Fishbone Gets Sued For Stage-Diving!

Wow, this is not good...

'As one of the self-proclaimed pioneers of stage-diving, Fishbone front man Angelo "Dr. Madd Vibe" Moore has been perfecting his form for more than 25 years.

But his diving produced an unwilling ripple in his human sea while the band performed last month at the World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut St.

On Friday, a woman who was at that show filed a lawsuit against Moore, charging that he broke her collarbone when he launched off the stage onto the outstretched hands of the audience. Kimberly Myers, 42, of Voorhees, N.J., claims in the suit that she attended Fishbone's Feb. 23 show at the World Cafe's downstairs stage and that "without any warning," Moore dived off the stage and into the audience near where she was standing.

The suit claims that she also suffered a fractured skull, perforated eardrum and hearing loss and that she had to be taken from the venue by an ambulance.

Her lawyer, Neil Jokelson, declined to comment on how Myers was struck by Moore during his dive.

The lawsuit charges that Moore did not apologize to Myers and that instead, the band "continued its performance as if nothing had happened." '

that's plain silliness. People need to realize that when they go to a punk concert, there is a large chance that they will get hurt.
PUNK IS NOT FOR THE WEAK!
We go to shows and thrash.
I hope she's doing alright though.

It's a goddamn Fishbone show. Many of which I've enjoyed myself and he always let you know " Here I Come". What else would anybody expect, square dancing? Here in Chicago the brother jumped off the damn balcony . Oh did I forget to mention " IT'S A FISHBONE SHOW!!! " I also must quote " Ummmm.....Bullshit! "

What the Hell's a 42 yr old woman doing at a FishBone concert to begin with, except to pick up her son or daughter AFTER the show? Fuck her!
She's should've have had her weak-ass there to begin with! She must have very britter bones if all that shit's true.

Alittle advice from a veteran, honey: if you ever feel compelled to attend a SLAYER concert, you might want to stay out ov the circle pit.

On a lighter note, it sure is nice to hear that FishBone shows are becoming MORE violent, even if old people are the only ones getting crushed.
