I don't think they're use to doing ...

I don't think they're use to doing rock concerts. They should realise that they're there to help if anything happens. I think they more had the attitude of "Everyone here tonight is here to cause trouble, lets do what we can to stop it".

From my experiences last night they were good at telling you what you couldn't do, but when you asked why they'd get angry and push you.

Rather than kicking people out for crowd surfing, lead them (not push so they fall over every 5 steps) to a place where they can be talked to... tell them that they don't accept crowd surfing, and then let them back in to enjoy the concert. Obviously, the second time they do it... they're just causing trouble but from what I saw last night everyone was just trying to have a good time.

It seemed after 10 or so people had been kicked out for pathetic reasons, their friends were trying to piss them off.... being extra violent in the moshpit and pushing the crowd around, running on stage and then hiding etc etc. I've never seen a concert with so many problems.... probably because security have never interefered that much.

I need to find out which security company this was.

some chick was being quite violent ...

some chick was being quite violent while moshing, and my friend rach was trying to keep her head out of the way and must have collided with one of this chick's elbows, and she flipped out and goes "DON'T F*CKIN BITE ME BITCH" and started elbowing rach in the face repeatedly, kneed her in the stomach, then buggered off and went to security.????? Like WTF... and they were like trying to talk to rach and she was just like nah

Hahahaha I got that on camera! She's cool. The best thing to do when someones moshing violently next to you is do the same back :P Trust me, it's easier than going against them. PS Biting in the moshpit sux!

Oh yeah, not only did I get it on ...

Oh yeah, not only did I get it on camera but I saw the marks she made. It was definitly intentional. There was a full circle mark on her arm. When I saw it, I cracked up laughing and security thought we were doing something wrong because I was laughing so loud.
