AND YOU THOUGHT KARATE KICKING IN THE PIT WAS ANNOYING

Sometimes you hear about somebody doing something so unbelievably stupid that you feel stupider just having heard about it; that you wonder how that person’s parents ever managed to potty train him; that you wanna go out and sign a petition bringing back electroshock therapy in asylums everywhere, because holy SHIT, somebody needs to school this dude ASAP.

This is one of those times.

According to Lambgoat, yesterday’s Sound and Fury Festival in Santa Barbara was cut short before a handful of bands — including Earth Crisis and Bane — could even play, because what was either a small riot or a large fight broke out, apparently after some dude decided that this was a good idea:

And, uh, what did this guy think was gonna happen if he brought a motorcycle into the pit? Maybe Halford could get away with that shit, but not just some random dude. Dumb dumb dumb dumb.

I gotta say, if I went to a festival where Earth Crisis were playing and then I didn’t get to see Earth Crisis because someone pulled this shit, well, I’d be pretty pissed.

If any readers were there and have more details, drop us a line. In the meantime, read more at Lambgoat.

  • Honeynutzz

    when did the world get so fucking fun.

  • Heywood

    Did he sneak it in under his jacket?

  • Anthony

    Security should have made him check his motorcycle with the coats and bags

  • gauche

    he’s wearing a silver wrist band which apparently meant he was either in a band or part of a band’s crew.

    it was the cops that shut it down. nobody was hurt or anything so i don’t really blame motorcycle guy. that’s actually pretty funny.

    • stu1

      I’ve read that the dude was friends with Backtrack, who were playing at the time, and they encouraged it, and people there, including most of security knew it was going to happen.

      • gauche

        yes, i also read that there was a security gaurd causing problems all weekend and he was asked to not work that day and then he showed up anyway.

        but i wasn’t there this is just what i read. that picture doesn’t really make it look like it was a bad thing.

    What an ass clown….but I lol’ed.

  • metalcupcakes

    you got to admit that is pretty awesome.

  • Cryzthormagnusian

    The only thing I ever found more annoying than the kickboxers was the brief trend of naked moshers that started happening at hardcore shows. This would probably beat that though.

  • DemonicLemming

    It’s like a crowd-wide “Derp!”

  • gnarlk

    he was just doing the world a favour by stopping the pain of hearing smurf crisis

    That’s totally awesome but it sucks that the show got shut down because of it. He should’ve started a circle pit.

    Without the context, this pic has all the makings of an “Epic Win” or some bullshit image macro.

  • Gamegodone

    Fucking motorcycles!
    How do they work?

    • Jackson

      sometimes icp jokes just dont work. fucking pits, how do they work would of been much better, but still weak.

        icp jokes, how do they work?

  • BASSQUATCH

    Haha I couldn’t help but notice that big guy in the white shirt charging after him.

  • Cryzthormagnusian

    I’ll say one thing for him, he almost got a good imitation of Bubba Zanetti down.

  • Vlygar

    This should be the next photo caption contest.

      Exactly what I was about to say.

  • Joshie

    You know, you made me realize how awesome it would be in Halford just rode his motorcycle up into random pits at random metal shows. I’d just be so badass.

    • Double D

      Learn to write in a manner that makes some semblance of sense, Joshie-poo.

  • Double D

    Look at Verne Troyer there in the bottom right corner.

    I miss the days of circle pits, pile ons, and stage dives. My idea of fun isnt 300 kids standing around in a circle, while 5 douche bags to windmills and spin kicks. BORING!!!

  • Gilbert

    Listen here, i was at thrash & burn last night thinking it would be worth sitting through the mindless repetitive bands that exist today with the unmistakable breakdown after breakdown, i was there to see born of osiris. Never in my life have i ever hated a creature so much, hardcore dancers must be isolated.

  • ITTOA666

    I’d say that this is better than hardcore dancing in the pit. It’s pretty damn original.

  • change

    up the motorcyclx

  • >_>

    This moment would have been even more epic if instead of some random douche being on the motorcycle there was some random hot chick in a 2 piece.

  • Slaughterhouse

    Ninja pitting is the worse…I can’t stand that shit!

  • DirtyWarriorMan

    How exactly does a motorcycle in the pit start a fight? If I was there, I woulda been like, wow, that’s hilarious, and then watched the band play.

    • stu1

      It didn’t. The fight started when some security went after the guy who’d just ridden through the venue.

  • David

    Kids These Days…

    When I was your age, the only thing you could ride in the pit was a fuckin’ drunk skin head.

    And I had to walk 2 miles in the snow!!!

    HOLY SHIT!

    Look how pasty pale white that bald motherfucker in the bottom right is.

  • Vhmt9000

    I don’t understand the issue.. he is wearing a helmet.
