The frontman of American post-hardcore types Chiodos has said he hopes no one was offended at a bit of crowd banter he partook in during his set at the Download Festival last weekend. One fan was seemingly making suggestive hand gestures at him - I'm guessing the standard hand signal for 'wanker' - to which Craig Owens responded: "What, you want to do that to my dick? You're 11! I could get it out and it could reach you from here. But that would be illegal". After the event he told Gigwise he hoped the audience would take the remark as the harmless joke it was intended to be, observing: "If I made a remark like that in America, I'd have lost about 500 fans. Here in the UK, you guys are really cool and find that sort of shit funny. Thank God". Thank God indeed.
