I was in the pit on friday night right near the pole that guy climbed right up the top. Seemed like a massive oversight by security..had they never done a metal gig before? I'm sure its happened many times before, I hope someone got fired because of it.
Also those fuckhead security guards up the front, obviously they were told to push crowd surfers back into the crowd, but their number 1 priority should be to protect the crowd not the fucking band. Some crowd surfers were actually just trying to get down, pulled down by security like every other gig but they kept pushing them back into the crowd. Needless to say it got a bit tedious and I had to drag a few crowd surfers down, there is a time and a place for crowd surfing and that wasn't it. The whole pit was pretty weak in my opinion, but i guess it is a Metallica gig.... Also, stop fucking jumping up and down you fuckheads. /end rant
