I expected the band to come in person to announce the postponement or whatever. There would not have been a riot then, since the fans would believe them. But no one gives a damn what a third party says.

The bad arrangement is also to blame, lack of security and staff. As it is said that Metallica was not happy with the arrangements.

The fans who have sold an arm and a leg for the ticket, and who have travelled long distances to reach the venue and waited for hours for the show to begin deserve some courtesy. No wonder they were all pissed.

Besides DNA had organized Iron Maiden's Mumbai concert (The one in Flight 666) without any glitches.

The organizers are arrested for breach of trust. Honestly speaking the organizers should have expected such crowd and done the necessary arrangements. If organizers don't get their act together than such bands would be skeptical to come to India.

Guys, the fans are not to blame. Such sloppy arrangement will piss off anyone. Besides, these are not Bieber fans, if you piss them off, you are asking for it.

Sir, the crowd is the same everywhere. No one is going to disperse peacefully if you cancel a concert after making people stand in the line for 5 hours.

None,except a few Afro american jazz bands.

Can not agree more,I was fortunate enough to attend Hellfest this year,the crowd was really mad before Opeth took on stage,the organizers handled everything so professionally that not a single person/equipment was injured/damaged.Everyone was happy.
In our country police would have declared riot.

It doesnt bother me that it was a Metallicrap concert.

It bothers me that the fan reactions (vandalism) and the organizer's poor planning will bring a bad name for future concerts.

Their live performance was just perfect...and the crowd was so wild!!
Loved every second of it...and the Setlist was perfect..all my Favs were there...

Definitely the best rock concert I have seen!!

Jumping and headbanging to Enter Sandman was awesome!!!

Delhi surely missed it.

But then again, these are not Justin Bieber fans, who'd go home and cry. If you piss them off, you're asking for it.

Besides, the organizers were responsible for crowd control.
