I don't care if you do it at some punk show. That's fine. Feel free to knock your brains out. Just don't come to shows by bands I like, and ESPECIALLY don't do it in a tiny club. I'm not some indifferent indie kid - I like to get up in front of the stage and show my appreciation for the band I came to see. But I don't like getting smashed up against the stage or elbowed by drunk fucktards who think they have to throw their body weight around to have a good time. Go play football, for crying out loud.
-
If you get right up front you don't have to mosh and at worst you get a little pushing on your back.
-
sorry, but people like you are so fucking annoying at these types of shows. you know there are going to be moshers, so if you don't like it you can move to the back of the crowd. don't give me dirty looks like you expect me to stand there politely because i will slam into you even harder. i don't know how you can even listen to such high-energy music without jumping around, but whatever.
-
Sure, jump around. But do you have to do it INTO other people? I can pogo just fine in my own space. I don't have to fling my elbows and my big belly around. I'm short, so I like to get up front so I can see the damn stage. Moshers ruin it for everybody else.

I will fucking stab you.

I hope you get a beer bottle in your eye
moshing used to be cool and fun - people jumping around, bumping into each other, and having a high energy good time - but recently it seems to have developed into people hurling themselves against each other as hard as fucking possible in an attempt to injure themselves and others. it's fucking disastrous and should be a misdemeanor

buncha pansies up in here

My brother's friend lost his two front teeth because he got roundhouse kicked in the face at a hardcore show. You haven't lived till you've seen hardcore dancing...

:lol :lol :lol hardcore dancing is so distinguished mentally-challenged

moshing sucks, I just bang my head a little (not wildly, in the rhythm of the music (im awesome)) and make \m/ signs in the air with my arms.

O fuck, :lol :lol :lol
-
it just helps get a little of that energy out. the only time i've ever seen em go bad is when some serious dude insists on standing next to the pit but doesn't want to get touched. shoulda tried channeling that rage by moshing, dumbass.
-
nothing happens in that vid..

:lol Suicide is the only option.

Metal rules so much
Metal culture is so fucking distinguished mentally-challenged
-
i really don't like hardcore as evidenced in these videos.
the only one that's close to this which i like is Terror
-
i wish i could go back in time and do that at a Beethoven concert.
but then again they'd probably just tell me to get back to the plantation :-\

I heed this advise. I stay the fuck away.
-
A lot of moshers lack self control. I know the type, YOU KNOW THE TYPE. They mosh to anything. They'd mosh at a Seals & Crofts concert. Know when to mosh and when not to.
I still find it all rather dumb, but maybe it has some tribal quality at its core, but often it just seems like roid rage ballet.
-
:piss moshers :piss2
Nothing worse than having a good show ruined by these assholes. If they want to mosh they could at least do it in the back since they aren't gonna be watching the stage anyway.
-
I agree moshers suck. I go to hear the music and enjoy the spectacle of a live show, not get accosted by some fuckwit whose main priority is getting off his/her face and being as big a tool as possible.
-
Does anyone else hate concerts that are low in volume>?
-
I havent encounted horrible gratuitous moshing as described in this thread for a while, a more common problem for me is real life Scenesters dancing 'ironically', its fucking disgusting
-
Does anyone else hate concerts that are low in volume>?
depends what kind of music it is, I saw Prodigy live a few years ago and it was way too fucking quiet
-
Maiden & Priest are so quiet on festivals.
-
I like a good volume where it's loud but not so loud that it loses definition.
I take earplugs though, just in case. I learned my lesson years ago at a Yngwie concert. It was so insanely loud that I couldn't hear his his high notes at all - all I could hear was my eardrums flubbering back and forth. It sounded like someone blowing a raspberry.
A friend of mine went to a hearing specialist after and was informed he'd lost a tiny bit of his hearing. Fuck that. :(
-
Yngwie didnt play Black Star when I saw him :(
-
Fuck that, I saw Manowar in Philly in 2005 before I knew anything about Manowar. I had the misfortune of standing in the front row right in front of their speaker setup. That's around 127dB blasting straight into my ears from about 4 feet away.
Needless to say, I've never quite heard things the same way since.
-
I always try to remember to take earplugs. The amount of hearing loss my dad has just from power tool usage makes me want to keep what's left of mine. I've been to enough concerts without them, anyway.
Gratuitous moshing is what got me to start this thread. I went to see Boris last night (they're a Japanese drone/psychedelic/shoegaze band). Apparently their labelmates in the US are hardcore/death metal/whatever acts, so thanks to the opening acts the show drew a lot of those types, hence the moshpit during Boris' set.
Last time I ran into this, it was at a Les Claypool concert. And I mean, sure, Primus and moshing went hand in hand, but Primus is basically done, and Claypool's current material is about as far as I can imagine from what should incite moshing.
I don't go to Warped tour, hardcore shows, punk shows, metal shows, whatever, because I know what to expect from them. But some people will take any excuse to mosh.
-
Also, I love when moshpit dumbfucks try to start moshing at the wrong kind of shows.
When I saw the Maiden / Ozzy (or was it Sabbath?) Ozzfest a few years back, a bunch of dumbfucks tried moshing to Maiden. They were quickly shut the fuck down by the sensible metalheads at the show. Fuck that moshpit noise. Go to a hardcore show an be a dumbfuck there. Don't ruin my Iron Maiden experience.
Hell, when I was a Magic Circle Festival a few weeks ago, some guys tried starting a moshpit and the people in front of them belittled into submission with their fists until they cut the shit out.
-
I thought you disliked Maiden? (i know you only dislike Bruce)
-

Bruce's voice has grown on me (as you said it would, I believe!) as I play them more and more on the radio show. I still know almost none of their material, however.
And I didn't go to that Ozzfest for Maiden. But fuck, like them or not, don't fuck up my experience with one metal's premier bands.
-
Fuck moochers too
-
I saw Boris a few weeks ago and had the exact same experience. It was a small venue so I stood leaning on a railing just beside the floor so I got a good view of everything. This one guy plowed through the crowd and started doing the most distinguished mentally-challenged moshing. Pissed off a bunch of people.

I like Maiden's recent material more than their classic work. They're more heavier and songs pack more punch.

Boris isn't even close to moshing music, either :(

Tell me about it. Last night their drummer wore a white satin shirt and slacks, with bellbottoms and the shirt open. :bow
-
Especially when they're playing their mellower, more psychedelic stuff, but this douche didn't care. Felt bad for the people on the floor.
