Apparently Tuesday night wasn’t just another show for Against Me! According to witness reports, the venue, a place in Rochester, NY called Water Street Music Hall was charging exuberant amounts of money for tickets. An angry Tom Gabel then demanded that the venue refund ticked prices to fans, and then proceeded to call out the venue onstage (in a rant that included an awful lot of “Fuck You’s!), resulting in scuffles between fans and security guards. During said scuffles, house lights coming up, guitars and mic stands were thrown into the crowd, and presumably, the show ended early.
Read the transcript from Gabel’s “speech” here, and check out his Twitter comments here.
Gabel: “…but to this piece of shit, scumbag fucking venue overcharging you people for a measly 2 fucking dollars? Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. FUCK. YOU! If you guys didn’t get a refund from this shithole come out to our van after the show and we’ll give you your money back.”
