Brixtin (o2) Academy
|
|
A gig had to be cut short less than halfway through last night because of crowd problems outside. Seems that up to 1000 people tried to get in without tickets causing 4 people to sustain critical injury.
Iv'e been to that venue dozens of times aling with Hammersmith, The Roundhouse, Town & Country club etc and notseen anything of this nature. But then Iv'e never been to a Rap concert.

And security who take cash bribes to let people in so the venue goes over capacity and dangerously overcrowded.
And venue owners not having adequate quantity and quality of security staff in place.

Just been informed that the gig we are due to go to in April has been moved to Wembley arena as the Brixton Academy is temporarily closed.
Not sure what closing the gaff is going to achieve, pretty much a one off when those two poor souls died?
Thanks hip hop cunts!

Not ‘her job’, ‘their job’.

Wasn’t a rap gig - it was Afro pop
Happened before with a similar artist apparently
The security at Brixton know what they’re doing - what happened was extraordinary circumstances- rip to the poor part time sec guard that died doing her job

Given that the BBC sees itself as a core part of the entertainments business, it's only natural that it tries to point the finger of blame elsewhere, lest somebody has a quick peek under Auntie's skirts and finds more "Jimmy Savile" strength wrong-doings in it's midst.

67.
Loads of footage out there that demonstrates where the blame lies for this clusterfuck that has so far cost 2 young women their lives.
It certainly isnt the police or staff at the venue.

Same for Happy Mondays and I think Armand Van Heldon and Fatboy Slim.
There was a boxing ring in the middle with them and some decks in it.
Fuck knows. Drugs init.

I was at that Beastie Boys/Run DMC gig.
I can’t remember a single minute of it such was my state of batteredness.
Bit pointless me going really. Can’t imagine the tickets would have been easy to get hold of either.

My daughter had a ticket for that gig. Luckily, her boss was being a cunt and refused to give her the day off.

I saw The Beastie Boys supporting Run DMC there. That was some night . Missed the beginning of BB set due to crowd trouble. Scary night but probably the coolest concert anyone on here has been to.
