He's really quite yellow, isn't he? (my tale of Heathen Crusade)

[dorian gray]

If that fucking turd had whacked me one more time during the Moonsorrow set, we would have thrown down. In fact, Zod pretty much prevented me from breaking his jaw right then & there.

hahahaha the RC beat-down crew arrives

black eyes, bleeding noses, bruises... some hardcore dancing kid got royally shitbeat at the Vader show, like... bones. But thats cause he was alone and half the crowd thought he was a fag. I've only ever had bruises.

 

[dorian gray]

I missed that lesson in Pagan Iconography 401

hahaha, senior level PI. great class.

 

[lurch70]

lol @ people getting hurt in mosh pits. what kinda injuries are we talking about here?

broken bones, nice gashes, etc.

that Ministry show stopped dead cold in the middle of a song because some dude broke his fucking leg and the EMTs couldn't get to him b/c of the massive, violent pit

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Oh yeah, and then there was the time Big Hairy Dave & I got into a fight with like, 43 mexicans wearing studded armor during Immortal in NYC. Fucking christ I was drunk that night.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

I'm pretty sure i'm gonna go see ministry in may. Just trying to get one of my friends to come with.

 

[Erik]

yeah NO MOSH, NO CORE, NO TRENDS, NO FUN

i wouldn't want people to have FUN to certain kinds of music... they should stand in quiet contemplation and awe... or die

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

@Erik -- Yeah, some bands/songs are not mosh songs. Other songs are totally fucking mosh songs. It all depends on the band, the show and the crowd. Slayer and Anthrax and Vader (at least when I saw them) were very good examples of bands/shows that got the energy going.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

That's not my point. Some metal lends itself well to that, most does not. What's wrong with just fucking headbanging and having fun? Or do you have to fucking wreck everyone's good time around you?

 

[Erik]

i know.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Trust me, if I'm at the FRONT EDGE of the pit, and some jackass - I DO NOT CARE WHO - continuously wails into my back while I'm not looking, I'm going to fucking do something about it.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

FYI, Liz, here's where the tat comes from:

 

[Dark One]

Sometimes there should simply NOT be moshing.

If that fucking turd had whacked me one more time during the Moonsorrow set, we would have thrown down. In fact, Zod pretty much prevented me from breaking his jaw right then & there.

I totally remember that dude too, probably just too drunk and too stupid to know not to mosh during Moonsorrow. When you were yelling, Ali turned to me and thought you were upset at Greg for something, since he was the one holding you back when you were ready to throw down, LOL.

 

[lurch70]

continuously wails into my back while I'm not looking

you mean kind like what you were doing to me at the Anthrax show ...

 

[lizard]

i know.

the kinder, gentler, empathetic erik

 

[dorian gray]

hahaha someone broke their leg during a ministry concert? two questions: 1)why was anyone at a ministry concert and 2) howd he break his leg?

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

@Gugsy -- Yeah. I usually just headbang (with my beers and jager) However... there are times.

 

[Dark One]

you mean kind like what you were doing to me at the Anthrax show ...

x a squillion

Man, now I'm glad I made it up front and center for that show.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

joking or not, you know I wasn't

There's a difference between drunkenly staggering forward and running at full speed & hurling yourself into the people on the fringe of the pit.

You simply do not fucking do that, especially to the people who's backs are to you
