This is what security should do at every metal show.

stupidest.statement.ever.



ok, once again...why should DOZENS OF PEOPLE IN THE CROWD have to move out of the way so that one little douchebag kid in supertight pants can do some ninja kicks?

you can keep defending yourself all you want...and shit, you can keep doing your little "dances" as well - and i'll keep dropping said kids on their ass every chance i get when i go to see some fuckin' bands

and that makes you a fucking man i suppose.
most people already know where the pit is gonna be. and it also the same thing wish push moshing. you have some dudes starting to bump eachother and boom there is a pit.

Ideally, I want to be able to hold a beer in one hand through the entire set!

I have to say I'd be bored as hell. I go to metal shows for release of the body and mind. Feeding my musical appetite comes second. If the music is good enough, I just can't help myself. I'll certainly miss a few details, but I'd rather have fun than hold back.

Attending a Strapping Young Lad show without going apeshit through the whole set, would equal to watching porn with your hands tied behind your back. Wall of death, anyone?

...but yeah, back to topic: from the two options, moshing ftw for sure. But for the record, I think it's weird to separate those to two groups so drastically. For all I know, they're both just the result of people going nuts to the music. At least if you're not a pretentios wannabe scene kid.
