So when I heard Opeth was playing at the Avalon in Hollywood I was so pissed they were going to play in that shitty venue. The reasons why this place sucks dick for metal are these...unless the security is different for metal show...
When me and my girlfriend saw Porcupine Tree there a few years back for the Fear of A blank Planet tour, two songs into it they escorted my girlfriend and I into the security booth because she was "bumping" people. The crowd seemed to be older people and I can't believe they'd complain about a hot girl accidently bumping into you for the heavy parts! Jesus this was a rock concert. so we were let back out and immediately after she danced again and bumped people and so we were kicked out... and I called them faggots, pussies, etc. They said they feared for her safety and that she might pass out because she was drunk. So she was, but so are many others and no she was not going to pass out. B.S. So we payed to hear barely like 3 songs and my girlfriend cried the rest of the night and I tried to console her and I fear for those seeing Opeth and Enslaved there on the 16th that the security at this fucked up conservative venue will kick people out for moshing too rough. So I warn all you going that either you all mosh, They can't kick everyone out! or riot against these no good conformist corporate pussies! I'm going to see them in Pomona instead I refuse to support this fascist venue anymore!
Fuck the Avalon! Look what they did to us at a Porcupine Tree show! I can't imagine what they would do for a "slightly" heavier show like Opeth and Enslaved!! I pray they have a new head of security or woke up and realized what pricks they are...

somehow, I don't mosh to Opeth, something magical about them that makes me want to.. un-mosh.
and yet I mosh to everything else. Foo Fighters, QOTSA, ABBA, The Village people. you name it.

Way to take personal responsibility for acting like bafoons even after being warned. Strangely, I didn't see anyone get removed when I saw Immortal there. The Avalon is a nice place, and I'll be enjoying the show with the rest of the fans even though I'll be in Pomona as well.

Ive never been there but I agree... if they tell you to stop "bumping" people and you go straight back out and do it again, expect to be kicked out. You were warned, and they will be watching you more closely for you to do something. Bad move on your/yourgirlfriend's part.
 
This thread cracks me up, for several reasons (see above posts).

HOWEVER, your idea to "boycott" the show is hilarious. When it comes down to seeing Opeth live, I'll sit my ass in a chair if I have to, cuz I'm not gonna miss the show.
 
dude sorry about your experience but ive seen plenty of metal shows at the avalon most recently Amon Amarth in October 2008......I moshed like a mother fucker so did many others, and no problems AT ALL....the security was cool, even let cameras in and such. It's one of my favorite venues in Hollywood to see a show and was thrilled to hear Opeth and ENslaved were playing there. It will be fun! don't worry.
 
he who moshes at porcupine tree does not REALLY appreciate porcupine tree then, does he?

edit: and opeth for that matter
