Completely agree. I felt like just swinging at every young moron around me when none of them sung for "Bad Habit". Worst of all they actually looked at me like I was a nut because I started singing along on my own.
Time was when 16-18 y.o's wouldn't have dared gone up the front during someone like Offspring, let alone Metallica/Slayer/etc. That was for the grown ups who weren't afraid to get a black eye or bloody nose, and more fool you if you got caught up in it. When we got a circle going during Blink there were a group of hipsters who refused to get out of the way, and started screaming like banshees if anyone touched them. Nevertheless a group of shirtless gym junkies just tossed them aside anyway :lol:
The Offspring/Metallica clash really was the only downer of the day, largely because they simply didn't get the respect and crowd they deserved. They played a great set with plenty of old stuff that was simply lost on the children that were making up a majority of the crowd up front
