Any tips for moshing?
-
Prepare for pain, fights, and any other thing that may cause serious injury. Oh, and listen to "Safety Dance" - Men Without Hats.
-
I already did listen to safety dance.. its one of my fav songs xD.I'm pretty much ready for all of that. Not much to lose. just gunna be wierd with my mom watching.
-
Your mum is gonna be watching?
-
yeah.. I have two brothers.. I wanted to bring one.. so the other one wants to do anything that we do just because he feels the compulsive need to "fit in".So .. he talked my mom into bringing him.. If he goes she is most likely going to go in with him.

What concert are you going to?
-
Echelon.

personally i will get out of mosh pits once the fists start flying. besides that stay toward the center because the people around it will trip/hit/pour stuff on you. at ozzfest i was in one that was on a steep grassy hill and the circle for lack of a better word fell over and a good 100 people rolled down the hill taking people out with us. i got a little cut up on glass but that was really fun. sry random moshing experience.

Dude thats awesome.As huge as my brother is between he and I this could be entertaining xD. Then again.. he is 14 and he is pretty huge xD.This could be serious fun.

Obvious answer: Wear clothes you won't mind ruining.
-
good point xD.
-
& dont forget about shoes either!!!I always forget & end up wearing flip flops . Painful. Flats arent too bad though.
-
I was thinking about shoes earlier.. I'm not going to wear my business style sketchers.. I'm aiming for athletic shoes xD.
-
Yeah, don't do it. That's my advice.
-
wear shoes you dnt mind getting ruined. i wore a brand new pair of brown and white skate shoes and got someone elses blood all over the tongue and laces. went at it with a tooth brush and bleech pen and now the are brown and dirty white with red streaks.
-
Meh not long ago my dad bought some shoes for me to get dirty since I worked in a kitchen.. and such. I'll just wear them.

Ive moshed only once, was a fun experience overall. I got punched in teh side of the head (never saw who did it) and ended up getting into a fight with a kid that would not leave my friend alone and just kept fucking with him. Overall it was a good experience, have fun and be safe.

See, that's F'd up. I'm 27 and I remember 'back in the day' if you got knocked down, someone would help you back up.....and then knock you down again. Slayer pits are still like that. Anytime I see a show now, people are just beating the shit out of each other.....that's not fun.

I was in a great mosh pit a few weeks ago for the Arctic Monkeys. We had a great time running around smashing into each other and anytime someone fell to the ground, 2 people would run over and help them up before they got crushed. But one guy, an absolute dickhead, stood in the middle of the big circle we made and starting punching anyone who ran past. Caused a bit of trouble until we all charged him, picked him up and crowd surfed him over to the GardaĆ (police).

I hear there are some "hardcore" dancers who like start kicking and punching and shit.. But, I hear usually they get thrown in the center of the pit and smashed up pretty bad for being assholes.
