You can stay up front just be sure to be off to either side. Pits almost always happen in the middle. As for me, when I saw Opeth on the last tour I think I was the only one even headbanging. I don't go into the pit but <3 teh windmills. Hopefully the crowd will be better at the headlining gig coming up.
Opeth Moshpits
- Thread starter Blackwater Demon
- Start date
as long as they dont pull that wall of death bullshit that those ozzfest queers do then everything will be ok.
I'm kind of intrigued by Opeth audiences in general.
Obviously you get the metal fans, the death fans and the prog fans. But do you also get folk fans, jazz fans and general music conoisuers (sorry, too tired to spell)?
Also, what sort of age range. At Porcupine Tree gigs I'm always amazed by the age range- from young kids to 60 year olds.

I'm sure Wreath will go fucking off when they come back, but in the Opeth gigs I've been to they are pretty tame. Who are these bozo's who mosh during softer tracks, I keep reading about this at other gigs, who are these morons?

i can't imagine it being too heavy. It's not that sort of music, and the fans from what I've seen aren't those sort of people...that said every gig has its bogans
moshpits at opeth are GAY. they're too sophisticated for moshpits. if you want to mosh, go home and put on an album and punch yourself in the head.

I've seen the mighty Opeth only once (so far) in the Big Apple, and the crowd was extremely diverse. You had the DT geeks, death-heads, and old fogeys like me. For the most part, a quiet, fairly subdued crowd. I'll be interested to see the crowd makeup here in Philly next month when they headline.
On topic - I agree that moshpits are pretty stupid. BUT, I'm not a young buck anymore; plus, I enjoy the hell out of watching them. I saw a guy leave a show once, gushing blood from a huge gash on his head from moshing. It was great!!!
I enjoy foolish people kicking the shit out of each other, it's very entertaining.

So true (the 2nd statement). I have nothing against moshing but its a dumb thing to do. Who the fuck goes to a concert to get beaten up/beat people?? Its f'kin stupid.
I want to SEE the band play, not someone's fist in my face...

id really rather not be around people that are bleeding from moshing due to the risk of contracting something serious like HIV. and since everyone is in a big crowd pushing and slamming, you might pick up a scratch or a cut without knowing, and bam - HIV transmission. i know this isnt a very likely scenario, but the proximity and the general disregard for health in a moshpit makes it more likely than say, a game of soccer.
