I have been to dozens (ok probably more) of shows, never have I ever seen anything like this, freaking unbelievable
all artists that I have seen have stopped their show to point out to get help to someone in distressed
this guy ..nope...it just didn't seem like his fans are very important to him.
incase you're wondering Yes I had heard of him before hand a co-worker likes his music and has put it on loud speaker countless times.
and he has had other issues during this tour
it looked like there wasn't enough security..him egging everyone to move up was no help
an absolute shitshow

Like how why would he bring his kid to a crowd like that in the first place.

I'm sure he will sue like you can put a price tag on a life..
not like the child is around to sue his dad for being a dumbass to bring him

It's a horrible thing that it happened at any point, but the father should've known better & not done that & should bare the majority of the responsibility in this situation.
Large concert crowds are joke for full grown adults & no place for small children.

I brought my daughter to see the counting crows and Rusted root concerts when she was young..
never a hint of any trouble at any of their previous shows that I had been too so I felt comfortable bringing her
she was 6 for counting crows, 10 and 15 for rusted root. (this was years ago of course) she is 30 now
a few years back (pre-rona) Ice T came to out local fair for a concert.
I had seen him previously with his group Body Count..
I went with my oldest son and his girl (in their 30s) the place was packed
he comes out starts his rap...people start walking out with their kids
I was rolling, shit he was rolling
says over the mic wtf you think Tutuola (his character on law and order) was gonna come out and solve a crime?
i about lost it hell we all were rolling
he still put on a great show
just wasn't a place for a child

VSW, post: 59290, member: 24 Wrote:Yeah, & even adults in concert crowds have to be careful too.
Large crowds equals a tremendous amount of weight, & with that many people packed into together it doesn't take much to knock them off balance.
Cause a small portion of a crowd to stumble, or run, or fall, & you have a domino effect.
So yeah bringing small kids is a risk.

I'm way too old for that nonsense LOL
these days my moto is , buy lawn seats, upgrade night of the show,all and all generally about 50/60 bucks per ticket and pretty good seats
..yes seats. I also don't drink at the shows at my age I like to remember them now also too damned expensive
I saw Korn a month or so ago freaking I can't remember 5 or 6 dollars for a damn can of water ..water

VSW, post: 59436, member: 24 Wrote:Wow lol, I never went to a concert before. I'm not into crowds.
OMG Just think if you have to pee lol.

But that movie Jenifer's body really turned me off to the concert thing too.
Thousands of people squished together trying to get out. Not something I wanna experience ya know.

(this is just me mind you)
at the begining as a teen the venue was in the next town around 15 dollars a ticket
Kiss,heart,inxs,the cars,
anywho
so going was pretty easy. go get high have a few drinks whatever don't remember the show no big woop

now that ticket prices are pretty nuts.
so being older and appreciating music more I pretty much stay sober "shrugs"
I like to remember the shows
