intotheshit
09.01.12 | A good friend of mine went to a show last night with his girlfriend. Right as the set for some shitty metalcore act started, a pit formed right where they were standing, and she took a boot to the face. Now she is going to need plastic surgery to repair the damage to her cheek(teeth were jammed all the way up into her gums and out through her cheek), and she has a broken nose and a shattered sinus. |

09.01.12 | "shouldn't have seen a shitty metalcore band and stood near the pit."
that's like saying 'you shouldn't have been standing on the sidewalk' when the person is hit by a drive-by shooter
you're retarded |

It's kind of hard to get away from the pit when it just forms around you and you get knocked out 5 seconds into the first song. |

When the ambulance showed up and started putting her on the stretcher(she was out cold), my boy Kevin went after a group of kids who said the exact same thing andcas just said. Kids ran away the second he started going after them. |

It was a her little brother's band opening up for 2 other local acts.

There's been plenty of shows where a pit formed around me that I didn't see coming. Don't be a fucking tool, andcas. |

andcas
09.01.12 | I personally think hardcore dancing is retarded which is why I tend to not see bands that bring that crowd. I go to actual
hardcore shows all the time where it's a different type of chaos and have no issues because I'm familiar with the scene and
stay aware of my surroundings. anyways I hope she recovers man. |

same logic rape apologists use.
you're taking the responsibility away from the mawshers to not assault the people around them who are minding their own business and you're putting the responsibility on everyone else to settle for a dangerous standing area.

MichaelSnoxall
09.01.12 | I never liked moshpits. I mainly just hate crowd surfers. I just steal the cunts' shoes. That'll teach them for kicking me in the fucking head while I'm just tryin' to rock out to a live band. |
MichaelSnoxall
09.01.12 | Going to a Refused concert in November. I guess my plan is to get in early, make it to the front and just hang at the rail so I don't get fucked over by the mosh. I hate mosh pits with a passion, I just like to see the bands play and do not feel the need to jump around and fight to stand up. |
bungy
09.01.12 | the worst are crowd surfers who are stomach down and crawling on people |
pmmets07
09.01.12 | damn you guys are lame |
MichaelSnoxall
09.01.12 | Crowd surfers nearly broke my neck a few times. I've come to the sad realisation the I need to look behind me every couple of minutes or so just to prepare for complete wanks. I also tend to punch them in the spine or stomach depending on their position. Fucking cunts. |
andcas
09.01.12 | I enjoy stage diving but I only do it in an environment where it's expected as part of the experience. as soon as I've flipped
I get off of people immediately. |
JackSparrow
09.01.12 | The front isn't really the best place either unless you're to one side of the stage, because you're where all the crowd surfers will end up. I've had my share of hits taken from moshers and surfers, you really gotta keep in tune with whats going on around you. |
bungy
09.01.12 | crowd surfing is fun and fine as long as they remember there are real people under them |

I tend to like the front because I just hang onto the rail and I don't need to get involved with the mosh, I just tend to get dry humped from behind. Biggest problem with the front is the crowd surfers, but I can deal with them. Mostly. |

09.01.12 | One concert I went to I counted the same fat bitch crowd surfing over six times. SIX TIMES. ONE PERSON. |
MichaelSnoxall
09.01.12 | Actually, I take back what I said before, after listening to Refused just now, I'm probably gonna mosh hard. As much as I hate it, how can you not mosh to Refused? |
andcas
09.01.12 | I stood off to the side and watched them since I've never seen them before. |

09.01.12 | It wasn't guaranteed that the two he went after were the ones who did anything, they just happened to say something inappropriate.
And I love how someone tried to correct me on how to spell "gay." |

MichaelSnoxall
09.01.12 | I always tend to end up right next to the 40 year old fat guy with body odour who's off his face and probably on every drug you can imagine. And they tend to wear gorilla masks sometimes. |
MichaelSnoxall
09.01.12 | "why the fuck didnt anyone drop that fat bitch"
I think people started to throw her over the rail rather than letting her climb off the last couple of times. She wasn't obese, but she definitely wasn't underweight. I just tend to have bad experiences. One time I had some woman in her 50's screaming at the top of her lungs constantly. It was deafening. I tell you, it took all of my being to avoid elbowing her right in the fucking eye. |

09.02.12 | sucks but i can't help feeling it could have easily been avoided |
intotheshit
09.02.12 | Well, when I went and saw her in the hospital, Kevin told me it happened within 5 seconds of the first song, so I don't know how it could have been avoided Emim. |
ReturnOfTheDnor
09.02.12 | If I'm ever at a show that I know a stupid pit is going to break out in, I always stand near a wall, but from the sounds of it, I can tell she was just trying to watch her brother's band and the thought of an idiot trying too hard to "express the anger inside him through dance" blindsiding her never crossed her mind.
I hope she recovers quickly man. Never like hearing about people getting hurt at shows. Music is meant to be enjoyed. |
Emim
09.02.12 | pits usually start in pretty obvious places
idk, maybe it couldn't have been avoided and maybe it could have. doesn't matter either way and i still hate the windmilling little fucks that populate every show |
intotheshit
09.02.12 | I've stood near walls before, and I've stood in the middle. Pits can start anywhere. I understand that pits usually start in the center of the floor, but I've seen them start a foot away from the wall as well. |
ReturnOfTheDnor
09.02.12 | Oh for sure, but in 99% of the cases, the closer to the wall you are, the less likely of getting caught up in a fagfest like that. I mean, anything's possible, and seeing how she got a boot within 5 seconds of the song starting, doesn't sound like she had time to realize she was in a bad place and somebody was coming at her. It's really a shame man. |
Emim
09.02.12 | needed to happen at a hardcore show |

Sucks for the girlfriend, really not sure what else anyone can say.

09.02.12 | I enjoy moshing when its basically a bunch of people trying to get as close as possible to the stage, but still not trying to hurt anyone. I've seen mosh pits where it was basically a bunch of over weight teenagers showing other teenagers how awesome their donkey kicks are. Hope your friends gets better though

09.02.12 | hardcore moshing is probably the most homoerotic thing ever all the best to your friend. [2]
Most bands I go to don't have pits but when they do I always hate it. It really ruins all the atmosphere that's going on with jumping and shit. Everyone just stands at the edges hoping to not get hit by some fags boot. |

09.02.12 | moshpits are as good or bad as the people in them. if the show is full of idiots then the moshpit will be ghey. if it's full of good people just wanting to rock out and have a great time, then it will be fine and no one will do anything stupid. |
