What a gig!! Just one big moshpit from start to finish with no secruity around by us to spoil our fun. Came out drenched in sweat and have a load of bruises. The crowd was great, just aload of people really into the music. The asshole ratio was pretty low, although I did get hit with a converse near the end of the gig

Not even calling last night the greatest gig even comes close to how amazing it was. It was my second time seeing Rage, and my god, it was so much better than Oxegen! We got TWO SPEECHES! Tears were shed repeatedly and frequently just by the pure beauty of their music.
Myself and a friend were a bit worried (more so him, I was hellbent on getting downstairs) that because we had seated tickets, that we wouldn't get downstairs. They scanned the tickets... And we just walked in. xD Managed to get the the barricade (Tim's side) for the night. Cept I decided to go moshing for the Gallows (which I thought were absolutely amazing!). And the wall of death. ^_^ But I managed to get back up for Gogol. They were better than I thought! I had started to recently listen to them, and I like them. But wow! What a crowd mover! And SOMEHOW, the security guard after Gogol came over to me and asked was I into them? I said yeah, and he gave me the only plec that fell off the stage. They use Jim Dunlop .88s!
When I heard the Guantanamo Siren, the chills went down my spine. It was just... Amazing. And then the ever classic "Good evening, we are Rage Against The Machine from Los Angelos California!" with the Testify intro. :') After Testify, I couldn't move at the front anymore, so I went back to spend the rest of the night moshing. Shockingly near the beginning, I saw very few pits despite my efforts. But then myself and another guy (I didn't catch his name) co-ordinated most of the larger pits towards the center. Pretty badly injured, but well worth it.jack presley wrote: »Was it a longer set than the one in London?
Without a doubt!Oh and I ran into MrPirate holding a shoe at the very end, which was cool
I actually never found the guy who owned that shoe. >_<
And thanks for saying hello!

Thanks for being who you said you were and not some creepy auld lad!
Whatcha do with the shoe in the end?
Haha, no problem!
Well I kept walking around with it, looking for the dude who owned it (Despite talking to him minutes before, I couldn't remember what he looked like. ) so I asked one of the security people about a lost and found, and they said it was by the box office. So I made my way there to be told that there was no lost and found. <_< So I left the shoe near one of the entrances next to another shoe on the wall of the box office. :PSounds like you enjoyed yourself pretty well MrPirate :pac:
I didn't see any che shirts though.
My voice is completely gone today, but then I did see them just last Thursday at rock im park, it's quite frustrating watching back the vids and not being able to sing along :mad:
Oh my yes. ^_^ Did you not? I was in the pit all night. Perhaps you were in the cue early enough to hear the chants of Spongebob/Pokemon/Bohemian Rhapsody, etc? Because that was us too. xD0 -

Oh hell yes
If you saw me after you wouldn't ask!
Tbh though people said that was intense, it was more intense in Nuremberg for me, got so many injuries at it there, still hurts to laugh. It was my 3rd time to see them and every time was mental, they're so good live.
No I was kinda lazy, got there in the middle of Gallows, sure didn't matter anyway, still got very near.
I lost my camera though, rang today just on the off chance it lived, no luck.0 -

That was seriously one of the best gigs I've ever been to and thats saying something!
I didn't think I'd be able to hack the moshing and was going to move towards the back but by the second song I was in the moshpit, hair wringing wet and had the biggest smile on my face! Couldn't hack the pit for too long but somehow kept finding myself in it more than once, laughing my head off the whole time!
Counting the war wounds this morning was something else though, jesus! Although that was nothing in comparison to the lads with the broken noses! And fair play to you guys who had an exam to sit this morning, I don't know how you did it!!
BTW sorry to all those in the que for the luas for jumping the barrier, after that performance I was feeling slightly... rebellious. :P0 -

Mighty gig the other night, one of the best in years for me.
In my thirties but couldn't resist the urge to get up front and get stuck stuck in. Great crowd
Funny moment though was during a break in songs when about 10 people were all on the ground with lighters looking for a wedding ring in the middle of all the chaos..... glad to read here he found it.
Some reviews here, don't know what gig the Herald journalist Chris Wasser was at, must have been too busy making notes to actually review the gig.

Epic gig, but probably the best story I have from the night (if just for the oddity that it is) has to involve a random guy near me during Wake Up. I'd say he was never as happy to hear Zack giving a long political speech, because pretty much the whole way through said speech, and the consequently quietened song, the poor guy was crawling around on the ground looking for his wedding ring which had fallen off. About 5 seconds before Zack finished, and the music (and hence the crowd!) picked up, he found it, and thus managed to be back on his feet before everyone went mental again.
It sucked for him to lose it in the first place, and I really felt for the guy, but he has to be one of the luckiest SOBs ever to find it again at all on the floor within 15 rows of the front at an RATM concert, let alone for it to be timed like that!
Ha ha classic .... i am said lucky SOB and yes that was far too intense an experience to have to handle when pissed up and rockin' out to RATM,goes without saying i had an amazing nite .... and i'm still married WOO HOO!!! 0 -

Haha, I was in college with that guy. Don't want to slander anyone so let's just say 'strange fish' who hung out with even stranger ones. What a pile of cock that 'review' is. Sound's like he wasn't even there. 0 -

Best.Gig.Ever. Was at the barrier for the whole thing, from start to finish, I've never been so squished in my whole life, 2 days on and I still can't breathe with the pain. My friend was only 14 and it was her first time ever in a mosh pit, she did so well to last the night, I think we were the only girls in the first few rows who didn't get pulled out.
I' still in shock, I honestly can't believe how good it was, ****ing loved the Gallows(caught the bassists water bottle lol) and Gogol Bordello were amazing but nothing could come close to Rage.0 -
