NYPD ruin Anthrax show

2009-02-05 by DerMond | 33 Comments
Anthrax were scheduled to play a free concert in Manhattan's East River Park, with Black Gold and Valient Thorr as openers, sponsored by Red Bull.
The band's set was delayed for nearly an hour, and they were forced to cut their eight song set short, to just three songs. their final song was a surprise reunion with Chuck D of Public Enemy for Anthrax's rendition of hip-hop classic "Bring the Noise."
Partway through the song, members of the New York Police Department cut power to the sound system, inciting widespread anger among the crowd, who threw snowballs and bottles at the stage and sound crew.

Snowballs and bottles should have been aimed at the officers.

Surely they had some sort of a reason to cut the power.....

And disabling the sound system doesn't justify throwing glass objects at people, especially those who aren't even responsible let alone the ones who are. But I suppose it's just a testament to some of the idiotic concert-goers out there.

The point is, the attention of the crowd should have been payed to the officers who for no apparent reason cut the power.

Seriously. If I were there and this happened, y'know, only seeing three songs and half of that rare classic I'd get so incredibly pissed off. Like, really, really fucked off.

Might incite a RIOT!!! Or something...

Throw a molotov at the P-I-G's.


You know!! Snowballs are too pussy anyway.

Man, that whole show was a set-up for something disastrous: teenagers hyped up on Red Bull, a delayed Anthrax performance that was handled by shitty sound techs, and a legendary Chuck D appearance getting cut off mid-song by the police? Geez.
