But for some reason I think the kid wanted to get beat up. He would not
have done something that radical unless he wanted to prove how seriously
Earth Crisis takes things. But that kid should not have done something
like that to get his point across, Or maybe he did. Sometimes the only
way to get a point across is to do something radical. And sometimes I
agree that you have to be as Milititant as Earth Crisis to get your point
across about the struggle to save lives.
I heard many things during the set after the numerous verbal scuttles and
the one time when the fur kid got the supreme beatdown. I think that
something like that was neccesary to sever the tension that surrounded the
show.
I heard many kids shout: HARDCORE, then VEGAN.
I heard another say: HARDCORE! VIOLENCE! (but i think he was joking)
I am not Vegan, but I do appreciate what it does for the world and I have
many friends who are Vegan/Vegetarian. However,We have to determine what
comes first. Hardcore-is a style of music and a lifestyle. Veganism is
only a lifestyle (yet it may come to being a style of music). But right
now HARDCORE comes first.
I'm sure I contradicted myself many times in the above, but it was
neccessary to show the Two Sides of the story.

I don't agree with most of what Earth Crisis says but also think this
shit about people throwing yogurt, milk and beer at them is completely
ridiculous. Do you want them running around trying to kick the morons'
asses, being as mindless as everyone else?

I'd think E.C. would probably've done a pretty good job of that
themselves, just by showing up to play. Yecch. To hell with their
politics, their music is a crime against all life.

The kid isn't vegan if that fur coat was real. What's with all this
accepting other people's views shit too? I mean if you're vegan how
the fuck can you accept someone killing animals? I don't know. Maybe
it's just me...No, it's not.

At middlesex county college, right. That show was pretty good.

you know what? I'm sick and tired of people thinking earth crisis has been advocating animal rights for "their whole lives." Karl has only been vegan for 5 years,
and when they released Firestorm, he had only been vegan for about 3 years, so EC are really just putting up this big front about being big time animal rights
people when they are just little whiney new jacks from farm country who have their parents buy them harvest burgers. Some people have to worry about their
own survival before they can worry about what food to eat.... very simply they are happy just to have food.

Not really. Indecision from Brooklyn are sxe vegan and they are far from as millitant as earth crisis, yet they actually get me thinking by listening to them, where
as when I'd listen to Earth Crisis, I just want to wring their elitist little necks.
You have to remember, if you try to shove something down someone's throat, they usually puke on you.

In many people's cases, hardcore changed and maybe even saved their lives. Because of that, I think people owe more allegance to that, so I'd have to agree
with you.

actually, those types of people are what made punk and hardcore and those types of people will be what keeps it going, so I encourage all of those kinds of
people to go to ALL shows, even if they have conflicting beliefs with me.

I was at the Earth Crisis as well. I was standing up against the
stage and I actually got elbowed in the eye(as Karl Buechner threw him
off the stage) by the idiot wearing the fur coat claiming to be vegan.
If this kid is vegan, he has been reading too many PETA magazines. We
live in the USA, not Europe, where wearing a fur coat is considered a
protest. The coat was real, I got hit by it, I would know. Also,
what kind of vegan statement is being made by throwing yogurt around?
I must agree. Dystopia are one of the best of these type of bands. Very
intricate, great buildup, great lyrics. Everyone must check them out. -Max
Wouldn't it be FUN if every time you did something that others didn't
necessarily agree with, they'd kick the shit outta you? Wouldn't that be
SWELL? The kid in the (fake) fur coat is a fucking VEGAN. Take your
fucked-up, toughguy jock mentality back to the football field and OUTTA my
scene.

right on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This whole fucking argument is absolutely ridiculous. Hardcore has always
been a forum; a way for kids to discuss and debate different issues
without the hindrances of mainstream society. When you say "when you fuck
with people like that, you gotta expect to get beat up," well that makes
me want to scream. Wearing a fake fur is "fucking with somebody?" That
sort of intolerance and stupidity makes these so-called "sensitive, caring
vegans" no better than nazi boneheads that used to fuck up all the
hardcore shows back in the day. That sort of reactionary,
you-fuckin-with-me-i'll-beat-yer-ass attitude has absolutely NO PLACE in
ANY scene that associates itself with hardcore. Fuck Earth Crisis if they
support this moronic violence. Maybe now you have a bit of an idea what
"my scene" is about. Tell me which is more stupid.
You're the one who's new to hardcore right? And you're advocating
violence towards those who choose to express themselves differently?
"they shouldn't have to deal with some asshole who doesn't want to deal
wiht their message?" Yes i guess it sucks that the whole fucking hardcore
scene doesn't bow down to the mighty Earth Crisis and kiss their asses and
vow to destroy the carnivores of the world. Take this fucked-up stance
with you when you get tired of hardcore and move on to the next trend,
please. Thanks.

The yogurt wasn't thrown by that kid, other smart guy.... it was those kids from philly.... and that was pretty fucking funny.
and why do you think some kid would spend close to a thousand dollars on a fur coat just to piss off earth crisis? PLEASE!!!!
what do you think he borrowed his mom's fur coat. "yeah, mom, I'm gonna go to earth crisis wiht your $800 fur coat to piss them off.... it might get ruined, but I'll be a
scenester so that's okay."
If I punched you in the face and I was wearing a ring, could you tell if the ring was real gold? (that was a joke)
and I don't live in europe, what the hell are you talking about. I was born in JFK hospital in Edison, NJ, less than 20 miles from Middlesex County College, and I currently
reside in MOnroe, NJ. To get to Middlesex CC from my house take 18north to 1north (at the intersection in New Brunswick). Follow 1 north to the light where there is a big,
worn out mack truck sign. Make a right there. Middlesex is down the road. Now that I'm done making my point, I live 20 minutes from middlesex in NJ, not 20,000 miles
away in europe.

PS-that is not a crack on XecX...just an observation. I am simply saying
that I don't think that their music is something that the majority of
American record-buyers are going to go for...but that's probably not a
bad thing.

By the way, I'm the one who threw the yogurt. my roomate justin threw
the beer and unplugged the amps. philadelphia kids are crazy. we dont
like something, we fuck it up. oops.
