair. and yourself?

 

[danilo]

I was one of those in front in the press box when the barricades fell, and it wasn't funny at all. People will stacked on top of each other and some legs were caught in the fallen barricade. Girls were crying and stuff.

They could have been wounded seriously if the band continued playing. (u guys at the back had no idea)

Organisers should have taken proper measures and prepare for fierce moshing.

Other than that the gig rocked =)

 

[BrainFailure]

agreed
the barricades used at singfest worried me.
they should've put the more former ones for fiece moshing.

 

[lurgee]

ah..danilo..glad you knew about the situation.
some girl did get her leg stuck and i think it was badly injured. it was stuck and people were still stepping on the barricade crushing her leg further and we had to push everyone back before we could get her out..and yes..lots of girls were crying as well.

as for the barricades, i was told that the organisers did secure much better ones which would hold but apparently some council decided to retreive it back and use it for NDP around the esplanade area or something! wtf man. who would mosh at NDP?!

 

[kerplunk182]

the crowd at the sides are always less active as compared to the centre...

 

[AEnimic]

^ lurgee, who knows? Mr President might just start playing Raining Blood.

well,it's probably due to security, having better barricade there..because there might be a mob trying to spoil the parade.

 

[cheesegrater]

better barricades?

if the barricades were firmer they would have suffocated to death.

People would still be pushing!
i think they should have started the circle before they came on..

 

[fallenfantasy]

i was at the second row that day..
and when the barricade collapsed , me and my friends fell and crushed the poor girl in front of us. Managed to get 2 pretty shots of a7x up front though. They were THE BOMB. Seems like most of the people went for them, including me.

 

[Narcoleptia]

satch: long hair and specs issit? i know who

i'm the short girl with a small camera wearing black vest =x

nice to meet u, hah

 

[pedialite]

I was in camo 3/4s doing windmills \m/

 

[pfft]

is satch the guy standing in front with long hair?? hey if that is you i might have been the guy standing next to you at A7X's set the guy with specs and semi-ish long hair wearing the Avenged Sevenfold shirt we headbanged together during their set haha

 

[bockscar]

i wasnt there,

but during the muse @ FCP. i was right in front. squashed like a sardine

i think the moshing wont really kill. but when hundreds are pushing, everyone was swaying. if you fall = pray that someone picks you up

 

[kerplunk182]

my friend and i were moshing during one buck short's set and she fell halfway and 3 grown men stacked on top of her. For the rest of the gig till the academy is... she complain that her foot hurt cause someone probably stepped on her foot really hard and when i met her the next day, her toe nail was broken andit was bleeding

 

[emochick]

all i can say is that if you want to be in the mosh, then prepare for whatever's to come. can't complain about anybody cause you chose to be in the pit. lol.

as for me, i enjoyed falling down and being trampled on during A7X's set. heh.

 

[pedialite]

most people there were pretty cool about moshing :/ those freaking fangirls screamed so damn loud.. urgh.

actually, for the problem with the people getting squashed in the front, blame the slippery slope and those idiot non-moshers who push the people moshing to the front.. we all fell and got piled up. Lucky we were all there to have fun and picked each other up. I can't believe people who go to a rock concert and expect everyone to stand still.

oh yea, during mxpx some dude in a blue shirt got picked out by two security guards for crowd surfing. I mean, whats up with that man? the guards literally walked into the pit and shit..

 

[BrainFailure]

ha,the mxpx moshing part really made me @.@
just didnt get why the security pulled the body surfing ppl out....

 

[crazywoman]

these 'horror' stories make me feel kinda glad I was banned from going by the parents.

but I'm still sad.
