When i woke up i saw him giving me the finger, and daring me to get back in. I lost my temper and dived in to bash his ******* face in, but as soon as he saw me coming he recoiled and i found myself restrained by security guards. It's sad because it's getting to the point where i can't go into the crowd anymore.

ive seen gallows live, and those who havent but like them know that frank is famed for diving in the crowd and the like.
i think its disgusting that someone has paid money just to try and make the night really ******.
what do you think about it?

i was there, that guy was a pr*ck, i'm surprised he managed to get out the venue without getting his head kicked in. at least frank got a few hits to the head with his mic on the geezer who was doing it

I think thats absolutely stupid :l What an idiot.

ha i just read it in nme aswell :p
i know its pathetic!
i cant belive why anyone would want to do that
if you dont like him dont pay to go and see him!
but he also seems really depressed.
and hes already confirmed that he wont be staying in gallows forever as he wants to be a tatoo artist so..
maybe an early break up if the new songs dont go well.
anyway i love gallows hope it all turns out ok for em

I don't understand what the guy was thinking he was probably drunk and high to do something like that. Why weren't the other Gallows fans around helping?

yeh i wondered that.
im sure he got his just desserts at some point during the gig.

in the interview he also mentioned about how they have written a new song for about 4- months, and they're sick of touring with just their debut album. which i agree with, i really think they need to bring out a new album if they want to be around much longer.

something also happened at the gig at the 100 club i think, but i cannot find this weeks kerrang! in my house.

yeahh, he did seem a bit drunk

i think everyone was so surprised that he choked frank in the first place, that no one though about starting anything with him

i guess he didnt listen to what anti flag had to say about how the people in the audience were a community

i think Frank Carter is a ****
/end of

Sad, but shizzle happens...

I think that too but violence isn't the answer. I felt really bad when I read that just now, even though I have thought he was a *****, it still wasn't the right thing to do..

Also agreeing with above, god knows how he made it out of the venue alive.
