I walked into a half-empty Guildhall to catch Anti Flag (the first time I’ve ever seen it this low on punters. If I were to guess I would say around 300 people) It was so empty there were people sitting on the floor whilst the band were playing, something akin to a festival in the open fields but never have I seen this inside a music venue before, intermission maybe, but whilst the bands are playing! How rude!
Bizarrely, a circle pit appeared despite the Buy serevent online lack of audience. During, “Fuck Police Brutality” the drums can be heard echoing around the room along with the bassline, The singer crowd surfs, despite the masses of notifications and warnings around the place saying you will get ejected if you crowd surf. Upon returning to the stage, they break into “Should I Stay Or Should I Go?”, stopping the song mid chorus Levitra generico to shout at the people still sitting down. buy drugs online
At the end of the set, the drummer decided to go for a wander and started playing from the crowd, something I’ve seen with singers and guitarists before but never a drummer… however, it all seemed to take an age to set up. Maybe next time guys, if you’re gonna do it, have a spare set on stand by.
I had my 3 songs in the camera pit for Less Than Jake, then headed to the back of the venue scrambling across all the beer bottles, crisp packets and 14 yr olds, strewn across the floor.
Following “All My Friends Are Metalheads” the bouncers help to drag a couple onstage, who were then made to stand apart, on opposite sides of the stage, walk towards each other and make out to “Look What Happened” Chris from Anti Flag came on and helped sing along with the chorus.

They then played “Nervous in the Alley” The whole band have so much fun onstage, as do the crowd with syncro beer throwing and a huge circle pit formed full of emotional teens spanning the whole room. Vardenafilo levitra Levitra reviews
There was a 2 song encore starting with “Johnny Quest Thinks We’re Sellouts” and “The ghosts of You and Me” The sound still seemed slightly muffled!

Another gig over, I walked out to find a Buy Cialis Online guy who had earlier harassed the pit crew being watered down by paramedics and the police with some annoyed looking friends by the side of him, The trouble with Southampton guildhall gigs is that it always seems to attract young people that let the side down and ruin their friends nights.
empty? I was at the front so i wasn’t exactly looking behind but i wouldn’t say empty.
and also when pat came into the crowd it was amazing, i understnad only guiatrists/singers genrally do it, by why not? but i did get hit in the head by the drum kit, the drummer, and the bassist and bunch of crowd surfers, but i have to say anti-flag were awesome. (:
Hey
I was the guy on stage with my new fiancee, you didnt by any chance get pics or vids?
WE NEED EVIDENCE ;D
Hiya Dave, Unfortunately we have to stop using our cameras after the first 3 songs at the Guildhall, So I was unable to capture the moment. However there were around 300 witnesses to it and I can vouch that it did happen !
