i have infinately more respect for the stills after seeing them last week. the band was in the middle of a song, when at the front of the stage, two grown men were fighting because one bumped into the other. the singer pratically stopped the song, told the men to stop acting like children, and that it wasn't acceptable behavior. he couldn't believe that it was happening at one of their shows.....and i agree, their music doesn't incite moshing or fights; and i'm glad they don't encourage them either; unlike rob zombie. that tool played a show some friends were at and encouraged the audiance to "F*** each other up!"; the audiance went nuts and a bunch of them wound up hurt. artists, you can stop the show and make sure the audiance is safe; all it takes is telling everyone to calm down, take a step back and that you won't continue the show if the audiance gets out of hand. i wish more people would do that.
