You know, I have been to so many punk gigs and never in my life have I  
experienced any of that. except one time a cholo in east l.a. pulling a gun  out on 
the owner joe vex of the vex in 1983 and was tackle by security  outside. and 
the occassional stabbing or fight. 
 



I was a hardcore show bouncer in the 80's and early 90's- I remember one  
show there was this dude from the NYC DMS gang who was drunk and upset  about his 
favorite band "Killing Time" breaking up- so he was almost crying and  
shooting a gun up in the air "why did they have to break up man..why did they  have 
to break up..BANG"- a little nerving and to have to ask him to kindly knock  
it off. 
Another time after an Agnositc Front show, these kids came running back in  
the club injured after being shot and stabbed b/c someone thought they were 
nazi  skins. kids were like 15 and we had to go out with bats running down alleys 
 trying to find the shooters- real fun stuff. 
 of course these instances are nothing like this. usually there is  quite an 
aura of a band when they are on stage. Even from the hardcore scene I  have 
never even heard of a band being attacked on stage what to speak of being  shot 
dead
