People Suck

[unchaste]

Back in my early teens (oh, so long ago), I was a big Slipknot fan. I played the living hell out of their first album. In retrospect, I realize that there isn't much talent involved in screaming and (literally) banging on empty kegs. But it was angry and loud, and I liked it. I still like music like that. My love of Slipknot died down a bit - I still only own their first album but I also still listen to it when I'm feeling nostalgic.

My sister and my 15 year old cousin are still big fans, so my aunt bought us all tickets to their show at the State Theatre last night. Main floor tickets. Now, if my aunt had consulted me on this, I would have told her to go for the balcony or the mezzanine, because none of us are over 5'5", and I knew it was going to be trouble.

And oh, was I right.

We got in early, and got a spot right up front. So far, so good. It gets a little crowded during the first two bands, Unearth & As I Lay Dying, but not too rough. There's a mosh pit here and there, but we held our ground, waiting to see the main act.

Before they even got on stage, I was ready to leave. People are crowding the stage, trying to get closer. There's a few drunk people next to us taking up too much space. This big fucker in a mask pushes his was up front, nearly knocking me over in the process. By the time the music started, I couldn't move. The mosh pit was right behind us. It one thing to run into another guy, but why the fuck are you going to try to barrel into three short chicks standing there, minding thier own buisness? I kept getting elbowed by assholes that apparently couldn't look down and see me standing there, and I stopped counting the number of times I got kicked in the head by crowd surfers,. despite my efforts to help hold the stupid bastards up.

After two songs, I went and sat in the back of the theatre by the bar and just listened, because even though I was only three rows back on the floor, I could not see a goddamned thing. It was quite a fight to get back there, too. I'm just glad that I'm short enough that when I hipcheck someone, it ends up hitting them closer to the knee than the hip, and they get knocked off balance.

So, in summation, I hate people.

and people womnder why i watch gigs apreciativly from the bar nowerdays.

last gig i actually enjoyed being in the crowd was a clutch gig. crowd so tightly packed that when my friend Leah broke her bag straps it stayed pressed against her,

the whole crowd just bounced along in a sort of mexican goosepimples (heh)

pitcshifters last gig before thier umm.... i lost count hopw many times they split and reformed... during the PSI tour anyhow. i enjoyed that crowd aside from

one drunk piss head swinging his feet at head hieght goosestepping in a circle, kicking one girl in the face (not on!) with some demented "I have hot stuff on my tounge, wanna see what colour it is" expression. needless to say i was about to lamp him myself when someone knocked him out before me. gig carried on, whent nearer the front to get a good photo or two and enjoy the gig (one hell of a band live), ended up passing the constant streams of back to front surfers to the security.

thing is, i've noticed the club scene here has gone idiotic, someone went over in the zone (i missed that club) everyone helped that person up. in escape however its gone naster and nastier.

kids deliberatly knocking kids ontop of fallen kids (helping one kid up i caught sight of this one kid coming straight for me, arms outstreched to push me over, my arm was longer and he got a bloody nose and got sent back 6 or 6 foot into the pit,didnt see him after that, nice blood splatter on mt fist though.)

people deliberatly bushing non partakers into rough pits (one idiot little goth chick did this to me so i marked her out for the 3 way piullar bounce, no one would help me incase she had some peter steele of a boyfriend, plus i say her deliberatly push empty beer pbottles into the floor. she followed it soonafter as i flung her in by the corset strings, standing ovation i recieved for that was worth the boyfriend risk)

and on one accasion, after a viscous pit, 2 guys we lost our temper with for rough pitting decided to gouge my friends guts out with a broken bottletop (not advisable to do to a paranoid martial artist who expected this, guy got his arm broken and a headbutt). i was there the night someone got carried out on a strecher, rumours still go round that he is now wheelchair bound.

i have escaped the metal room on occasion to find some ska punk being played in the mainstream room, so me and a few other punks start a pitt, a propper pitt, no one got hurt. there was some kid standing on the sidelines who looked nervous and out of place in the room, though he obviously liked the music, by the time we (myself and the other complete strangers) coaxed him in and the punk finished he was grinning ear to ear, not a scratch. rest of the mainstream crowd looked horrified at us though. beers all round for the pitters. it was good to have a friendly pitt again after so long

local clubs have gotten rougher. people are not bothering to learn how to pitt properly without causing injury, but moshpits allways have been brutal at gigs. i was watching "The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years (1988)" the other night. right at the end you see a megadeth gig with crowd surfers. nearly everyone who dived from the stand fell through, except for one guy who landed, floated, grinned at the camera and then had some loon dive feet first into his abs taking him under.... AWCH

Head Wreck, my friend, you are awesome.

[Nerdcore]

ha this is a interesting thread.. I dont try to get near mosh pits , but I end up near them and get punched in the face or kicked or somthing :fear

[kellygrrrrrl]

I fucking hate that shit. Why?

Animalistic assholes....stop ruining shows!

Almost every show I go to a "Mosh Pit" breaks out and fucking someone ALWAYS gets hurt, it's like one ass hole who's drunk and musically enraged, walks around bumping people like get out of my way, ....OK...I am out of your way! now you just look like a drunk asshole mother fucker walking around in drunken circles...idiot

I FUCKING HATE that shit.

It is so dumb. Why can't people just dance and jump and have fun instead of hurting people, and starting shit.

Ok, maybe I am a bit harsh but fuck that shit.

bah

[saechalyn]

Mosh pits scare me, mostly because I am afraid of breaking my glasses. I can't see without them, I can't wear contacts and I don't have a backup pair.

I'm sorry jerks fucked up your night unchaste

=(

Mosh pits usually scare me but I surfed for the first time this year and they were all very nice to me.

However I have had problems at DEMF

I almost got my toe broke there

[Homicidalheathen]

Oh and I went to a party last Sat and still have a black eye from a band that rocket launches goddamn barbie dolls ass holes.

[DarkVampire]

I don't like mosh pits, if I am at a concert I usually stay towards the back or on the sides. I don't like being in a building a bunch of people too close to me. Makes me feel clausterphobic.

Plus there are a lot of assholes up front pushing people around and doing other stupid shit.

Sounds like good advice. :laughing :laughing :laughing

[DJ Nocker]

i love moshing and hardcore dancing and will continue to do it becuase its fun and i need it to vent.

[StaticRob]

I don't really mind in people want to mosh or not at a show. But the thing I can't stand is the crowd surfers. With surfers, it seems like you have to turn around and watch for them so you don't get kicked in the back of the head, more then you can watch the band play and the show they put on.

I have a great way of stopping mosh pits.. I push the assholes' girlfriends in there with them.

As for crowd surfers, I'm known for ripping their shoes off and throwing up to opposite sides of the venue, crotch punching, and power bombing. After being hospitalized from a 200lb girl landing right on my head, I have no sympathy for those bastards.

wow...your a jerk,

you should expect the shit to happen at those kind of concerts, and stay away from the front if you cant handle the dangers.

[Head Wreck]

i must admit, in my temper i hyave bounced one guy of the stage as he neared me on the security fence. but he was deliberatlt kickingt his legs forward/down at half of the peolpe there.

standing ovation from the security for that

[Goth Brooks]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

no, i'm an asshole.

and they should expect the response i give them when 200lb morons go crowd surfing, i know i'm not the only one, i see plenty of people doing the same thing. fact is, NO ONE likes it when huge fucktards go crowd surfing.

As for mosh pits, I stay away from them, so when some jackoff comes barrelling into the crowd from one and I get hit, then it's time for the mosh pit to stop and all those little angsty kids to take a time out. you want to work off aggression? join the military.

[Slept with ghost]

the same thing happened when i went to go see rage against the machine a few years back

as far as this concert goes though it was slipknot you cant realy go there

expecting any amount of respect at all from a group of fans that willingly call themselves maggots
