In february I'm going to go and see Decapitated in concert :headbang::headbang::headbang:

Its going to be fucking awesome!

Is anyone on here going to any of the same one as me?

And what selection of songs do you think they will be playing at it? I like all the albums but prefer the more modern stuff.

Also, the one i'm going to is on the 8th of February and is at one of the o2 academy places.
 
Damn dude, Decapitated is a hell of a show for your first, have a blast! Gotta find out if/when they're coming Stateside
 
Haha, nah man, moshing is retarded IMO - my style is to get in the pit, and then just beeline for the bar at the front! I do like when it's a frothing sea of people shoving back and forth, that rules, but the whole open pit with assholes hurling themselves around and flailing like epileptics, laaaaaaame
 
Hahaha, I suppose so! but if I do some moshing I wont be going insane with it like some people do, throwing themselves around like stupid dicks!

Shame on you for putting moshing and that definition is the same sentence. That piss-poor excuse of crowd feedback is definitely NOT called moshing.

I totally agree with you, its fucking bullshit. Luckily its not present in this country, only in America and remote areas where it caught on as far as I know.

Fuck it, you know what would be awesome? A rampage of fucking true metalheads forming a wall on either side of that shit and ramming the fuck out of them, then proceeding to mosh whilst turning them into pulps.

The most ridiculous thing is, that the people around the slamdancing shit are more focused on that rather than the band. :rolleyes:

Sorry but infuriates me to see what certain bands have to play for.

Fine, everyone has got their own way of enjoying themselves, but please, I have not seen anything so pathetic. The difference between moshing and that?

1) Moshing is good, friendly, violent fun where you don't aim to hurt your metal brother but support him should he/she fall or hurt him/herself. It's an amalgamation of energy to a heavy fucking vibe.

2) Slam dancing or whatever they want to call it is the most individualistic, ridiculous, "hey look at me I'm so tough" bullshit there is. It's gone downhill.

Gary Holt, when are you gonna gather that army to eradicate this scum...
 
Slamdancing, that's a good word for it - and yeah, nothing pisses me off more than trying to watch the band (and thus having my back to the pit) and having some fat butt pirate hurl himself into my back (shoving me into all the people in front, who are none too grateful either) - thus I have to be constantly looking over my shoulder, which of course sucks...maybe I should start bringing a shank to shows :heh:
 
Oh please, the violence is part of what makes metal fun to see livew. Stage diving, head walking, sand grabbin, skeleton freakouts, face erasers, lawnmowers, clutching at barbs, stomp walking, nascar parts, people getting into fights, crowd surfing, people getting thrown out of the venue etc. It all makes it worthwhile. I love when I'm on stage and I look out and see nothing but the first 10 mins of the movie Gladiator.

I always laugh when i see people on the floor that get really pissed when someone bumps into them. Like dude YOU'RE AT A FUCKING METAL SHOW. YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN!!!

I prefer to sit at the back and watch anyway, I don't need to be right up on the artists crotch to enjoy the music.
 
Again, I lol cause the slam dancers are harmless.

I got kicked in the face full force by one kid one time and literally laughed in his face. These kids weigh like 100lbs soaking wet. They couldn't hurt a teddy bear.
 
It's not the threat most of them pose..because as you said it usually is quite harmless.... but its just that it looks shite.

"Violence" as a unit of metal at a show to enjoy yourself, looking gay TRYING to look the shit is another.

I personally don't care whether they are legitimate killers, or scene kids with tsunami hair. The more fun everyone has, even if it's not my thing the better, cause then the bands get into it more and everyone wins.

I digress though.

Back on topic, when the fuck are they coming to the states? I couldn't care less about them playing in the grym forests. Must. Have. Show. Here.:kickass:
 
moshing with a good crowd of metal brothers is one of the best things in the universe. overwhelming sense of camraderie.
slam dancing can go fuck itself
hardcore dancing needs to die even faster.

anyway, enjoy it muckypup :D and listen winds of creation more, i dont see how anyone could prefer the newer ones after really getting into WoC

+ 1000 on all points.

Winds of Creation = InstaBoner.

Last word on this:

call me an elitist asshole but if i had fans like that at my gig I'd have to force myself not to facepalm in the middle of a song. I wouldn't want such a fanbase. Don't know why man, might sound lame for me to say, because after all they're paying to see me and are (supposedly) showing appreciation to my stuff, but just as a painter wouldn't want his/her admirers to act rowdily and obnoxiously at an art gallery, in the same way I wouldn't like that fan base killing the vibe I'm trying to set.

Then again, most bands who have slamdancers actually construct their songs for that purpose, throwing in bland breakdowns wherever there's some gap to fill, just to feed the masses.

Maybe I see it differently because the kind of music I'd like to play isn't made with that purpose.
