DEATH IN THE MOSH PIT

The Ybor City Corrosion of Conformity gig on Thursday night ended in bloodshed as four people were stabbed; one died [EDIT - see comments]. Trouble blew up in the mosh put when two women started scrapping. The dead fan was a thirty year old man; his wife is in hospital. Corrosion of Conformity issued a statement which appears to lament, well, this corrosion of conformity:

"In 20-plus years of gigging, we've never seen anything like this. It's sad that people can't come together for a good time, listening to music, without something tragic happening. We feel for the families of those attacked and wish success to Tampa law enforcement in their quest to solve this pointless crime."

(It's curiously worded, as it makes it sound like every time people come together, something tragic happens, but we imagine their minds were elsewhere.)

It's amazing that the other three who were also "stabbed to death" didn't die. :P

Yes... we had a Colemanballs moment, originally stating that "four people were stabbed to death; one died"
