Too Old to Mosh!

Why I don't like Neurosis: "Progressive Sludge Metal/Post-Hardcore/Tribal/Ambient"

 

[Satanstoenail]

Dumb reason. Just listen to it and decide whether you like it or not.

 

[J.]

Because the tag MA puts on them?

The only thing I like in that tag is ambient. It's fine if you all like Neurosis, I just can't imagine enjoying anything with Progressive Sludge or Post-Hardcore in the name.

Listen to the fucking link cunt.

Moshing. At the grand old age of 36 and with family raising hoedowns taking all of my energy, compassion and blood, my attendance at shows these days is infrequent to put it mildly. I was never much of a mosher at any rate and like most of you preferred to stand to one side and enjoy the show. Certainly this is the case at large shows. That, and I'd invariably be holding a beer or two and making regular trips to the bar. But at small gigs and if I was drunk enough I'd jump in a little bit if the vibe was really good.

As far as wacky anecdotes, once my shoe came off in a large moshpit and I thought I was pretty lucky to get it back. At the time I had images of me walking home with only one shoe on. "Hi dear, I'm home...". I think that's all the misadventure I've been privy to thankfully.

Can't see myself getting back into a moshpit unless something drastic happens.

I can't conceive how can someone call Neurosis post-hardcore. They are certainly sludge but I wouldn't say progressive. Just atmospheric sludge metal.

Listen to the fucking link cunt.

It's not black metal or trad so he won't.

The second link was better than the first, but still not a fan

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah, the other song didn't do anything for me either.

For some reason I assumed you would like Hardcore Punk.

You are never too old to mosh!
Either too calm or too frail.

I once thought the same, then I become old enough to sit at the bar.

You're probably in the too calm category. I still mosh sometimes at 33. Sometimes there's just aggression that needs a release.

Well, my post isn't exactly reflective of my actual conduct at shows. Normally I hang at the bar until the band that I came to see performs. Then I work my way to the front row. I like moshing, but my weight puts me at a major disadvantage to holding my own and I normally find myself being knocked about like a pin-ball from one side of the pit to another until I fall and get stepped on. Also, I started wearing glasses when I was about 21 (I needed them much earlier, but couldn't get them until I could buy them myself). Glasses and pits don't mix very well, especially if you function as a human pin-ball in the pit.

Gebrechlichkeit does not set in until the mid 50s.

Eh, I don't know. Some of it is alright but I never want to seek it out.

May I suggest investing in some of these:
