A heartless concert goer “seriously burned and disfigured” a young girl in the crowd at SOUNDWAVE Festival!

This should never happen! According to MusicFeeds.com, a member of the audience at Soundwave 2013 in Sydney smuggled in a magnesium flare, and the ignited it in the middle of the crowd during either METALLICA's set or Bring Me The Horizon's set, and “seriously burned and disfigured” a young girl in the crowd, according to promoter AJ Maddah.

Reports are unclear at this stage but it seems that there were TWO flares lit tonight at Soundwave Sydney, one during each bands set.

As expected, AJ has launched an all-out assault on this idiot, calling for blood. “Dear piece of shit who lit the flare in BMTH pit: Tonight you seriously burned and disfigured a young girl. I hope you fucking get yours,” he tweets. 

Twitter user @DanielTome tweeted, “Some idiot just lighted a flare during Metallica #soundwave he got hosed down.”

Maddah is calling for action from Soundwave attendees: “If anyone can correctly identify this son of a bitch I will shower you with so much tickets, backstage and cash you wont know what to do.” He also asks those who see anyone with a lit flare to take a photo and pass it on to him so he can give it to the authorities.

At this stage, there is no news on the condition of the girl, other than that she has been “seriously burned and disfigured” with a “massive, awful burn on her forearm”.

Know more? Let AJ know on Twitter.

Note: AJ is already tweeting he has “multiple angles” of the alleged perpetrator. Keep them coming!

LINKIN PARK: 1 Fan Dead, Dozens Injured At A Concert In South Africa!

This just in! Tonight (November 7), tragedy struck in Cape Town, South Africa, during a stadium concert featuring LINKIN PARK. Reportedly, one female fan died and about 20 others were injured when an advertising structure collapsed prior to the concert due to high winds.

So what caused this horrible accident? Apparently, the wind gusts caused a temporary scaffolding structure to collapse onto fans who were heading towards the concert venue. What is very appalling to to us is that the show went on as scheduled. Linkin Park learned of the tragedy shortly after the concert ended.

The band was performing in South Africa as part of their International Linkin Park Underground Summit in which they interact with fans. Here is the statement posted by the band shortly after they got off the stage on their Facebook page.
  
"Following our performance tonight at Cape Town Stadium, we were advised that several people were injured as a result of the collapse of an advertising tower erected by Lucozade in the parking area outside the venue.   

"We wish to express our deep sadness and concern for those injured and our heartfelt condolences to the family of the fan who died as a result of her injuries.
   
"Though we have had no relationship with the sponsor or the entity responsible for erecting the structure, we take the safety of our fans very seriously and our thoughts are with all of those who were affected by this tragedy.

Prior to the news of the concertgoer’s death, Cape Town authorities released this statement:

"Twenty concert attendees were injured at the Cape Town Stadium this evening when a temporary scaffolding structure in the stadium precinct collapsed due to high winds. The injured were treated on scene and have been taken to nearby hospitals for further medical attention.”

Here is some footage of the incident:



Our thoughts and prayers go out to the fans families and friends!

Tragedy Strikes The New York City Heavy Music Scene: Rock In Peace Harry Dullys!

      Photo by: Dee Fago

This past weekend, the New York City Heavy Music scene was struck by tragedy when news about the passing of Harry Dullys surfaced throughout the internet. Harry who was of Haitian descent, was a HUGE influence on all of the local music community as not only a devoted fan and supporter of all things related to the scene, but he truly represented the essence of this ever-growing scene through the music he wrote with his band FATE STRIKES TWICE!

Harry was also devoted to making people healthier as a fitness instructor (he worked at REEBOK Sports Club). He was also a joyful guy who was always encouraging others to better themselves. His words of wisdom were always accompanied by a radiant smile and an addictive laugh. We got the chance to see Harry dominate the stage various times, and there is no question that he is crushing it up in heaven! Our hearts go out to Harry's family, friends and all of the fans of FATE STRIKES TWICE.

So what happened to Harry? 

According to the ST. JOHN VALLEY Times: "The body of a missing man, believed to have drowned, has been recovered.

"At approximately 4:30 p.m. yesterday, the Maine Warden Service was called to search for a missing swimmer on East Grand Lake.

"Harry Dullys, 39, of New York, NY was staying with his wife at a camp on Moon Island in Danforth. This area of East Grand Lake is the southern portion of the lake known as “the arm.”

"Dullys was attempting to swim to Loon’s Nest Island, a distance of about 200 yards, according to a press release from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.

"Dullys had been swimming with a labrador retriever. Dullys’ wife noticed the dog continuing to the island but Dullys could not be seen, the warden service reported. Numerous game wardens and a Warden Service aircraft responded to the scene and conducted a search for Dullys.

"Late in the evening, utilizing side-scan sonar technology, wardens identified what they believed to be Dullys’ body.

"At daybreak today, numerous members of the Maine Warden Service Dive Team conducted a dive operation and recovered Dullys’ body in 19 feet of water near Moon Island. The body was turned over to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

"The Maine Warden Service was assisted at the scene by Downeast EMS, Danforth Fire, and Maine Guide Mark Danforth."

Here is one of Harry's last performances with this band FATE STRIKES TWICE:



If there is one thing that everyone can learn from Harry, is that life is too short to waste it away! Follow your passion and don't let anyone slow you down. And if they do, just give them the middle finger!

Harry: we thank you for everything you did for the entire Heavy Music scene! Rock in PEACE, and rest assured that we will not let your flame be extinguished! \m/
