Sex Pistols frontman Frank Carter has addressed fans who were ‘offended’ after he berated a bloke who invaded a women-only mosh pit at the band’s concert in Colorado.

The musician, 42, shared a series of posts on Instagram telling ‘incels, homophobes, misogynists, racists, fascists’ that they are not welcome at the gigs in wake of the row that erupted at their Denver show.

Footage of the incredible moment that he called out a concertgoer who disagreed with the concept of men being prohibited from joining in a mosh pit has been going viral online.

Carter publicly scolded the fella on Friday (9 October) for muscling into an area at the Ogden Theatre that he had specifically designated as a ‘safe environment‘ for female fans.

Before the band began playing their hit ‘No Feelings’, he explained to the crowd that women would be able to dance freely without the fear of ‘getting an elbow to the face’ or ‘being groped by some Neanderthal’.

But the Hemel Hempstead-born singer’s speech was then interrupted by an unruly attendee who complained about it.

Addressing the man from the stage, Carter said: “What’s the matter? No listen, shut the f**k up. Just stop f**king talking… Every time, there’s always a f–king man that tells me, ‘[Women] can do this all the f**king time’.

“Like, they can’t! They f**king can’t! Do you know why? Because they walk in the mosh pit and they get a f**king elbow to the head by a f**king idiot!

“You’re shaking your head like you’re a f**king woman? Are you f–king stupid? It’s not your lived experience, so just shut the f**k up!”

Footage appears to show that the man continued to take issue with the Sex Pistols giving women an exclusive space, prompting Carter to urge him to leave – before subsequently asking security to escort him out.

Beware, as this clip contains strong language:

Fans of the punk rock band cheered in response, while the ladies moshed to their hearts content when Carter, guitarist Steve Jones, bassist Glen Matlock and drummer Paul Cook launched into ‘No Feelings’.

Carter then told the crow that it’s the ‘bare minimum you should expect from every single band you go and see’, adding: “Now, for the rest of the gig, the dance floor belongs to everybody,” he added. “Have fun, be safe!”

Social media users have also heaped praise on Carter for calling out the wayward bloke – and the singer has now revealed that the father of this concertgoer has been in touch with him to apologise.

On Saturday (10 October), he took to his Instagram Stories to double down on his previous comments, writing: “If you are a man who gets offended by a band making room for a female only mosh pit then you are PART OF THE PROBLEM. Stay home, read a book by Bell hooks, come back when kindness, compassion and empathy have landed with you. Incels, homophobes, misogynists, racists, fascists not welcome.”

‘If it isn’t your lived experience, don’t f**king speak on it’

“Also, this isn’t up for debate,” Carter continued. “I don’t care for your pedantry. If it isn’t your lived experience, don’t f**king speak on it.

“If you are offended by being told something isn’t for you then imagine how it feels to be a woman in the current climate. And finally…When I say a ladies only mosh pit, I of course mean a trans-inclusionary space. The space is for people who don’t usually feel safe…To dance and have fun without the worry of physical, sexual or psychological violence being used against them while they are vulnerable.”

He urged his 136,000 followers to ‘not let them divide us’, before sharing a screenshot of a lengthy message he had received on the final slide.

Carter received a message from a man claiming to be the fan’s father, who wanted to apologise for his ‘idiotic’ son’s behaviour.

It said: “Wasn’t how he was raised, wasn’t what he was taught. His sisters learning of his stand are very upset with him, as am I.

“Unfortunately, this is what has happened in our country and the misinformation and poison that has been spewed into young and old people has infected and affected our country.”

The man said he had been stood in the balcony at the Ogden Theatre and didn’t realise his son was the one rowing with Carter until after the show.

He added: “I watched the women during their time and saw all of them having so much fun, and I wonder years from now what they will do from your encouragement to try something they may have always wanted to but didn’t feel safe trying to do. All small acts are important! Keep it up and best to you and the band.”
