1988 At the Monsters Of Rock festival at Castle Donington, England, two fans are killed during a set by Guns and Roses, whose frontman Axl Rose had implored the crowd, " Don't fucking kill each other. "
With the ground wet and a record crowd of 107,000 at the festival, the surge of bodies during the set causes the two fans to be trampled or crushed to death.
The band are devastated when they hear about the deaths. They had repeatedly paused while fans were extricated from the crush, and played slower numbers when they returned to the stage after the ambulance crews attended to the victims, but it is only after the show has finished that they learn of the full, tragic circumstances. Alan Dick, 18 and Landon Siggers, 20 were crushed into the mud 15 feet from the stage and pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.
Rae Bangs the head that will not bang and screams "METAL UP YOUR ARSE!" at anyone who will pay attention.

I've never enjoyed the crush at the front of metal gigs. I tend to hag out just behind the mosh pit. I must be old :-/
