Turns out the bands we go to see have had enough of the mindless mosh pit violence as the rest of us.
At a recent show in Australia, Placebo front man Brian Molko noticed a rowdy group of fans starting a fight, so he cut the music, put down his guitar and literally stopped to tell them off.
Then, when one of them flipped him the middle finger, it was the final straw.
"Wanna give me the finger?" he said.
"All of you, you're all leaving... yeah especially you, baseball cap backwards," he said, stopping to wait for security to get to the troublemakers.
