Suprising....the whole place was vibrating at Nottm because of the standing lot.... and Jared stood with his back to the audience most of that night too...weird. Seems like I Want You and Notion have replaced Trani and Arizona.... I'm a newish fan but would much rather have the oldies than those. Shame  Get those pics up lady! Once you've recovered, obviously!  |

the guys were soooooooo good last night to be honest i thought alot of the crowd were abit shit, we left the pit after a few songs cuz i just literally couldnt move, everyone was pushing forard but there was nowhere to go! Then we moved to the side where we had a good dance, but were surrounded by the 'sof only' fans I thought the encore would have had 4 songs like the other but they only did 3. Then when they left after the encore, they walked past where everyone was standing at the side, and people were shouting and stuff but they barely even looked over, Jared shouted something and threw his towel on the floor then kicked it!! He was obviously pretty mad. Cant eblieve people were throwing stuff, whats the point! Oh and we didnt hang around after cuz to behonest we didnt feel that safe, this guy kept shouting stuff at me, then we saw 3 other guys pissing over the barrier onto peoples cars in the car park. So we just left All in all the kings were great as exppected, but the crowd was nowhere near as amazing as brixton  |

I don't understand why someone would go to a gig like that just to spend the night throwing stuff at them?
What's the point?
It's disrespectful, at the end of the day no one made them go and I am sure there are alot of people out there who would have loved to have been there instead of them!

I'm pretty sure he mouthed "for fucks sake" and when he walked out first Caleb was looking over at him :/ |

The crowd seemed to get into it near the end but it did look like most people weren't even moving for the beginning and middle (not sure if that was just what I could see) but thought it was a bit of a shame for the guys if all the could see were lots of people standing still. I've heard that some of the crowd acted like muppets the last time they played Brum, people mentioned particularly how aggro some people were with the pushing. At the front it looked particularly nasty at some points last night. It's just a real shame I think but I suppose it's systematic of Arenas-you are going to get some townies coming along who wouldn't go to a smaller indie venues to see a band. Hopefully they'll have hated all the other songs save for those on OBTN and they'll never go see them again and then all the fans will always be able to get tickets.... . But considering how nice Caleb has been with the crowds at some of the other venues-thanking them for supporting them, etc he didn't really say anything at all along those lines apart from ending with "we'll see you again real soon" or something like that. Did anyone talk to them after?? |

Karma for the pics Sarah diceyjane, your right it was pretty aggresive, thats why we left the pit, it wasnt like you were getting oushed around cuz everyone was dancing and jumping, it was just people trying to push you out the way. One girl was elbowing me in the head, and trying to like, climb over me! thats when i had enough  Which i was annoyed about cuz i dont normally leave the pit, im used to being mashed, but not when its aggresive like that. |

Yeah it was pretty pushy last night, I go there expecting it.. but at one point I felt like my boob had been left where I'd originally started!
There was a few incidents around us of a bit of violence, my dad was right at the left of the stage and said at the end 3 guys turned up being really stupid and one ended up getting punched.. I saw them all get taken away and they looked a bit like troublemakers.
I have to say literally everytime I've gone to see them there's been an encounter with several dicks. And you're right, he didn't say the same as the others e.g. about the crowd
I don't fucking blame him, if people threw stuff at me I'd throw it back!

Wow, great pics Sarahe!! Cant believe people were throwing stuff on stage, would security not throw those people out. I'm pretty sure the security here are waaaaaaaaaaaaay stricter than they are in the UK at least from what I saw in Glasgow and from what u guys say!!! I Want You though??!! I'd love to hear that live!!! It seems we need a better plan regarding the whole trani/arizona issue!!!!!!! *TO THE MATTCAVE* its where I do my best work |

It's disrespectful, at the end of the day no one made them go and I am sure there are alot of people out there who would have loved to have been there instead of them! that really angers me that people were doing that and throwing crap at them, cus last year when i went to the NIA the crowd was sooo good and everyone was singing along to every song that they played and like 2 things were thrown! and i wanted to go and i blame it on the stuiped 'SOF fans' smite me all u like but i blame them for me not getting to go and for making the gig for u guys not as good as it could of been and p***ing of the band, im happy for the boys being successful but when they attract people like that and just make it not as gd for real fans it sucks!! |

sarah your photos are great thank you!!! In one of them Jared looks like he is really giving someone a death stare! I just don't understand why people would go to see a band play and throw loads of shit at them? I would be especially pissed off with all the beer being thrown as it could easily ruin their equipment. Nathan just walked off at the end, didn't even wave to anybody and Jared just walked off when they went off stage before the encore before the others had even put their instruments down. I'd be pretty annoyed if I was them too. There was no mention from Caleb about being a good crowd. They'll probably miss Brum off the tour next time! The crowd also looked pretty violent during some parts of the night. We saw security literally having to wrestle some people out of the place. Apart from the front and the middle, the crowd looked really still. But then everyone was dancing during Black Thumbnail! One of my friends had a standing ticket and said there was ALOT of pushing. I was going to wait afterwards but firstly there was a couple of places they could have come out. There were 3 buses out the front where there was a handful of people waiting but security said that their tour bus was round the back and they'll probably just get straight on it and leave. So i jumped in a taxi cos i was literally frozen to the bone by this point and it was too cold to walk home. My taxi drove right round the back of the arena and i saw them loading everything into the lorries there and there was one bus that looked like a tour bus there. But it was parked right by the door so if you waited by the gate they wouldn't have even seen you. And there was no one else waiting there so I decided against it! Plus I was already in my taxi! They probably were too worried people would throw more crap at them if they came out  |
