It used to be a common occurrence (even at Pearl Jam shows).
Also, if you had to pick one: a crowd full of statues or an insane moshpit?

Somehwere between the two...I personally think moshing is a sport for neanderthals, but it doesn't bother me as long as I'm not situated within the edges of the pit. I usually remain in one place and at non-metal shows can be statue-like, but I do show visible reaction the music by shouting the lyrics, some involuntary headbanging, etc.

i think you deserve to be punched in the fucking nuts if you try to pull something like that
nothing funnier than some fag trying to stagedive and falling flat on his ass cause noone wanted to catch him and instead quickly move to the side

Still am mate.

Always reminds me of Jack Black in School of Rock.
The stagediving at the end of "Metal Years: Decline of Western Civilization" during "In my darkest hour" is pretty amazing/funny. People even somersaulting into the audience.

Happens at every show here that is in any way up-beat. Also people launch themselves 10-fingers style from the crowd back onto the crowd.

Not a big fan of stage diving, nor a big fan of moshpits (exceptions: Slayer show)
I prefer to find a nice spot and headbang my balls off and shout along with the song.

i always thought getting boxed in the nuts is a bad thing, which is why i never stage dived or crowd surfed.
last time i saw crowd surfing was at a sunn O))) show. stage diving i think i saw once, like 11 years ago. venues don't take too kindly to such acts it seems.

Probably statues. While I don't mind a decent-sized pit, and occasionally participate, when they get nuts you have to keep one eye on them and one on the show (assuming you're in close proximity to the show). This detracts from my enjoyment of the show.JayKeeley said:

Neither one. A headbanging crowd is excellent for warming up, but here in Germany most people go the statue approach, some are even trying to do casual conversation in the front ranks while the band is playing. Morons.

The Dutch and French behave reasonnably physical.
Southern Europeans are animals.
Scandinavians are pretty much motionless but more respectful of the music.
Germans suck.
