Lawsuit Filed In Connection With 'Noisy' KORN Concert - Dec. 22, 2004

The Environmental Protection Commission of Hillsborough County filed a lawsuit Tuesday in connection with a Dec. 7 concert by KORN at the open-air Ford Ampitheatre at the Florida State Fairgrounds, which generated higher noise levels and more complaints than any other concert, according to the St. Petersburg Times. The EPC is asking for a temporary halt to amphitheater events and hefty fines against Clear Channel Entertainment and the Florida State Fair Authority for past noise violations.

"What we've been doing so far isn't sufficient," said Rick Tschantz, general counsel for the EPC. "Every time we have a concert, we have a violation."

A circuit court judge must review the lawsuit and decide the next move. Because of the holidays, Tschantz said, that is unlikely to happen before early January.

At an emergency EPC meeting on Dec. 9, County Commissioner Ronda Storms launched into a tirade against KORN and Clear Channel, suggesting that EPC officials should be on hand at all concerts to make sure noise levels are legal.

"We should have been standing there on the stage ready to pull the plug and make it stop immediately," Storms said at the meeting. Read more.

	In the case of Corn, I'll be glad to support the enviromental protection commission - after all, they ARE noise.

	At Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Concord, North Carolina there are apartment complexes all around the venue - some of them are so close that you could actually sit on the balcony and have a damn good view of the event. Regardless, it's a silly situation but I guess it's to be expected in America, where having a grievance means going to court. It's not like these people are being constantly bombarded with noise. I used to live near a set of train tracks: Did I sue the railroad company when a train came through at 2 AM? No, I dealt with it until I had enough money to move.

	COMMENT \| EASY HUMOR SHIT, thanks to BORI'S PENIS posted by : mrpunchy 12/22/2004 11:12:24 AM

	That was too easy. The more you'll complain about Korn, the more I'll convince myself that they're not too bad after all.

	although i really think they should be sued for putting out such shitty music for the past decade or so

	COMMENT \| What the Fuck! posted by : Ashy_Larry 12/22/2004 3:58:21 PM

	You can file suit over anything these days. These peolpe should have turned down the volume to the hearing-aids. Live music is supposed to be loud. Thats something you should think about when you buy a house/rent near an Ampitheatre. Jesus Christ

	COMMENT \| hah posted by : Pod 12/22/2004 4:02:57 PM

	they should be sued simply for being korn

	COMMENT \| Agreed Korn should be... posted by : KMADD 12/22/2004 4:54:42 PM
