Anyone heard about it?
My friend was there. He said that someone threw yougurt at them,
and someone threw a can of beer at them. They said it was real immature,
and that they would gladly discuss it "maturely" after the show. Later,
this kid ran on stage in a fur coat. The bass player threw off his bass
and began to get rough. The kid in the fur coat took off, but it caused
quite a ruckus.

the accused fur coat bandit is supposedly also a vegan the only difference
is that he can recognize other peoples views and accept them unlike the no
sense of humored Smurf Crisis

I would have to say that anyone who wears a fur coat and calls themselves
a vegan is quite the hypocrite. I too was at the show last night and was
amazed at the utter stupidity and heartlessness of those people who threw
things at EC and tried to start a fight with them later in the show. Now
when I read accounts of EC fighting members of the audience at shows, I
will know what kind of idiots they have to deal with and understand that
they are defending themselves. As to the guy in fur...what did he think
would happen? Are people so afraid of what EC have to say that they want
to stop them from saying it? Maybe if you own a slaughterhouse I could
understand.

I have mixed fellings about the happenings last night. I thought that the
yogurt throwing and the beer can throwing was absolutely ridiculus. That
is the type of ignorant, "immature" things that you would see at a Green
Day show. This was a hardcore show and what those people were thinking
was not hardcore at all. If they didn't like Earth Crisis, than they
should have left. Not only was the yogurt ignorant but it made a complete
mess. That was completely uncalled for.

As for the kid in the fur coat, you would have to ask him what he
expected. Many of these people spend their whole lives for Animal
Liberation, and running on stage while an "extremely" Vegan band was
playing was not the smart thing to do.

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.

The fur coat was fake and the kid indeed was vegan...however...earth
crisis is so called militant but they play shows rather than go to the
animal rights march in DC and that fight was the only actions that i have
ever seen them do. i guess talk is cheap...

E.C. is not what I would call militant...they express exstremist views
and that's it they EXPRESS them. I want to know how many people have been
beat down by any of those wussies in E.C.? They talk lots of shit but
they don't seem to back up their words. Another problem I have with E.C...
they are in such great physical condition from living so pure?...they
are about the most weak malnutrition bunch of morons i have ever seen

all i have to say on this is that i do so love the 314 boys for
having the fucking humour to throw beer and YOGURT (oh sean and justin, i
love you so) at earth crisis. and for the fools to beat up a *vegan*
with a sense of humour wearing a FAKE FUR coat only goes to show their
initial response to everything is violence, which is never very bright,
is it?

Actually...as far as I know, Karl from EC was talking to some people
quietly and maturely aftyer the show...I think that the throwing of
non-vegan and non-SXE food on stage was pretty fucked up, especially the
yogrt that hit mike Olender (Endeavor vocalist) in the chest and got all
over his chest...personally, I thionk that if you disagree with a band
like Earth Crisis, you should talk to tyhem or form your own band or do a
zine or something, not piss off a bunch of people and have them hold you
in contempt...but maybe it's just me...

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?

duh. sean mccabe and justin moulder, both of 314 philly fame,
were the culprits of said yogurt and beer tossing. i personally find it
vaguely amusing. and as for the kid in the "fur" coat, it was FAKE fur,
and incidentally, he has been vegan for five years and just happens to
have a sense of humour.

i think the kid who ran out in a fur coat is an asshole. fur is not a
joke, even if it was fake. as long as people are buying fake fur people
will be buying real fur so he is part of the problem. and that was just a
stupid thing to do and from what i saw he got his ass beat pretty bad, and
i am glad he did. it wrecked earth crisis' set and i wish those kind of
assholes would just stay the fuck home.

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.

I do believe that Fake fur exists as an ALTERNATIVE to real fur. Those
people that buy real fur know that fake fur exists, yet choose not to buy
it. And nobody, NOBODY deserves to get pummeled for wearing fake fur.
HOw would you like it if everyone that had different ideologies than you
decided to beat the piss outta you? Bet you wouldn't like that too much,
would you? Who wrecked Smurf Crisis' set? The kid in the fur or the
fuckheads that beat him up? You tell me.

While I agree that Earth Crisis shouldn't have beat that kid up, what he
did was stupid. He was the one not respecting them. If he didn't like
what Earth Crisis had to say he shoulda gone home. And if he wanted to
be funny he should try to get on Saturday Night Live. An Earth Crisis
show is about music, and everyone knew how they'd react. The kid did
what he did to get a rise out of them. I think he knew exactly what
would happen, and that's what he wanted.

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.

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?

there were many people at fault for what happened and ignorance certainly
was in the air. one of the few intelligent things I saw happen was Karl
screaming "Get the fuck off the guy!" while a bunch of violence inclined
dimwits were beating the shit out of another dimwit in a fur coat. if you
don't like them leave, unless you are mature and human enough to watch
them and then "debate" with them after the show which I did. what's the
sense of not hurting animals if you take pleasure in hurting other people?
violence, in any form is wrong. beating someone for their stupid actions
is lowering yourself to their stupid level.

would you do this? why would you challenge the beliefs of vegans
especially if you are vegan? people say earth crisis is full of shit and
that guy tested their militant stance, and they proved that they are true

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,

'Kay, I guess you didn't read my correction. I meant to say that they
shouldn't of beaten that kid up. And I don't think that we should
destroy all the carnivores of the world, I never said that. I simply
said that we should listen to what they have to say, and then make a
decision, and what ever our decision is, we should respect their
opinions. You can discuss things with them, and try and get them to
change their opinion, but messing around with their show isn't cool.
Lots of people wanted to see them play, and a few assholes ruined it for
em.
I repeat they shouldn't of beaten that kid up. Violence isn't an answer.
Oh and by the way, about me being a trend jumper, I just wanna say "Fuck
you!" I don't need that shit from some holier-than-thou hardcore god who
feels that anyone trying to discover something new is just a poseur.
Your the type of dicks that keep people from accepting some hardcore
attitudes, and hardcore itself. Sorry for the rant but what you said to

I have one other thing to say. If you think that I'm trend jumping you
are sorrily mistaken. If I was trend jumping right now based on what's
'cool' in my town I should be sitting here in cowboy boots and tight ass
jeans, and a No Fear shirt tucked in, with the sleeves rolled up a bit.
Also, I wouldn't be in this newsgroup, I'd be in alt.music.Garth_Brooks.
Or I could be into that 'underground' stuff like Green Day or Offspring,
or maybe I could really get hard and listen to Fat Wreck Cords, but that
probably be a little far for my town. That or I could follow MTV and
listen to Hootie and the Blowfish, or maybe Alanis. Oasis and Bush would
be cool too.
I'm going to tell you about my town. It's a small town (about 1900
people) in Saskatchewan, Canada. I'm considered a freak because of the
way I dress and the music I listen to (most of the people in town who've
heard it consider it satanic, and they were hearing like SNFU, I should
let em hear Submission Hold). In this town for people like me there is
my best friend and our little brothers. There is a little contingent of
punks growing that are about five years younger than me, however, most of
em are Fat Wreck Cords kids, and they're fucked up on drugs.
I go into a Regina probably an average of once every two weeks for a
show. The biggest shows we've had here recently have been Lagwagon and
Strung Out. Both of which are heavily attended by jocks there to mosh.
They wreck the whole thing. The best shows are the hardcore shows I
attend (I Spy, and . . .But Alive kicked so much ass). These shows
average probably about fourty people. I've attended shows (Mexican Power
Authority, Bucko, etc.) that had about a dozen people at them. Actually
in the basement (we have shows in these guys basement because they can't
afford a real venue) for MPA there were maybe eight people.
I hope you have a sense of what we go through for a show and some good
music. I'm not trend hopping, I'm hopping away. Thanx for your time.

P.S. I meant shouldn't of. . .

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.

okay....a "money issue"? Come on...this doesn't make any sense to me.
If I was in a band and wanted to rake in money, I wouldn't be on an
ndependent label and playing shows at colleges and VFW halls & stuff...I
would be on Roadrunner or Sony or something like that playing arenas with
Metallica or White Zombie or something. (And that's probably not even a
guarantee of anything...Into Another opened up for White Zombie on a few
dates, and I don't see them buying mansions or anything). I don't think
that Earth Crisis, either in terms of message or musical style, is going
to be making massive amounts of money.

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.

Man, who shit in your Rice Krispies. You can't possilby accept that
someone else has an opinion that may contradict those that fit into your
little world. Well, I'm sorry that I'm not just like you. Go start your
own little newsgroup where everyone must agree with you, and if they
don't, you get to kill them or something. Oh no wait, no violence, you
just get to call them down until maybe they cry.

You know, people are always going to be disrespecting you if you get up on stage
and say something of pertinence, but you should deal with it in a non-violent way,
people will respect you more. All the kids out here in so cal who defend EC's right to
say somethin' without being harassed are/were always the same kids who gave Unashamed
crap for talking about christianity. These kids do all kind of stupid things like throw
pennies at them and just plain harass them. Censorship sucks and we should respect what
people are saying or at least their right to asay it regardless if we agree or not. If
Earth Crisis doesn't like getting crap from people, they shouldn't give crap to other
people either. If you don't respect someone elses right to an opinion then why should
they respect yours.
