Slayer<\/a>\u2019s concert Saturday at Los Angeles\u2019 Kia Forum was paused mid-show so singer Tom Araya could reprimand some unruly fans in the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\t\u201cThe fire marshal said we\u2019re gonna pause. We\u2019re gonna pause until you guys get your shit and your act together,\u201d Araya told the fans in the arena seats. \u201cThere\u2019s no one to blame but you. You know who I\u2019m talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThe admonishment came just seven songs into Slayer\u2019s North American tour-ending performance; after dusting off tracks like \u201cGod Send Death,\u201d \u201cBloodline\u201d and \u201cThe Antichrist\u201d for the first time live in nearly a decade, Slayer fans apparently got too hyped, which sparked safety concerns and a five-minute cool-off.<\/p>\n
\n\tIt was during that timeout that Araya addressed the audience. \u201cQuiet! I just need your attention. I don\u2019t know how many times I had this conversation when we first started playing fucking huge places, I kept telling everybody, \u2018Man, you gotta fucking maintain yourself. You can\u2019t start destroying shit, because they\u2019ll shut this shit down,\u2019\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cListen, if you guys wanna have fun, you have fun right down here in front of us. Do it over here where there\u2019s nothing you can destroy except each other. When you start doing shit on the outside of the line over there, they\u2019re gonna shut the place down.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThe line,\u201d as Araya suggested, was the arena seating area, where the more casual fans were likely sitting, and where moshing and body-slamming is probably unsafe.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cYou guys get so fucking crazy you start hurting each other,\u201d Araya said. \u201cI know it\u2019s hard to fucking contain yourself, it\u2019s hard to fucking maintain yourself, I know that. But you have to be respectful of the people around you, especially if you\u2019re sitting in fucking seats.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tAraya also suggested that some fans were destroying the arena, and \u2014 when it comes time to pay for the repairs \u2014\u00a0it\u2019s the band that foots that bill.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re in a time when there\u2019s no consequences for the shit you fucking do. We need consequences. If you guys keep that shit up, we\u2019re gonna go home, and hope you guys don\u2019t do it next time we come,\u201d Araya warned.<\/p>\n\n\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n
\n\t\u201cHave you ever heard me talk to you like this? So you need to get your fucking heads on straight and behave like human fucking beings unless you\u2019re in this fucking area in the front.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThankfully, despite the initial round of boos and chants of \u201cOle, ole,\u201d the crowd respected Araya\u2019s call for chilling out, and the Slayer concert continued without incident, including a show-closing performance of Reign in Blood<\/em> in full and a \u201cBlack Magic\u201d encore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nSource link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Slayer\u2019s concert Saturday at Los Angeles\u2019 Kia Forum was paused mid-show so singer Tom Araya could reprimand some unruly fans in the crowd. \u201cThe…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":77214,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop","article","has-excerpt","has-avatar","has-author","has-date","has-comment-count","has-category-meta","has-read-more","thumbnail-"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
