Three People Stabbed At Metallica Concert In Colombia

Band Photo: Metallica (?)
According to Colombian news sources, the Metallica concert in the city of Bogota last night featured scenes of violence, as three people were found stabbed, a policeman was wounded, more than fifty people arrested and property was destroyed by ticketless fans who tried to gate crash the show. This was the bands first Colombian show in eleven years and authorities prepared for trouble by having well over one thousand police officers at the event, as well as four tanks and several police trucks.

Post 5: Metallica fans are the craziest muthafukas in the world, those four tanks were there for a reason. Yeah and Columbia is a bit of a f***ed up country too, why any band would want to play there just escapes me. Not the least bit surprised that this happened.

Oz, your the last person i d think would diis coldplay...wow...someone who likes and knows different genere' s of music i thought you would kinda digg em...oh well, honestly they re one of my guilty pleasures...
4 tanks and 1,000 police and still couldnt control the crowd..of coarse we dont know the overall attendance, but say if it was under 50,000? I could safely say that colombias army / policia sucks

Sorry fella, the problem is Coldplay are absolutely huge over here and I've always found them pretty boring. In addition their latest stuff shows that they have become pretty self-indulgent, following in the footsteps of U2 almost. I've never really been a fan of bands like Coldplay or Radiohead though, it's fine for what it is and I have a few friends who like that sort of stuff, just not for me though. Much like DubStep really.

haha cmon branded lift your game your metallica calls are becoming stock standard- you can do better than this..ive seen better on your last 97 metallica rippings haha
..and picking on hot chicks, that is so not metal :p
in all seriousness tho, ppl who go to concerts to be f***wits annoy the absolute sh** out of me just stay the f*** home and stop ruining it for the normal ppl.

Branded - I guess it wasn't so much you jokingly ripping on Metallica, your anti-everything comments just annoy me. Plus, fair or not I tend to associate people with their avatars. Much like how I see wilco as a wonderfully drunken dutchman, BG1 a fvckin badass, Oz a limey with diamond nuts, and Hollow as just wanting to steal my soul, yours makes me think you're a fat whiskey tango hick.
I'm sure I'm totally wrong about that, my apologies for overreacting. =D

100% WRONG!! LOOKS LIKE YOU MAKE ASSUMPTIONS WITHOUT KNOWING THE FULL TRUTH. I DO NOT DRINK ANY BEER OR LIQUOR AND WILL NOT START EITHER!! IM NO HICK BY ANY MEANS.
yes i hate metallica. sorry it annoys you, while making others laugh. im sure there are bands you hate and talk smack on regularly. its ok to do that! im not gonna hold it against you and think that your avatar makes you look like a preppy barbie doll, who listens to metal to seem cool or make friends!!
have a nice day maam!

For f**K sakes branded, i d think you would have some empathy for the ladies, damn...ruthless
LDB, i had a 2 week cyberwar with 420 over metallica, he can go all day on this topic, if your appologizing for personal attack thats fine, but hopefully not for your stance on the group. That s a band you like, cool, stand firm....branded may seem like a bully, but eventually youll find out in the end, he s a puzzycat....hope all is well in oregon...
As well as tobacco road, 420

yo #33, i will not chill when some1 flat out refers to me as white trash! i made a joke about the fans at the show, and she became annoyed. boo fkn hoo!! she apparently feels she is above the normal person, (read her post 23). shes just another yuppie turd with un-evolved monkey mentality......

Branded it's Diamond, there's really no need tp get so worked up man. I could be wrong but I can't see anyone calling you white trash. Even if they are, turn it into a positive thing. Smoke a spliff, drink a beer, listen to Kyuss, do whatever you gotta do but relax, you'll live longer.

aah brother branded

i do love metallica but its not the only band who is great
have to say the show in bogota a kickass show for 80% old songs
and the riots well not so bad only the taxi driver on a taxi before me got a rock trowen to the window of his taxi
i just waited in a bar untill everything was quit again

Oz Post#12, LOL My thoughts exactly!
People don't need sleeping pills, any Coldplay album will do. As will any post year 2000 REM album for that matter.
Well, REM works for me... Coldplay just annoys me too much. It pisses me off that a band that anemic and crap can be so popular. Coldplay's the proof = We europeans are a bunch of idiots

i dont get things that makes bill collectors come after me. after i had that meeting with the regional vice president, things changed for the better. my boss was looked at like the incompetent jack-off that he is. im back up to 4 days a week. i want more, but happy to have 4!! wasnt trying to get off topic there
as for the topic, i was looking at their tour schedule there. it seems metallica likes to end tours in in that part of the world. o wait, was that too offensive or annoying for anyone to read?!?!?!? hahahaha

lddb, truce!! no worries. i wasnt mad, just was standing up in the face of verbal smack. one thing about me you need to know is do talk mega smack on metallica. while it is smacking, im doing it in a joking way 98% of the time. yes, i do sound like a huge a$$hole most of the time, but its all in fun! in fact the band i roadie for are all huuuuuuuuuuuge metalli-sheep! (wuhahahaha) im always in verbal spats with them about it, but we all laugh in the end.
here at MU we are all brothers and sisters in metal (EXCLUDING THE EMO FU(KS!!!!!!) and one day i probably will defend you when some nobody comes in and sh1ttalks on you. \,,/

That exclamation point is supposed to be a 1, and there are some spaces in there somewhere but I don't have my xbox anymore! I want to change it for when I use my friends' consoles but I need more points and I'm too lazy to go to GameStop and get a point card.
65. writes:
if u wanna change ur g/t just tell everybody u know that has xbox live to just report ur g/t as offensive, then, w/ enough reports, u'll be forced to change it. idk if that method still works lol but alotta my friends & ppl i knew on xbox live would do that in the past. good luck!!

ES: yeah lmao!! but i've only had it for like MAYBE more than a month, tops. plus i rlly don't follow weird social networking lingo and stuff, even tho i do know l33t and gamer talk lol but it is pretty f***ing kool to have a grl like LDB "light" cyber stalking me, even if she is jp around w/ me lol u got one?? add me bro.
Q4life: i love trivium!! representing good metal, well, at least metal at all lol, from florida. but if it wasn't for metallica, there wouldn't be a trivium.
branded: in ur mind and opinion, trivium is like the sh** stains, left in the toilet, from the terd, that is metallica lol

NH, I'm proud to say I'm not on facebook any longer. I deleted that sh** many moons ago. I'm with you on the gamer talk, back in my teenage years I was addicted to CS/DOD lol
PS. I'll have to agree with branded on this one, Trivium and Metallica are god aweful...but Trivium is far worse lol

did had a good time last night
but the police was harassing from the firts moment the doors went open
and of course the crowed responded at the end of the concert
again on the streets
the bad thing about it will be that the goverment will not let metal bands to play in the park
so they will loose control
i did not notice any probelms i did pay lots for a ticket so i had the red carpet ticket
but a shame it happend again last year with iron maiden
it gives metal a bad name
but for the rest the concert kick a$$ a good show
