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.
