He has a point. There is nothing wrong with raging just don't hurt anybody or mess up the band's equipment. I would be mad too if I had my eyes closed while feeling a song and got knocked over.
What a little bitch. Guess this dudes never been to a real hardcore show.

The kid would've never bumped into him if security didn't tackle him.
this dude is old as fck and needs to retire if he's going to throw fits on stage like a 7 year old fat kid. don't compare yourself to randy blythe either. no one listens to crowbar
if he's worried about being the next Randy Blythe, then why would he kick the guy in the head?
These dudes rode on a distant ripple of hxc's impact 20 years ago and now they owe their big second wind to another ripple via dumbass hxc kids who don't understand what a bunch of fcking posers they always were. This incident just drives home that point. Crowbar sucked then, they suck now, this dude is a fat whining pssy, and they can all sck a dck... Especially during planets collide.
He's not comparing himself to Randy he's saying WTF, it's a metal show bro. Who the fck jumps on stage unless invited? This ain't some hip hop show. fcking everybody listens to Crowbar, ever since Phil wore his fcking band tshirt in the I'm broken video. Oh yeah Phil you might remember his band? Pantera? Remember their gutiar player? What happened to him?
People who get on stage should be executed. Watch the band and stop making it about yourself. No one wants to see you dancing and no one wants to catch you. Stop being fruitcakes.
"People who get on stage should be executed"
Id sue that fat fck if he kicked me in the head..what dckwad
Thoroughly in his right to do what he did - the c-ckwad getting onstage could have shived him.
This is the reality of the post LOG lawsuit world we now live in. Don't wanna get kicked in the head? Stay off the fcking stage, jerk. No one wants anyone injured or anyone from the band having to go to jail because of it.
What a fcking scumbag! It's a metal show pssy! The kid would not have hit him if the fat biker security guard wouldn't have tackled him. It's not your office you outdated piece of shit! It's the fans. No fans, no band. If this was Devil Wears Prada, no would be defending the singer. They would be calling him a pssy bitch.
fcking gay ass vocalist kicking the dude in the head, no one gives a fck about your band washed up fat fck
I have to laugh, if they were washed up, why are they still going for $4500.00 a show? Why do people still buy their albums?
Crowbar sucks dck anyways. Vocalist looks like a fat turd and is a whiny little bitch. Don't have guitar techs? Too bad fix that shit yourselves. Drove 15 hours? Too bad, you tour for a living. Annoyed at a fan stage diving? Get the fck over it. It's a show. It happens. Stop acting like a little bitch.
fck everyone in this comment section. Crowbar is heavier than all of your favorite bands. End of discussion.
Is that drummer wearing gloves? hhahah. Why?
Stock up on supply for your "office" and stop crying about a business trip. Suck my dck.
fck THIS OLD FAT GOOFY LOOKIN fckTARD AND HIS STUPID ASS OVERRATED BAND, I CANT BELIEVE HE BROUGHT THE OFFICE ASPECT INTO IT....AND IM THINKING WOW U FAT GOOFY fck UR IN THE LIVE MUSIC BIZ WHERE KIDS WANT TO GET WILD AT SHOWS AND JUMP ON AND OFF STAGE HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH A fckING OFFICE JOB, fck CROWBAR
All parties involved are huge gays. Also, this is the first time i heard Crowbar..and man... they suck. Skip a meal you fat, back peddling fruit.
At least be respectful and don't assault fans of your band while they are being restrained by security and pose no threat to you. gay.
Homie in the jorts definitely kills a dozen donuts in his office daily.
So they apparently make $4500 a show but can't afford backup guitars or techs or a driver to make that 15 hour drive for them?

If your fat ass didn't want to be knocked into thenmaybe spy out should start playing with oh I don't know YOUR EYES fckING OPEN?!! Then maybe you could of avoided that situation.
fck CROWBAR AND fck KIRK. FAT DUMB SHIT KICKS KIDS IN THE HEAD. YOU fckING TOOL.
How do they think This Is Hardcore is going to go? I smell bad vibes
Crowbar is better than almost all of the stupid shit I see on this website everyday, and you goddamn elitist hardcore fcks with your stage diving and bro-time can fck right off. fck that fan for being an idiot and fck you too.
Crowbar is playing This Is Hardcore in July. He is gonna love the stage mosh.
I wonder how theyre going to react during this is hardcore
^^ If the venue allows stage diving then he said he has no problem with it
"At shows WITHOUT security or barricades if you decide to run on stage or dive off it, at least be respectful, get up and dive off and try not to hit into the band or break their gear and try not to break your neck or the neck of someone else. Thanks for understanding!"
...so people don't even like Crowbar now? What the fck do people listen to that they think is heavy now, exclusively Meshuggah rip off bullshit?
The security guard's aggressive tackle almost took his knee out. Otherwise the kid would have just jumped back in the crowd. That 3 minutes of video put me to sleep even with the kid jumping on to the stage. He should have learned to keep his feet off of people from Randy Blythe. If the kid had got brain damage from that kick it would cost him big time.
plenty of people like crowbar kirk windstein is just as shocked as everybody else that suddenly the hardcore scene is showing mad love for crowbar. as far as ive ever known crowbar is a sludge band haha people dont do sick stage dives to sludge bands. poor little kirk windstein just isnt used to this behavior at his shows
calm down fat boy, he was jumping to get away from the sound of your shitty "sludge" band...
These commenters are either intentionally trolling or your little kids who've never had to work for yer shit, and those of us metalheads in our 40s & 50s, our bodies aren't super bendy anymore, we brake when we stub a toe! 🫶🏼🤘🏼🤜🏼
Some of you have zero respect! Y'all think it's ok for a fan to run on stage and it's NOT!!
the mistake was from kirk and the security guard. since kirk know about dime and such , then he should keep his eyes opened and he would have seen that it was the security guard who pushed the guy on him. kirk should not have kicked the guys head.
kicking that kid in the head was pretty uncalled for. also that venue fcking sucks anyway.
