I was really surprised the Lotus Eater was such a good moshing song - at first I thought "well it's definitely not even close to their heaviest" but when the humming was almost over...I knew shit was about to happen

^hahaha yeah. The best part about moshing to Opeth songs are, once the the soft parts come in, everyone just stops, enjoys the music, then BAM right back to moshing.

This explains it perfectly for me. When I saw them in September (when they actually cared enough to come to Minneapolis
) it was awesome, because there were no retarded hardcore scenesters there and there was a healthy mix of moshers and non-moshers. And as Prophet states, the pits only last like 30 seconds during the heavy parts, then we'd all stop and watch them and sing along during the soft parts, then go back to moshing during the next heavy riff. It was really cool because you get a good mix of moshing and watching, and you never get tired cause the pits are so short-lived. Oh, and whoever said you don't listen while moshing, no offense, but that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Actually, that guy took cocain.
...worse than moshers, are the ones who try to get to the front bar. These are the one I would actually punch in the face just to see them bleed. If I ever see one of them at Opeth (sunday), I'll be so fucking mad that it's possible that I do it. We'll see. Any experiences?

What I really HATE about moshers is that when you go to sold out concerts they suddenly think it's a good idea and their fucking right to start a huge pit in the middle of an already packed place -> even LESS space for everyone else who's just trying to enjoy the music. Somehow we managed through the whole 80s and most of the 90s (we're talking Sweden now, ok?) without the moshpits at the concerts and I can't recall that the bands complained about the audience back then...
Metal = headbanging and jumping.
Retarded = mosh.

I used to "mosh", but back when it was called slam dancing....why change the name anyway.
It used to be fun....then it turned into broken jaws, fractured skulls, etc...not fun.
It used to be a way to burn off some aggression, and turned into some a-hole looking to lay someone out...not fun, or cool.
With that said, I'll check it out tomorrow night...and if it doesn't look like people are trying to cause bodily harm, I might jump in.

I do, why else to have a long hair? Besides, it's good training for your neck muscles and gives you a thorough musical experience. When I go to an Opeth gig, I've already familiar with the material, I don't need to listen carefully all the time.

Must.. release.. adrenaline..
I mosh at Metallica, LOK, Foo Fighters, Lamb of god, Queens of the stoneage, plan three.. you name it..
I do not mosh at Opeth shows, cause none of their songs give me any adrenaline.
long-haired headbanging is just stupid to me.. looks so silly and is not releasing my overflowing adrenaline.
so is standing still and not making any sound during the entire show. If you want to do that, go to the cinema instead.
you fuckin have to scream your guts out when visiting a metal consert.. You paid for it!
