Skrillex Shut Down, Death at a Rave in Dallas

[keithace]

someone pulled the fire alarm...morons...in that event the fire marshal has to clear the place...

It's been happening forever. Some people can't handle themselves, and give a bad name to the entire scene/sub-culture. It's why those drugs are illegal in the first place, because the government here doesn't think people know how to deal with them correctly.

Don't get me wrong, I love events like this. But there is no way you get 50k people together, and someone doesn't go too far. It's just odds of gambling at that point.

But then again their being illegal is why the stuff that people can buy is laced with all kinds of horrible shit. The lethal dose of MDMA is pretty huge assuming it's pure, but when you mix it with all the other stuff people put in pills and call them 'ecstasy', the chance of something bad happening increases tenfold.

I think the fire marshal had to clear the place regardless. The other building at Fair Park was blocked off and only a few people were inside. I think Wolfgang Gartner played in front of 60-70 people. So everyone was crowded into Skrillex.

Some blame should lie with the Fire Marshall--he fixed one problem, but created the same one but worse

As pessimistic as this statement is, it's essentially the truth.

It might not be drugs it could be anything

A guy died at a gig in London from the Bass being too loud at a gig

The kid could of been sick or anything
With events like these drugs are always the first to be blamed

Such a shame tho to. Have his live taken no matter what the cause

[Tornesoul]

ahh... this sucks for everyone, the crowd, the dj. shame.

[aligned]

He...died from bass overdose? That's just hardcore as fuck.

[EchePalante]

I think without a real answer, nobody should be really blaming anybody. And if there was to blame somebody it would be the idiots who overdose on drugs and stuff because they chose to go that way, not anybody else. They know the risks.

No disrespect to the family of the deceased, but sometimes ppl just can't hang.
If you're gonna do illegal drugs like e, then u gotta at least buy before hand and test them for "bad" substances. the kits are legal to buy.

possibly a "bad batch", I guess.

need more water fountains?? shit. every event I've been to this last year, the water fountains are actually OFF. wtf. they just want you to spend money on water bottles and Monster.

I went to an LA event in August last year that went from 4pm until about midnight. It was 100 degrees. They RAN OUT OF WATER???!? No juice either bc it was sponsored by Red Bull. I passed out bc there was no re-entry so I couldn't drink any water. Whole new meaning to "crash from an energy drink".

Monster Massive 2008, my girlfriend's cousin got trampled right in front of me by an aggressive crowd. I had to punch ppl to stop them from walking over her.

Hard Summer 2010, ran out of H20 and no juice bc the event is sponsored by RedBull.

I was gonna go to EDC last year bc I had free tix. saw the videos. too many fucking ppl.

I was gonna go to EDC Vegas this year.. fuck that. Promoters/planners don't give a shit about anything except money.

Long Live Small Events!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
