Fan Dies at Slipknot Concert

madra, Jen, listen. I'm a 37 year old musician. I guess I suffer from musician's taste. I love evrything from Neil Young to The Knot!!! Itoo was at lollapallooza in '93 when Primus was there, with RAGE and Alice in chains. I also want to SEE the show rather than MOSH. but listen, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! I have been a sound guy for many MAJOR shows. So accordingly, if I'm not working, I want to be as close to the PA as possible. You have to learn to throw them to the ground. I spent 5 years as a snare drummer in a marching corps. Slipknot has it right...

TO ANYONE WHO SAYS JESUS SAVES HAS BIGGER MENTALITY AND PERSONAL PROBLEMS UNLIKE THE FANS OF SLIPKNOT! TOO ME I SEE THEM AS AN INSPIRATION AND WHATEVER HAPPENS AT CONCERTS SHOULD STAY THERE! PUT YOURSELF IN COREY TAYLORS SHOES AND TRY TO IMAGINE THE AMOUNT OF CRAP HE MUST GET JUST FOR WRITTING A FEW WORDS IN A SONG THAT SOMEONE DOESNT LIKE JUST BECAUSE SOME SAD BASTARD WHO DOESNT EVEN LIKE SLIPKNOT HAS TAKEN UP SOME OF THEIR TIME TO FUC*ING MOAN ABOUT IT,THATS PATHETIC!! NO ONE CAN BE BLAMED FOR SUCH AN UNFORTUNATE THING TOO HAPPEN TO ANYONE! TAYLORS ALREADY GOT THE BURDEN OF SOMEONES DEATH AT HIS SHOW ON HIS CONSCIENCE WHY MAKE IT ANY HARDER FOR HIM? EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT AND HAS THEIR OWN LIKES AND DISLIKES, SHOULD WE JUDGE EACH OTHER JUST BECASUE OF WHAT WE DO? JESUS ISNT DEAD HES JUST A FIGMENT OF YOUR IMAGINATION SOMETHING YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IN! NEVER HAS AND NEVER WILL EXIST

I am a five foot nothing eighteen year old girl. I understand the risks of being even remotely close to a mosh pit. I have been pushed into said mosh pits by guys twice my size plenty of times, have fallen on my butt plenty of times, and each time I was picked up as soon as I hit the floor and placed back in the crowd. Yes, there are usually dumb kids who don't care, but the majority of the people who attend these concerts do respect the other concert-goers.

Unfortunately, none of that has anything to do with this article. And really, this shouldn't be news except where it happened. While we can all mourn the very unfortunate death of this young man, can we maybe not blame the music and the band, etc, etc? It's simply unnecessary.

if anyones every been in a slipknot mosh pit they probly know how it goes an iv seen slipknot over 10 times all in gen admission iv never seen anyone die in the pit nor have i seen people get seriously injured and to all the ignorant people who think that these people never have any respect for concert goers, maybe you should put yourselves in one of these mosh pits one day because everytime iv ever been in a moshpit and fell down i had at least 5-6 of the others moshers grabing me an pulling me up off the floor if thats not respect for another person what else is

Slipknot, Marilyn Manson are doing the same SHEET that Alice Cooper did 30 years ago........How can those be "The BEST" shows ever..............SEEN IT long before these guy's did it!! Don't Follow the Trends SHEEPOLE...I'm Mean People.......Set Them!!!

It was bound to happen, unfortunately,and will probably
happen again. What goes around , comes around, people
returning to their Neanderthal roots of expression.
Seems to be sandwiched between a stampede and an all
out brawl. Imature for a trend. To bad they just can't
enjoy the music, and learn how to dance !

It shouldn't be slipknot. It should just be SLIPPED.

Really? Its part of Slipknots music, its hard as hell. Anyone whos into Slipknot KNOWS whats coming at their concerts and if you cant take it, you shouldnt go.

i agree with jeepman & jagmar2 !! jen you rock !! & lori i bet you are a
hottie too !!!i am 43 & slipknot is 1 of my fav's allways have been , cory taylor & jim root are frickin the most talented M_FER's in music today !!!! i feel bad for the guys family & they will be in my prayers ! i havent been to a consert in a long time but i do remember the pit back in the day !! Pantera, metallica,hell even iron maiden has mosh pits !! its part of the music ! i saw Pantera in 91 & Phil wouldnt perform if the pit wasnt big enough . if you go to a metal show & dont want to mosh then stay out of that area ! most venues dont have assigned seating they are mostly gen. addmission

at rap shows they just shoot each other. black music is thug music that promotes violence and drug use. at least slipknot music is just a release of aggression. it was an unfortunate incident. cannot put any of the blame on the band.
