And besides, the second guy, the one that got kicked, didn't land on any pedals from what i remember. The guitar player just flat out kicked him. And the other thing he did was 100% uncalled for. These guys were very unprofessional in their performance and they can go to hell! I stand by my initial opinions.

Seeing as it is a metal show, I don't really see why you're so surprised that he punched and kicked two guys. If you're crowd surfing, you shouldn't expect to be treated nicely.

Also, I'm not sure what all of the hate for Doomriders is. They really are quite a fantastic band. Granted, I haven't seen them live, but everyone that I've met that have seen them said that they just put on a fantastic, heavy and loud show.

I don't get surprised to see people get punched and kicked at metal shows, i just get surprised when the actual band does it to their fans.

True, they did sound great. I'm not saying their music sucks, I'm saying they suck as people.

Yeah dude I saw you get landed on. I got kicked a few times. And some girl was throwing punches behind me too! She'd get super into it and fuckin start punching.

those guys that got on stage got wrecked

You're still a jackass, and I agree with jotun's response to you.

Both times people got kicked/punched were because they caused problems for the band while trying to perform.

I'm hoping Addi is correct here, and I assume he is, because Doomriders are actually a pretty awesome upcoming band in my book. They make awesome music - I hope they aren't the tools that they may seem to have been to RJ and Andrew. Remember there are always (at least) two sides to every story, guys. Here's hoping Doomriders aren't peckerheads and keep on releasing kickass stoner / doom music!

Yeah i know. I always say that amongst my friends. I guess it doesn't have the same effect here on metalsetlists.

One of my good friends went to a show with both of them playing and said that it was hands down, the best show he's ever been to.
