COB at Wacken!!!

I go to mosh pits to punch those asshole pit ninjas.

At Download Festival me and my mate went to the MpSpace tent (ugh) and threw bottles at them and the shit band, good times.
 
i've found that moshpits really aren't that dangerous, at least to me. i'm 16 but i'm fairly big and i mosh at almost every show. you just have to try really hard not to lose balance and fall or else you're fucked. another thing i've found if anyone wants to mosh but not get really hurt, during the later part of the show the pit dies down because everyone is so tired. the first song is always the deadliest.

I just got back from Wacken and let me say that COB put on a fantastic show!

They had 3 cars, a raised walkway in the back of the stage, fire and explosions!

They had a strong set list too! filled with songs I hadn't seen last year at Tillburg...
I'll post what I remember ( in no specific order)

Silent Night, Bodom Night
everytime I Die
Sixpounder
Downfall
Follow the Reaper
Deadnight Warrior
In You Face
Living dead Beat
Are you dead yet
Hate Me!
Hate Crew Death Roll
Needled 24/7
Chokehold
Angels Don't Kill
Towards Dead End

The intro was different... it was a cover of hate me! i think
awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the whole crowd was totally into it and was having a good time...same with the band...crystal clear and very tight playing :headbang:
I have plenty of pictures....i'll probably post in the Piccies section some other time when I make my Wacken photo album....so yeah...
any one else at Wacken on here please post what you thought of the show.

TOTALY AGREE!WILL SEND PICS THESE DAYS TOO!:heh:

I'm not surprised. Mosh pits are fucking dangerous, especially for 15-y/o girls. Hell, I'm relatively good at defending myself in those things, but fuck, there are times when there's nothing I'd like better than to get the hell out of there.

Yeah it is kinda dangerous...

What means damn crowd pushing all the time? That's how it's supposed to be at a good concert.
I'm a girl too and I had a lot of fun beeing waved around between row 3 and row 15. It was one of the best crowds I've ever been in. I fell 3 times and the guys imediately pulled me up. That's how it works.


with that crowd I mean, that they are all pushing to the front, so if you're in the front, they push you against the fence so you almost get crushed.
but I had a very good time, so I won't complain :)

I was there too, this show was just freaking awesome.....i met the guys in the FanCamp.....so yeah....

But i've heard a 15 year old girl died because of the Mosh Pits at COB's Concert......i mean, i'm not weak or something....but even i had to watch out.....this was sick.....
A girl died in the Limp Bizkit mosh pit too, if I remember. So then..
 
fucked up wacken!! I wished to badly to get there but I don't have a private jet, nor enough money to pay the train, nor a metalhead here around me to get there...fuck,fuck,fuck (I'm starting to do it like Alexi...saying 'fuck' all the time..."I love to say fuck when I'm driving in my car. Fuck when I'm walking in the fucking park. Fuck you if you don't like what I say, I love to say fuck every fucking day" Alexi listened to Murderdolls, I s'ppose)!!!

whay in the name of doom do I have to live so far away from wacken??:cry: :cry:
 
that a girl died was just a fucking rumor!!!!

it is NOT true!!!

i've postet it bevor i really have known what was going on, sorry for this!
 
Moshpits can be fun, depending on the band and the crowd. The best mosh i've ever been in was Sanctrum's (swedish black metal) show, everyone was so happy and it was alot of fun. But there have been times when some asshole just feels like elbowing your spine, but i guess you have to see that comming :erk:

I don't know. In the middle of the show I saw a guy carrying a girl and heading for the exit. That girl didn't look well, but she got probably "only" knocked out, I guess.

I saw him too, i think I'm thinking of the same guy, but the girl was still "alive" lol. he told me to be carefull lol...

i made a bunch of headbanging buddies in the mosh...just grab some random on the shoulders start flinging your hair, and you have a friend lol...

just fantastic....

Especially if it's Silent Night, Bodom Night! It was like an explosion in the crowd when they started playing it.

omg..cool i would have made it to wacken if i had money :erk:

@Mr.Proper ok its good that shes not dead...cuz that would have been horrible
 
To be fair that was one of the most insane pits I've ever seen in my life, let alone at Wacken. But still I didn't see anyone get badly hurt, and crowdsurfing to Hate Me was a great highlight for me :D

I wonder if they beat the 5000 crowdsurfer record.
 
I was in the COB fan camp, here are some pics :headbang:
