He'll be better off once he realizes that yelling about something you know nothing about because you think it looks stupid is an old man move. In the Twisted Sister video of life, I'm Dee Snider and he's Neidermayer.

I enjoyed a mosh pit or two in my day... but what the hell?!

It's all instrumental metal - great for background music and chillin', bad for a show because there's almost no crowd/band interaction (other than synchronized head bobbing, as you alluded to earlier). At that show, they had a band called Keelhaul open for them, and I'm not entirely sure those guys had played together before. Or played instruments before. My brother is going to Slayer/Marilyn Manson this weekend, and I just found out KsE is playing, too. Instead, I'll be at Kiddieland...

As a skinny, slow white kid who played football for 2 years in HS, take it from me. The violence is restrained, but not simulated. Of the top 50 hits I've taken in my life, 48 of them were in pits, not on the gridiron.It's like football for skinny, slow, small, white kids...only the violence is simulated.

I've never understood the thought process behind people "skanking" though. And I used to go to a lot of shows where skanking was common. Can someone explain this to me?

Acer probably can. I've never done it.

Loved AF. Hardest show I can remember was Underdog reunion show at coney island high. I've been to a few crazy AF shows. One at Wetlands that stands out. The rumor used to be that Stigma didn't really know how to play guitar.

I'd be willing to bet $1,000 I was at that Wetlands show. That was one of my main NYC hangouts. Small world.
And now we play WW together.

Odd, the only time that I was injured in a pit was at a Helmet show. Some guy in a pack of straight edge dickwads kicked me in the nuts. I retaliated with an elbow smash to the nose, then proceeded to tend to my aching balls. To be young and dumb again.Despite the occasional sociopath, most people are just getting a release and aren't remotely interested in hurting anyone.I did see one maniac once at a Helmet show at the Troc in Philly intentionally elbow some guy in the nose and blow it up. The guy victimized was standing right next to me, and he almost caught me with that elbow. My buddies and I saw them after the show and decided to confront them, but when we got to their car, we realized they were pulling a tank of nitrous out of the trunk, so we befriended them instead.

When you stop posing Star Wars action figures for wedding ceremonies and in in buttsex positions and go outside, there's a whole world out there.
Come to think of, it, redact that. Don't ever stop doing that.

I've been to too many ska shows, apparently. There would always be some crazies who get in a circle and skank in front of the stage...then they run into each other and it's like a moshpit for #######.

If the Rockettes had a Special Olympics team I imagine that it would resemble this.

I took a boot squar in the marbles at a White Zombie show at the Stone Pony Big Top. Ended up curled up in a ball at the base of the giant stack of speakers to the left of the stage for most of Thunderkiss '65. Then, I couldn't hear anything for about twenty minutes afterwards either. Same show, I lent my brother my jacket (Big Top was just that, a huge tent with no heat and it was about 20 degrees out) and he got hot during the show, so he just took my coat off and threw it into the pit. $75 jacket, gone. I had originally planned to leave it in the car. So I had that going for me.... which was nice. Did meet Sean Yseault after the show at the Osprey and proposed to her after about 25 beers, so the evening ended well, despite the fact that she didn't accept.Odd, the only time that I was injured in a pit was at a Helmet show.

A show like this, you usually get about 10-15% females.

that's a whole lot more than I would expect, and I was mainly laughing at the actual footage of the video vs the "all the ladies in attendance"... There was one brave girl on the left when the video starts. I'm guessing they stay away from the wall of death for the most part.A show like this, you usually get about 10-15% females.

Last show I was at, this girl wriggled in front of me to the rail center stage. Her hair smelled like some really nice fruity shampoo, so I told her I would try to keep the masses off of her if she stayed put. I protected her, and in exchange, got to stand right behind her and smell her shampoo the whole show rather than the unwashed masses behind me. Win/win."coatracks"A show like this, you usually get about 10-15% females.

Yeah. There are typically 1 or 2 that try to be "the cool chick" and get involved, but they usually end up carried out unconscious.that's a whole lot more than I would expect, and I was mainly laughing at the actual footage of the video vs the "all the ladies in attendance"...
