Rules of Moshing
KharBevNor:
Man, that video Jens posted reminded me. What the fuck is it with American bands (especially bad ones), ordering the crowd how to mosh? If we like your fucking band, we'll form a fucking pit. We'll form it wherever we want, and it may be a circle pit or it may be a normal pit. Fuck you, play some fucking music!
I have literally never seen a European band doing this.
I only mosh (and then occasionally) at Wacken these days. Nowhere I've been in the UK seemed safe or enjoyable since they bought the smoking ban in, making it difficult to smoke dope in Skindred pits. I've ranted before that it's basically over the last five-six years that almost all heavy gigs in the UK have been progressively ruined by 15 year old kids with bandanas who saw some 'hardcore dancing', probably in a live vid of Avenged Sevenfold on youtube or somewhere equally risible, and want to try it. What I'm trying to say is FUCKING YANKS. In the words of the immortal slogan of Deathlike Silence Productions:
NO MOSH! NO CORE! NO TRENDS! NO FUN!

Dudes piggybacking and jumping over people and climbing on folks to hurl themselves on the stage over and over again. I believe I also copped a full-body feel which enraged my boyfriend but the other dude was pretty big and pretty drunk so I let it go. Such is the front of the pit.

Funny, until last Friday I would have said the Black Lips were the best mosh I had been in.
But then on Friday I went to Balkanarama and the mosh was the best thing ever. It wasn't as much moshing as everyone just really dancing really hard, and not caring about bumping into other people. Most. Fun. At. Gig. Ever. Basically, Balkan music is the raddest to mosh to.
Also, if you're not living by those rules you're a dick.

The last time I saw this happen, the moshers ended up crashing into the bagpiper and taking out the drumkit.
Flatfoot 56. What a show.
