Im with you guys about the rasmus, theyre just a band, dont like it then fuck off, hate the whole indie snob thing too.

50 cent? deserves it, he's a cunt, I'd bottle him too. Going on about how many guys hes shot, how many girls he's raped, should be in fucking prison, he's an arsehole, someone hit him right in the bling.

i felt sorry for the rasmus cas they got bottle by the crowd they're trying to appeal to, fiddy cent has nothing to be sad about cas he was playing to the wrong crowd. I'd just hate for that to happen to me i kinda felt sorry for 50 cent aswell at points

You can all sit and slag off 50 Cent and say pathetic things like "Yeah I'd hit him" But meanwhile he's relaxing in luxury with his millions - And who gave him his millions. We did. Probably because he's talented, striking to look at and came from nothing to make it big. Even the dumbasses who threw stuff at him on stage are making hime more money by giving him more publicity. If I was him I'd have walked off the stage too. What, do you think he should have waited around to get hit? Naw, he thought, FUCK THIS, STANDIN HERE WHILE BOTTLES GET THROWN AT ME - I'M GOIN TO MY 5 MILLION DOLLAR CRIB WHERE I CAN ROLL AROUND IN ALL THE MONEY THESE FUCKWITS HAVE THROWN AT ME INSTEAD.

Exactly, go and see or do something you do like, there are other stages apart from the main stage.

I agree wholeheartadly

if you dont like the band, dont turn up, no one if forcing you to, many rasmus and 50 cent fans will be annoyed and how would u like it if that was you on stage?

Did I miss the 6th stage? I thought there was just the main stage, Radio 1 Stage, Dance Arena/Concrete Jungle, Carling Stage and the Comedy Stage.

Can't be too hard on them, it WAS their first festival. I enjoyed it though. :-D Ah well, music's all down to opinion anyway. I can't believe I spelt Bloc Party wrong. Shameful...

Yeah i saw the guy with the chair, he was actually pretty small.

50 Cent does have a song where he says he raped 12 Women. It's off his debut EP "I Raped 12 Hoes" and it's track four called "I Raped Twelve Women, Dogg".

Considering you sound like a "fiddy" fan, I'm surprised you didn't know.

He did hit some kid standing on someone shoulders, but that was with a bottle.

who would book him for the metal day anyway

But surely people complaining about it being a 'chart outing' there obviously haven't heard of lesser known bands who don't make the charts, or they would be off seeing them rather than going to watch the only people that they've heard of even if they don't like them?

"people who pay over 100 pounds for 3 days in the mud in august and go to see the rasmus or 50 cent can throw what they fucking well want"

Wow, thanks for that sparkling piece of logic. You're right, it *is* all about the money, after all - that "over 100 pounds" you've paid for a festival that features over 150 different acts of one kind or another *totally* gives you the right to react in whatever way you want if the weather's bad (you paid for sun, didn't you?!) and you don't like two of those 150+ acts. Of *course* the ticket price includes a free pass for you to lob bottles at performers (probably hit another punter, but never mind - you paid your money, you get to do what you like, right?), or maybe set fire to stuff or smash up a stage or whatever. You PAID to be here, so you've got the right, yes?

Presumably when your boss hands you your wages (if you have/ever get a job), if it's raining a bit and he doesn't like the trousers you're wearing, you'll be totally happy about him punching you repeatedly in the face then, eh? He's paid his money, he can do what he likes, right?

Twat.

its not snobbery, its just acting like a cunt.
i hate both acts, but nobody deserves that.
the moshers didnt beat fiddy pence him though, it was more of a draw. they destroyed the rasmus though. im almost convinced mean fiddler book poeple like this just to cause publicity, coz everyone but cent and rasmus knew this was going to happen...

You were doing so well until the third from last paragraph.

Re the 50 cent bottling. It was totally pathetic. Cheers to you Colin.

I can't claim to know anything about the rasmus happenings because i can't stand them therefore had avoided watching them, like you'd think people would do when there's at least 4 other things you could be doing instead. Obviously not.

I bought fiddy's album because I liked the single and then found I couldn't bear to play it more than once because it made me cross. I have no truck at all with misogyny and homophobia. However, we wanted to see him play to see if he was good live, because we wanted to see what he was like, because we're not closed minded brats who only like one style of music and because I really like in da club. And as Colin says, there is no way that crowd were booing because of his homophobia etc, it was pure pack mentality, some stupid white English sport. It was the kind of thing that does not create a good impression of the type of person that goes to Reading on a Sunday. The only time I have seen that happen before was Daphne and Celeste. And nobody could accuse that pair of 14 year old girls (or however old they really were) of being either misogynists or homophobic, it was entirely unjustified abuse by closed minded metal fans out for a bit of fun with someone who was in no position to fight back.

Anyway, back to fiddy, watching a bunch of pissed middle class twats throw bottles and boo like that made me so furious I wasn't able to enjoy watching any of the other bands on the night. Instead I stood there shaking with rage.

If you don't like him DON'T WATCH HIM. there were 4 other stages, umpteen bars, stalls etc. Avoiding all the other acts playing on those just to do that was the most pathetic thing that anyone who claims to like music could have done. You stupid pathetic little fucks. And it wasn't just "skinny teenagers" - the large group of 30+ year old people in front of us sitting there in their oh so fucking middle class folding fucking armchairs booing him and taking the piss out of how he was singing were the biggest bunch of mindless and quite possibly racist shits I have seen in a long time. Eminem is just as homophobic, just as sexist, and the Reading crowd loves him. Why? Maybe it is because he is white, therefore it's OK? Or (as I am loathe to believe that kind of racism could be endemic in people who like music) maybe only Green Day fans are quite so closed minded. I don't know. but it was WRONG.

It was particularly despicable because it only happened because some bunch of c!nts was going round the campsite earlier trying to organise his bottling off. So people weren't even booing him off their own backs, it was because someone told them to. Bunch of fucking sheep and cowards to boot. If anyone had the conviction to stand there booing an artist when the rest of the crowd were cheering that might have been different.

And the people waving St George flags at the streets can fuck the hell off too.

You might be able to tell I'm still fuming. I hope to god nobody I know was involved with that kind of behaviour.
