I think some of you are seriously misunderstanding all this.

Normal concert behavior is expected!

We KNOW that people push and shove at concerts. Everyone expects that. That's normal.

Purposely pulling chunks of hair out of the person in front of you is NOT NORMAL. Note that I said purposely.

THAT is what people are warning against. That is what happened during the NY show. People were purposely hurting others so that they could get to the front.

Something similar happened last time HYDE came to the states. A group of Japanese fans (wearing spikes, I heard) were hurting and starting fights with other fans because they didn't think foreign fans deserved to be in the front. I believe there was almost a fist fight.

THAT is the behavior people are warning about. Abnormal, I-will-kill-anyone-to-get-to-HYDE behavior from basement dwelling fangirls with no social skills. (probably the same girls who think they're going to marry hyde).

So yes, NORMAL behavior (pushing, jumping) is fine, just not throat slitting.

Yes, you might be bruised and maybe scratched and that's fine. I'm a bit sore. But no one should get their teeth knocked out just because they are lucky enough to be in front of someone else.

Accidental injuries always happen. We're just discouraging purposely attacking others.

Also, I was at the front (2nd-ish row, almost 1st) at Baltimore concert and nobody tried to murder me. So if you think that behavior is normal you must go to some very violent concerts. But VAMPS in not exactly heavy death metal, so no one expects that.

Sonar security seemed pretty good too. They were right in front of us the whole time giving us water and whatnot. I saw them stop several people from filming/taking pictures (of course some people still got some, but they were farther back). They also pulled out anyone who wanted out. And I heard they stopped someone from crowdsurfing?

There was also the autograph session which may have helped people chill out a bit.

By the way, violent fans can be anywhere in the crowd. So it's not always people up front who get hurt.
