Mosh pit’s???

hmm foo fighters @ lancs county cricket OT - this one right scummy tool looking guy decided to try and create his own mosh pit in approx the middle of the pitch.

he started running at people and trying to bounce off them, in a 5 year old bumper cars kinda way, so people started pushing him and a couple joined in.

he seemed to get a bit too emotionally involved in it all and after trying to level a few people he ran into, one guy lifted up his elbow and clean knocked out one of his front teeth.

cue seething behaviour where said numpty goes into ultra spanner mode and attempts to kick off with everyone before we eventually slipped away into the crowd.
 
yeah that kind of moshing is a bit on top at times, rage against the machine at reading was a bit mental like that. i'm more of a "pogo up and down" kind of guy, though crowd surges forward are ok but side to side = lots of people falling over. oasis in '95 (i think) at liverpool royal court was the worst crush i've ever been in, i had to get out of that.

the most mental gigs i've been to were 2 levellers ones, in manchester and leicester. i went with a mate who'd been in pits at metallica and maiden and the like and he couldn't cope with the levellers pits - weird!
 
I love a good pit in a busy rock club but there's always one or two people who just don't get it and manage to spoil things at a gig.
 
Me and my friend moshed at one of the staged at V Festival to Prodigy - we got right to the front.

It was sweaty and disgusting, but all the other moshers (boys of course) were protecting us from the more violent ones... which was nice.

After it had all dispersed we found a lot of shoes and were very sweaty....most of it not being our sweat :/

Regardless of that, I managed to pull on the way back to the tent ;)

Nothing better than a good mosh when your in a friendly crowd where people are looking out for eachother. I guess some people just wont get it and it's hard to explain to somone unless you have actually been in a crowd. I guess you could kind of compare it to a fairground ride, you get thrown around and it feels pretty violent but you don't get hurt.

You can't be the type of person who gets upset and takes things personally, if your in a mosh pit your going to get thrown about but on the whole nobody is actually trying to do you any harm.

It's just a really good buzz...
 
that video looks like a scene from Dawn of the dead or 28weeks later...

Those people are seriously dangerious to get like that after listening to music..
 
Its mosh pits, et al, that give metal its stigma. I like some metal (Megadeth, Maiden, and so on), but why the hell can't people just listen to the music? I realise in the case of death metal its mostly some guy screaming down a microphone and you can't tell what he's saying or what's being played but still..
 
Looks like a good excuse to get the sovereigns on and do a bit of windmilling!

That kind of thing would just jar me off these days, but then I'm 30 and not a long haired, metal headed teenager anymore :)
