Mosh Pits

[damnromulans]

I can only imagine the joy. Did you escape unscathed?

I saw Converge once with my ex and JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, EMTs running in and out every few minutes with some bleeding passed out girl or boy in their arms.

The last time I saw Converge there was sadly no pit. I would have definitely moshed. Although, they are coming this way next month to a less commercial venue...there is hope.

most of you guys are lucky to live in europe/USA, metal bands rarely come near india

Even worse than bottle-breakers are sweaty guys who take their shirts off and those dudes who protectively guard their girlfriends to the point of absurdity in the middle of the floor

I do believe one of my mates done that, right up until he got trampled on and well...we later found out he had three bust ribs. But moshin is the shiz, today's moshin can get out of hand yes but at the end of the day it's still a bit o fun..just not for those who get hurt.

Actually, yeah. My friend dropped his glasses, and in one of the most completely amazing happenings ever he found them and they were alright. In the middle of a sea of people stomping around, in a poorly lit place, he found them and no one stepped on them. Very lucky. KSE sucked, and their cover of Holy Diver was so bad that we just walked out.

Finntroll and Moonsorrow both had some awesome pits last night, a few of which I participated in.

This guy almost fell down but a few guys caught him and I pulled him up. There was a grand sense of camaraderie at that show.

 

[damnromulans]

Camaraderie makes pits fun. I recall the pit at Amon Amarth was very friendly, but that's probably because (speaking in generalizations) folk/Viking fans are out there to enjoy wizardry rather than prove to everyone how small their penises are by being exaggeratedly aggressive.

 

[ThrashizFTW!]

Well, I've been in many moshes. Well not exactly, I've been close to them, too close.

Lamb of God was playing with Ozzy at the Ozzfest 2007. As i turned to my left i began to see a giant circle forming, the famous wall of death. I backed away but not too far because i obviously wanted to see some fucking idiots get thrown around.

So the songs began, then came the climax if you will. Unfortunately, for some kids, they were exactly in the middle. Man, i felt so horrible because when the pit started, I saw one of the kids drowning inside the nasty sweaty mosh, and the other getting tackled, by two guys going the opposite direction. Imagine that.

I couldn't help but laugh at the boy who fell into the pit at first, all those people squashing him. Poor guy.

That was a pretty good concert though.

There was another one, some kid was not feeling so well and puked on my pants. God, I can't even begin to describe that one...

The dumbfucks moshing to Mayhem at last years MDF pissed me the fuck off.

No mosh, no core, no trends, no fun.

It's fucking funny to see some of the girls go into the pit and start wind milling and headbanging to the music as their boyfriends are just standing at the back in the safe zone.

Yeah what he said

 

[Satanist Hobo]

Wasn't me, but at Children of Bodom I was in the front filming while some douchebag spit on Alexi's guitar, Alexi cursed him off and then about three guys beat the shit out of him right next to me, high fived Alexi later that night.

Now for an actual pit story, BTBAM (opening for In Flames IIRC) was being a douchebag and hardcore dancing in the pit, I got pushed in and got kicked in the face hard.

 

[Psychonaut]

That's funny Alexi getting mad about being spit on. I wouldn't want to be within ten rows of him. He's like a sprinkler.

 

[ThrashizFTW!]

Dumb satanists.

That sucks...cause I would have at the very least pissed on it.
