Guy stands in the middle of the Wall of Death (1 Viewer)

I hate to say it, but my daughter is into this music and while she tells me that she tries to stay clear of the pits, she has gotten her nose broken and a concussion from going to concerts. The nose was a crowd surfer's foot, she says and the concussion was some dickbag hitting her in the back of the head. I have no reason to believe her, obviously I let her live her life, but I wouldn't be caught dead at something like that.

I crack up every time I see a band that gets the Wall of Death going... there's always one idiot who stands in the middle nodding like he's going to crush everyone. This guy eats it at a Lamb of God concert... I wish you could see what actually happens to him, but he just gets engulfed.

Yeah, I can't figure out what would have been edited there.
 
What's truly amazing is that he started out as a guitarist and only moved to drums when they were desperately seeking a drummer and couldn't find anyone with the chops to keep up with their songs. He's not a life-long drummer.

I used to dance in pits all the time at NYHC shows I went to. Used to sommersault on the ground coming up into a roundhouse karate kick and then flail my arms all over the place windmill fashion. I was like a walking sick of it all video. Seems funny looking back on it but it was great fun back in the day. Only one broken nose to speak of but rest of my record is clean. I was beaten up by bouncers in Arizona at a AFI show because they didn't know what NY dancing was all about.

A co-worker of mine was the drummer from Agnostic Front's sister and used to get us into their shows for nothing. NYC hardcore shows were some of the most violent pits I've ever seen. To this day, the hybrid hardcore/metal beands like Hatebreed still foster some of the wildest pits.

The only pit that has truly frightened me was a Slayer pit. Most of these shows have fans that are there for fun. But there are Slayer fans that are extra psycho.

Tell her to back up. I've been to over 1,000 metal shows and have yet to see one where the physical nature of the show was unavoidable. If you're going to stand as close to the stage as you can get, then yeah. But staying back or to the sides is always going to be safe. People don't mosh at the bar or crowd surf all the way to the portojohns.
 
Wish I was at this show. Gorilla Biscuits and SOIA. I actually was going to go but backed out at the last second. Nothing beats the SOIA show I saw at CBs. Had to be 96 or 97. :oldschool:

 
I love how Sick of it All still kicks ###!

Pretty sure the last time I saw them was in '96 or '97 too.

 
Okay- I have college aged boys. One is a musician, so I have been out there at band fests and seen some of this. I've found myself ending up serving as a human bumper, protecting these human projectiles from things like walls, stools and bar/table corners. :bowtie:

I've seen what look like forming mini-walls of death: guys will start pawing the floor like bulls before a charge. They scope out and make eye contact with another guy... and then charge each other seemingly hell bent on knocking the other guy to kingdom come. Should one of them hit the floor, the other guy invariably offers a hand and pulls him up. What up that?

Also- I have seen what I call snipers. The lame ###es float around the perimeter of the craziness and instead of taking anyone on directly they hit people as they go by and then bounce of in another direction to avoid retribution. I've almost taken a swipe at these guys myself. :hot:

Is there an insiders name for these losers??

 
Mosh pits were better before everything started getting categorized and choreographed. When this #### started happening they stopped being fun and just became meathead fests.

My favorite thing to do with those guys is after they've taken a few pot shots at people and a few people have recognized them doing so, I maneuver so that they're between me and the pit. When a mellower part of a song leading up to a ferocious part is being played, I get into position right behind them and as soon as the mosh riff comes in, I shove them right into the middle of the pit as hard as I can. Usually, they'll sprint across to the other side as quickly as they can, but every now and again, someone gets a really good lick on them. I'd like to think I've helped "reform" dozens of what you call snipers.
