Do people mosh to Opeth?

[Schraiber]

Seems like it'd be possible.. but... odd... what do they do when the slow parts come on?

 

[Static]

Distorted parts = mosh about.

Softer parts = everyone grasps their bosoms and hold lighters in the air and sway back and forth.

 

[Ermz]

Well do yourself a favour... put MAYH on and listen to Demon of the Fall, and tell me how you CAN'T mosh to that . For the acoustic parts, if it's a good show people will just watch in awe and sway their heads, but if its bad, they'll start talking over the top and growling etc. etc.

Mosh?....i used to be one for moshing but now headbanging and whipping my hair everywhere is the only thing i seem to do at gigs now. it rules.

 

[EvilGenius]

If I saw Opeth live, I'd be so stunned and happy the only thing I could do is tell the bouncers to let me back in when they try to kick me out for masturbating. It'd be so exciting I just might do that. Ayup.

ill know for sure on friday....... CAUSE IM SEEIN THEM LIVE!!!!!!

 

[IanDork107]

If I'm ever lucky enough to see them, I hope no motherfucker moshes.

That seems disrespectful to this fanboy.

I dunno, moshing to Opeth could be fun, if anything.

Mosh to heavy stuff,

Mosh to soft stuff,

 

[Ecto]

acoustics are good to let your body and neck relax after some time moshing during the heavy parts...that's the dynamic...that's what i do always.

"Do people mosh to Opeth?"

Unfortunately.

Really though, I like to watch them, like a hawk just...preform. I like to watch the plucks, their expressions, Lopez going like hell...I like to watch.

 

[Furious B]

I don't.

 

[somnium_in_tenebris]

As far as i saw,people were moshing heavily at the gig(Athens,6th of December).I was just speechless,breathless and lost,staring at the stage
At some moments,the crowd was singing so loud and kept banging them feet on the ground,that the band even stopped and clapped at the audience Unique moments,aye!

*hello kids,i'm new here*

Agreed...an Opeth performance demands total concentration.

 

[Triumphant Apostle]

You bet your ass they have at the two shows I was at! Most of the time it's just standing there and headbanging, but when they played Demon Of The Fall(which they have done both times I have seen them) the pit absolutely exploded during the heavy part!

 

[ShadowLioness]

Yeah...I have seen the act of moshing during an Opeth show...and then there were moments of awe and swaying...interesting mix.

 

[mindflesh]

I don't think I'd mosh at an Opeth gig. It could be fun, but I can have basically the same fun moshing to any other band that makes appropriate music - and if I mosh I can't really pay attention to the band (especially since I'm a lightweight and have to pay extra attention to 100kg-metalheads rumbling towards me )

...Well, during Demon Of The Fall I'd probably go with the crowd if there was a large pit

Actually, last year I remember Mike saying something just before the ending (where it's much heavier/great mosh part) along the lines of "go fkn crazy". I can't remember the exact words. Maybe someone else that went to the Worcester show last year.
