Big bloke in the moshpit throwing his weight about. Pushing people over etc. Knob.

I know that a bit of pushing and shoving is part of the 'thing' down the front, but this prick was way over the top, and wouldn't stop.

wow! that must have been some pretty bad behaviour for the band to stop playing! of course, in the old days anyone not playing nicely would have got properly stomped in the due course of things...wonder who he was? (and who he was mates with, as Chris put it?)

Wayne?

Simon Denbigh?

1. Great gig! Clear voice. Von in a good mood.
2. Same setlist as Brussels.
3. Inspite of what Chris said; they did not stop the show! Just made remarks before an encore and after the show.
4. During Miserlou Von was not happy with the sound of his microphone and did a sound check while the boys were playing. Hilarious....
5. Halfway Vision Thing Von had troubles with the lyrics. Chris helped him out.

Chris was about the only one annoyed. There was no bully! Just a tall guy having fun. He was like 5 meters away from me and everything was fine. No idea what got into Chris. Misunderstanding? Everyone was surprised....you'd even be surprised. Believe me...

What Ozpat said: word for word!

For me a great, great gig and too bad it ended with the Catalyst rant what nobody seemed to understand what it was about exactly.
Von's cheeky 'Oops' afterwards was fun though

Thanks for sharing these, @MrBlonde. The sound is crystal clear again - band on top form !

True what Ozpat said! Nice gig, good vocals and an enthousiastic crowd.

I can imagine Chris being upset about something he noticed in the moshpit, but IMO he picked out the wrong guy

cheers!

maybe was a repercussion after Prague incident?

WHOA! The shirt!!!

thanks to all attendees for their versions of events...whatever chris's reason we must agree it is a completely different perspective being on stage. just glad to hear that it wasn't as bad as all that and i'm glad you all enjoyed yourselves.

Judging by Von's new look, I'd guess he's been busy watching the NHL playoffs.

What surprises me more after watching the vid: the overall good quality and good response of the audience. I thought i'd seen it all after a decade. Maybe they DO grow during a tour?

Wonderful photos and great videos with indeed a perfect sound ... thank you all for these ... ...

I wish to add that no matter whether it was not as bad, I find it very kind that The Sisters do care about how people behave towards each other
in their fanbase and during their gigs! To me, this is (and has always been) an important point counting for them... ...
and IMHO, it is clear, that their means to do so and to perceive what's possibly going on are limited... ... and that it is also upon us to see to that ourselves ... ...

absolutely. and i agree on all points.

Its good they care indeed, which is possible in small venues
In 2011 in hamburg watching the mischon, graig stopped, jumped into the audience and "escorted" a guy from the moshpit who seemed to having pushed some girl too hard out of the venue.

I agree to a certain level, but :

In Vienna one of the girls was not well in the first lines and the security guys pulled her out. As soon as he noticed it, Von went to the edge of the stage and was singing there… but watching with worry if everything was okay and he stepped back when he saw that the security guys had her and there was not big trouble. It is very heart-warming that they care about their fans.

True, though I think it were a very new experience if we suddenly had to worry about such behaviour on part of The Sisters ... ...

That was always Craig's role in the Sisters too. used to warn people "That man is carrying a very heavy bass and if I were you ..." or words to that effect. They didn't always get the message.

At that time under the impressions of the gigs I thought it had been in Vienna, but in fact it was in Linz.
Having seen my vids again I realised that it's actually on the vid.
Wacth from 4:00 to 4:25. (Von was watching if the girl could be taken out safely.) <3 <3
