How would you react if this happened?

[dave64o]

I'd hope that I would count to 10 first before reacting. Acting on my initial impulse would probably get me in a lot of trouble.

 

[loveandbass]

Yeah this was just some random guy from the audience... Not a band member

The bass toss is pretty funny and do svt stacks really tip over that easy?

 

[hobosong]

We need context.

This guy might have been a hero, we don't really know.

 

[2manynotes]

If it were me, I'd take the next bus out of Scranton.

 

[VWbug]

Why would you throw your bass over your head behind you?

 

[Joe Nerve]

I'm not violent, but watching that gave me an adrenaline rush and I think I might have just reacted. That guy was a total douchebag. A computer, a keyboard, a bass bottom and head... I didn't even notice the bass amp going over till I watched it a couple of times.

I'd love to see the rest of that video.

 

[jjmuckluckjr]

El Kabong. Next time fool, don't drop your bass, crack that moron upside his head with a broadside. Problem solved.

 

[I Need a six...]

There would be blood.

 

[Nev375]

Oh the bass would fly over my head too! Only in the opposite direction and directly upside the idiot's soon to be fragmented skull.

Is temporary insanity still a viable defense in a murder trial?

Actually I have no idea how I would react. There would be pain, tears, profanity, loudness and general ugliness to be sure.

 

[jaybones]

I would have slammed that P bass into his head, several times, until someone pulled me off of him. If he died, I would fell slightly bad, but hope that there would be at least one bass player on the jury (jury nullification).

 

[loveandbass]

Yall need to take some deep breaths

Same. Haven't been in a fight since high school, and if someone looks for trouble with me I always manage to talk it off. However in that situation I doubt I'd be even able to count to 10.

 

[bigfatbass]

Two things are justified in that video:

1. The beating that was about to ensue.

2. Diving into the gear to silence Camp Bisco. Ten thousand tweaking, twerking, tools too many

 

[mikew31]

Why would you throw your bass over your head behind you?

Because it was staged?

We need context.

This guy might have been a hero, we don't really know.

It was a laptop stand that he charged, not an instrument. The bass rig was collateral damage.

I'm just playing devil's advocate here. I'm sure I'd go all Keith Richards on his behind with my Fender.

 

[Kevan Campbell]

I'll bet the rest of that video is now label "Evidence" and is in police custody...

Wow. I can't say for sure how I'd react in that situation, at least without karma bringing that back around to one of my gigs and my response here being used as character evidence against me. However I would most likely have seen him coming, and since I'm a 6'0", 250 lb, tattooed hillbilly version of Vin Diesel I don't generally have problems even with drunk people.

 

[twinjet]

What a moron. FTG! I'd break his face for that.

 

[Clark Dark]

I hate getting the "before" picture and not getting the "after" picture

# ass whipping 101

 

[Michedelic]

Was this a Ramones concert

Yeah, well, had that been a Ramones show, the SVT would still be standing, and that mook would have had a broken off maple P-Bass neck lodged in his spleen. Or perhaps a Mosrite. And why is a Ramones gig a benchmark for moshpit stupidity. Ever see the Circle Jerks?

 

[Honch]

This is the first time he ever heard the phrase stagediving. And interpreted it all wrong. He thought it was all about on-stage. What's the use? Would be better if he stagedived off the stage and broke his neck, or do a "Grohl" at least.

 

[jive1]

You guys are much too gentle......

After we got him down, I'd pants him. While others are beating the tar out of him, I'm going through his pants and getting out wallet, car keys, phone, what ever. I am taking every bit of cash from the wallet. I will take photos of every credit card in that wallet, as well as the driver's license. I will take the keys off the key chain one by one, bend them or break them, and toss them out into the audience. Having this person's info, I will use it to press charges and start a civil suit to sue them for the cost of my property damaged and loss of work. If this person has any drugs on them, I will turn it over as evidence for a criminal charge against them from the local police. I will also use the person's information to notify their employer, school, and parents of this idiot's dumb move. I will keep the phone, and download all content to be used to shame or blackmail this person until after their death. And that's just the beginning.....
