Only complaint were the moshers. Moshers are fa.gs.
Amen. I'm getting older, I'm not huge, I wear glasses and have a bad neck, fuck those shits that have to assault people not even in the mosh pit, crowd killers or whatever they're called. And I'm never at the edge of the pit, the closest I'll get is so that there are a few people standing in front or behind me as a barrier but sometimes even that isn't enough distance from the fucks. Also fuck those guys who decide to start their own one man mosh pit in the middle of reasonable people. Hardcore gigs in small venues are the shittiest though, try seeing the band somehow when the tiny floor is all taken over by three jackoffs doing the fucking windmill and purposely trying to punch everyone not in the pit in the face.
Also a big nope: farters in crowds. Like do you have to pass the rankest gas when it's so packed that the poor defenseless people behind you can't run away? Or I get away but the farter also moves so no one knows it was they who farted and then they end up next to me again and continue farting.
Also people so drunk they start touching you, get violent or vomit on you etc. At least the only time I got vomited on the band was playing their last song already. The scrawny teenager responsible ran like hell before I could even yell at him
Anyway I went to a small scale metal festival last weekend (the day I went there played Eyehategod, Cirith Ungol, Bölzer, Celeste and some local metal bands and some more artsy shit too) and I got to experience the crowd killers, a drunk guy apparently deciding I was his best friend and of course the rank farter. All in all a successful live event then. Bands were okay too.
