How and when did we adapt the expression "Running of the Bulls" for MK (and DS?) concerts? Do fans of other bands call their rush to the stage: "Running of the Bulls"?? :think
-
I remember doing it on the STP tour.
OES and Golden Heart I was only at GA shows.
-
Running of the bulls already takes place forever. But I think this expression we use for the running came up in 2008 or 2010. I think Isaac used this word in one of his diaries.
Not sure about this, but that's what came into my mind. I don't think fans from other bands use this expression.

Maybe Spain, something to do with Spain a Spanish fan or a concert in Spain?

I agree, I first came across the phrase in Isaac's blog, and as I recall it was used in a negative context as there was the danger of being trampled in the stampede ;D !

This is great -- thanks for your replies. I will ask Isaac if this was something he came up with after seeing a Spanish show (or seeing the Spanish at a show) :D
-
I think at that time he indeed saw it as something negative. But I don't think it was at a spanish show, because most, if not all, shows in Spain are standing. So no running needed after running into the venue. I think he saw it happening and thought of the running in Pamplona or other places. Sometimes it's violent, most of the times it's just a friendly running to the stage.
-
Yes I also remember him using the term with regard to a little violent running...
Psychologically I would like to add as a kind of excuse: if you got bad tickets in presale and are sitting for most of the show in row 22 the pot within you to see MK a little closer towards the end of the show is boiling so hard, that...
-
that .... it's still no excuse to use your elbows.
Running is fine, but pushing and using elbows not.
-
Of course it is by no means an excuse to behave violently.
What I wanted is just to raise a little awareness in those who usually never sit worse than row two for those from far behind whose wish and pressure to see MK at least once a little closer builds up strongly during a show.
