from blabbermouth...
Matthew D. LaPlante of The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting that a Midvale concert promoter whose heavy metal concert was ruined last week when fans
started fighting with band members and with security is blaming local devotees of the Straight Edge movement ? and he now plans to exclude members of
the anti-establishment group from future shows.
"Every band I talk to is worried to come to Salt Lake because they're worried about the Straight Edgers here," said Solid Entertainment promoter Bobby
Baugh, who noted that the group, in most other communities, practices a lifestyle free of violence.
Many Straight Edgers describe their group as an unaffiliated network of people with a similar ideology that eschews drugs, alcohol, sex and civic
participation, such as voting. Most members, proponents say, also renounce violence.
Baugh said he will have bouncers screen ticket holders at the door and keep out those who appear to be Straight Edgers.
Baugh said a metal group known as DIECAST was on stage at a downtown Midvale Club on Saturday evening when several Straight Edgers took the stage and
began to attack the singer. When members from another band, HATEPIECE, attempted to intervene, they were attacked as well.
Baugh said he invited a Sacramento group, THE HOODS, to play a short set at the concert at the last minute. Though he knew THE HOODS had a Straight
Edge following, Baugh figured their late addition to the ticket would prevent many Straight Edge fans from showing up.
"That's where I was wrong," said Baugh, who had five security guards and about 150 fans on hand. "They got on the phone with their friends. Word got
out they were here. I really didn't expect it to turn out that way."
No arrests have been made in the fight, in which several security guards and band members were injured. Officers from six agencies responded, but
those involved in the fight had left.
Utah gang officers say members of the Straight Edge movement comprise the largest gang in the state. Individual members sometimes affiliate with
animal liberation and environmental extremists and have a terroristic bent, police claim.

so now some straight edgers stay pure by not voting as well? awesome.

What these pricks are doing has nothing to do with Straight Edge. I think they should stay home and rent fight club.

how long ago did this happen? isn't diecast in europe now?
Killthehumans - 2-16-2005 at 06:27 PM
Why are edgers going to metal shows...i mean ive seen diecast before...but only when they played with hardcore bands,
Killthehumans - 2-16-2005 at 06:28 PM
i think metal bands need to stop calling themselves hardcore bands.
clevohardcore - 2-16-2005 at 06:55 PM
This is just funny. Straight edge people don't vote. Metal bands are now hardcore bands. Vegans are now violent. Whats the world coming too? Promoters
will now screne people to see if they look straightedge. HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i've always thought as voting as being very similar to heroin.
some junkies even travel from county to county trying to get their voting fix.
greg hxc - 2-16-2005 at 10:20 PM
ps, this happened just a few weeks ago. i love how they talk about their "straight-edge following" . the promoter has clearly not hung out with the
hoods recently.

I love how the band never stopped playing. 100 Demons stops and then starts playing "Eye of the Tiger". Ive never actually seen them do this, but
Ive heard about it happening on several occassions.
