Holy Shit Pit

[VAPORBLADE]

What a missed opportunity for a full scale carpet bombing.

:nice:

[regnu]

I am way to old now to deal with that sort of pain.

def not the wall of death I know of but brutal looking non the less.

[SpecM]

what are they doing? ... are they fighting?

[Jand3rson]

We did one similar to that the last time Suicide Silence played here, just not that many people.

Fun as all hell, so is hardcore dancing. Haters can just stay out of the way.

^Emo kids are not that brutal. Emo kids would just sit there.

Thank you. Emo kids are the little bitches that cry when they get hit by the actual hardcore kids there to dance, not just stand at the back and cry to the band.

Anyone know what song/band that is?

[Edev]

wow. thats the most intense thing ive seen all day..well, almost. at the chevron today some guy named Paul had a P car 914.. with a chevy 350 small block in it i believe. custom wide body and all. very down to earth guy.

[uofom3]

that is fucking retarded.

[Jand3rson]

Yeah. Now that is fucking dumb.

[eric (^__^)]

what a wonderful public service that band provides!

I never understood the point of going to a show of a band you like and wanting to get injured or trying to injure others.

I remember being at a Pantera show back in high school and while BioHazard was on stage, the lead singer stopped the show and had security escort out a couple of guys that turned a mosh pit into just literally beating the fuck out of some poor kid. He launched into a 5 minute rant about this kind of stupid behavior at shows and how it was driving up ticket prices because more security was needed, etc etc etc.

There's a big difference between assholes like that, and slam/hardcore dancing at shows. People at hardcore shows KNOW that the guys that are dancing in the center just dancing, and when we do hit each other, and it happens a lot, we don't get pissed at each other. That's just what happens.

about 10 years ago (FUCK has it been that long?), I was at a NIN concert - there was waaaay too many people in the "pit". at one point it got so tight, that I was litterally moving 10-15 feet in random directions, but my feet weren't touching the ground. Nobody was really being a jerk (except for this stupid bitch who was complaining about me bumping into her, get out of the pit then!), but I had 3 friends get trampled in that.. they actually stopped the show for a few minutes to let people get back on the feet. unfortunately, people were so drunk/stoned you really couldn't tell if somebody was hurt or just a drunk moron.

It was a great show though - and every NIN concert I've been to since has been a dissapointment. :(

[Jand3rson]

Yeah, "mosh" pits at concerts like that, and most "nu-metal" concerts are just giant smash-fests of hundreds of overweight, sweaty shirtless guys all smooshing up against each other, just pushing and trying to punch people. Your average hardcore show pit will have like 10-15 guys in it at one time, and they're usually pretty spread apart.

this describes alot of the shows ivebeen to. but whats worse about it is that these are punk shows and gutter punks show up. so it always smells like body order alcohol and cigarettes. humid as fuck too.
