FSU attacks chopping block door man[views:18733][posts:152]________________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 12:45pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] Last saturday whoever was working the door at the Block got his head smashed in with a padlock on a chain by the FSU because it was sold out and he wouldn't let them in. I don't know who it was yet though, I will try to find out today. |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 12:46pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] it was Bob Giroux. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 12:47pm - christraper ""] Hopefully theyll get the doorman at OBriens next |
| __________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 12:47pm - Lincoln ""] Dude thats fucking lame |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 12:48pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] The door guys at the Choppin Block are awesome, this pisses me off. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 12:51pm - Lincoln ""] Anyone getting attacked at a show is lame if you ask me...leave that part of your angst at home. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 12:51pm - christraper ""] indeed. whats the FSU? |
| __________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 12:53pm - Lincoln ""] Fuck Shit Up |
| __________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 12:55pm - Lincoln ""] Thats what it stands for |
| _________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 12:56pm - Assuck ""] that is the most retarded thing i've ever heard in my life. but which one is bob? |
| __________________________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 12:57pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] the FSU is when guys with waayyyyy tooo much testosterone get together and form a gang. The gang is all about heavy mosh parts and breakdowns and are a "crew" or a hardcore gang that listens to hardcore, supports hardcore bands, and goes to hardcore shows. They beat people up and protect their brotherhood. To ensure the safety of their tribe, they do cool stuff like: Beat up Moby and make a DVD about it Elbow my friend in the groin while he stood at a show Kick people in the throat at an Andrew WK show, especially short girls Threaten to kill people Shut down venues and more! Can someone give me some redeeming qualities of that "crew"? |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 12:57pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] Bob is the one who is younger, and isnt Daniel. He has short hair. I guess they hit him in the head 16 times with the padlock. Don't know how he is now. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 12:58pm - Lynneaus ""] :O |
| _________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 12:59pm - Assuck ""] oh i think i know which one that is. 16 times?! i thought they just clocked him once with it, but jesus christ thats even worse. keep us updated, joe. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:01pm - abhorred ""] thats fucked!!!....16 times? thats ICU serious.... im still a little confused as who bob is....is he the one that usually works our shows? |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:04pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] Yeah, I guess he was laying in a pool of blood. He was yelling something afterwards, but someone took him to hospital. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:05pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] Daniel is the one whose favorite band is Abhorred. Bob Giroux is the other younger guy who does the door from time to time, but tends to come to the shows from time to time even if not working. He has a really short hairdo, red head I think. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:05pm - RustedAngel ""] Lincoln said:Fuck Shit Up I thought it was 'Friends Stand United' hah, hah, hah... jk... I think they call it that when they want to make themselves seem like they are in the right. |
| __________________________________________________________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:06pm - litacore without a drummer and sure wishing she had one ""] I heard tell that the FBI is currently very VERY interested in watching these FSU guys lately |
| ________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:07pm - Assuck ""] good |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:07pm - RustedAngel ""] and why were FSU going to the chopping block? |
| ________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:08pm - Assuck ""] i dont know but i really hope its not a common occurence cause i dont feel like dealing with that shit |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:08pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] I don't know who played, Defcon4 was suppose to play but the show was shut down after that. Someone I know showed up just in time to see defcon4 and doesnt know who else was playing. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:09pm - Assuck ""] oh so it was this past saturday, the 15th? |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:10pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] the 25th |
| ________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:11pm - Assuck ""] thats what i meant |
| _______________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:14pm - moran ""] The was: Saturday, September 25th the Choppin' Block Bugs and Rats The Prowl Defcon 4 the Lovely Lads and Over and Out 9pm, 21+ Pretty much the gist of what happened. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:17pm - the_reverend ""] Defcon 4, The Prowl, Bugs and Rats, Over and Out(NC), Lovely Lads $5 9pm 21+ |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:25pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] Now I probably get to explain to the other Bob why they should continue to let me have metal shows there. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:27pm - Christraper ""] So FSU is an actual "gang" or is it just a common term for retarded hardcore kids when you get them in a group? |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:28pm - WhyamIandasshole ""] I was actually standing right next to the door when it happened. IT was wicked gay. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:29pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] It is a real gang, at it's center. I called Bob (the booking guy) the other night about a show in November and he said he can write me down for it now but might have to cancel it but would give me enough notice if he did. I wonder if this attack had anything to do with it. I remember when Bill's Bar got shutdown, I talked to the booking agents at the clubs I booked at and made sure they knew that our metal scene was in no way connected to the hardcore scene that always has fights and gets clubs shutdown. If the block stops doing metal shows I am not going to book anything else. |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:31pm - Josh_hates_you ""] weird about the padlock and the bandana. guess they dont use madballs anymore. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:33pm - the_reverend ""] 1) I read that message board and there is no mention of FSU in the account on t&p. 2) FSU gets blamed as some sort of CABAL whenever anything happens like this 3) I guess no one here went to shows in the 90's in boston to know that there were tons of skins at almost every single show being douchebags. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:34pm - succubus ""] that's lame to blame a group of people when the facts aren't even out |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:35pm - the_reverend ""] and I hope that bob's ok and that the block still has shows. I admit that FSU members do some over-the-top violence which I don't support, but at shows they mostly have a good time and dance hard with their friends. Some of their members started a club in brockton that is a fun time and they are working on getting metal shows there as well as the hardcore shows. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:36pm - Assuck ""] regardless of who did it, its retarded. its understandable that if someone is giving you shit, you want to beat their ass, whatever. but to hit a dude with a fuckin padlock X many times is just plain fuckin stupid and weak. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:36pm - Christraper ""] Hardcore is the most retarded bullshit in the world. Weve got a couple of those bands that practice in the same building as us. They all act like a bunch of tuffguys when theyre together untill you find one of them alone on their way to the bathroom and then all of a sudden theyre super nice and wanna shake your hand and shit. Gang mentality is for pussies. I hate it when people associate metal with hardcore. Metalheads act nothing like those vegan straightedge fratboy fucks. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:37pm - succubus ""] yes, it's too bad he got hurt like that... sucks ~~~ but why stereo type a group of people? lame |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:38pm - the_reverend ""] most of the FSU guys that I know are some of the nicest people until you fuck with their friends. But since this isn't about FSU and since the show was A PUNK SHOW, your bitching for no reason. say "man, this sucks and was retarded. I hope bob is ok and that shows still go on at the block cause that place is the coolest place for shows" and move on to another thread. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:38pm - Assuck ""] it's kind of sad that when something like this does happen, its automatically an FSU thing, but they brought that upon themselves by being the fucktards that they are. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:39pm - Christraper ""] stereotypes wouldnt exist if there werent a smidgen of truth involved. ill admit im guilty of almost every stereotype you could pin on a metalhead. |

FSU does shit like that, so why wouldn't someone automatically think it was them? 2.) Because it's usually them. Fighting is their only solution. Walking away, never because you're not tough that way. 3.) So what if there were tons of skin's being douchebags, you don't need to be a skin to be a douchebag. The Rat is gone probably because of shit like this aside from it being a pile. I know that these gang wars at shows got safe n' sound shut down many times. Rev, you say they're nice to you, but they know who you are... you go to their shows and take pictures of their bands. If you were just plain old guy, you'd probably be considered some "fag dungeons and dragons guy with long hair". |

| ________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:40pm - Assuck ""] i do hope bob is ok, and i do hope there's still shows at the block, cause we're screwed otherwise. but for christ's sake, i hate everyone. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:41pm - RustedAngel ""] big sis and bro, you guys have been watching waay too much boston beatdown. stop sticking up for them. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:41pm - Christraper ""] indeed |

The kid had an FSU tattoo on the back of his neck and was wearing an FSU jacket. |

| _______________________________________ [Sep 28,2004 1:44pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] Someone told me it was the FSU and unless I hear otherwise I will believe it was one of them. It was Jimmy Flynn's birthday show, and I think he is friends with alot of those FSU guys. The account on Tony and Pals is from people who are friends with the assailant. I know Bob, and I am sure he only got into an argument with them once they probably started arguing that they couldn't get in. Aaron, tell your friends to stop ruining the boston music scene with their elementary school recess activities. |
