Yes. Ole Joel just jumped into the crowd. :) haha! Thankfully, he didn't come my way as I am positive I would have dropped him. Remember the video for Festival Song and he jumps into the crowd and someone grabs him in the butt? Hahaha! I bet he was surprised!!!! ;) Gotta watch out for the butt grabbers. ;)
One of the shows here in Ohio a long time ago, Joel jumped into the crowd and when he made it back to the stage he announced that someone had grabbed his butt and stolen his wallet.
About 3 minutes later, someone threw his wallet on the stage.
At this one show I went to..the only time I was in a mosh pit of that proportion, people were passing steel chairs overhead. That was really scarey because you never knew when one was coming your way. I hated it!!! I do NOT like mosh pits. The crowd surfing at the DEWS tour was all guys and dangerous. And when I say dangerous..I truly mean it.
I remember when Joel jumped into the crowd in Portland Maine at a show. When he finally made it back in stage, he held up his arm and said," hey, somebody scratched me!!!" Then he laughed and told the Moms in the crowd not to worry as he was "clean". He had just been tested. I wouldn't have scratched him if I'd gotten hold of him but I would have grabbed his butt!!! LOL!!!
I was at the 2008 Taste of Chaos in Lowell Mass. I started out up against the barricade but after the first three bands I was exhausted and had to move further back in the crowd. I really wanted to see Bullet for my Valentine and Avenged Sevenfold up close but I knew I wouldn't make it. I was bummed. I'm going to this years Taste of Chaos next month!! "Bring me the Horizon" is playing!! I'm psyched.
I hope you get to make those shows. Sounds exciting. :) I'm waiting for GC to head back to Maryland. :) Got to get there early and wait outside and do all that fun stuff. :)
