Nobody tells Kanye West what to do, but he can certainly tell fans.

The rapper caused a commotion Friday night after stopping his concert in Sydney, Australia, because some fans wouldn’t stand up at the show.

1. That's a misleading subjectline regarding what happened.

[LiberalElite]

2. how so?

[Hissyspit]

4. He quit singing to demand everyone stand up, including someone he didn't know was

in a wheelchair. He didn't demand someone he knew was in a wheelchair stand up.

He made an ass of himself, but not in the way your subject line implies.

Your subject line is not wrong, but it's not right, either.

6. guilty as charged and he's still

a full of himself d**k.

[Hissyspit]

7. Well, yeah.

3. Really? I'd give benefit of the doubt, but it does appear he made the demand & error...

5. See post #4.

8. “Y’all want to stand up or y’all want to get removed?” Classy.

If you have to demand your audience express enjoyment, it's probably because you're not putting on an enjoyable show.

12. EXACTLY.... He's a self absorbed jackass

And I'll take this opportunity to remind everyone of the ass he made of himself at the 2009 Emmy awards when he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech.

11. Metal fans know how to treat fans in wheelchairs.

See the video at 3:37

BTW, Mayhem Festival rules!!!

13. Error in the video...Pine Knob is not Detroit...it's CLARKSTON!

And not the corporate sellout name "DTE Energy Music Theater"!

Now get in the pit and try to love someone!!!

14. Either way, they did a nice Wall of Death.

I'll be at Mayhem next year...a 5 year tradition for this metal fan.

The pits are amazing...the video doesn't do them justice (much more brutal).

I was in a Figure-8 pit for Slipknot that year in San Berdoo....talk about contact!!!

On edit: good to see someone appreciates some good metal crowds.
